But i do love vintage clothing and a good story so what do i do . Its about 8 00 in the morning. I literally climb on top of this dumpster and you are all looking at me very oddly. I started going through these things and they are old flapper dresses and the vintage collection of handbags and among this sort of urban treasure wreck was a red leather diary kept by a woman from 1929 to 1934 at the height of the depression and long true fairytale short, ended up tracking down the diarys owner at 90 with the help of a private investigator.
