I have a bit of an obsession with vintage air travel. It’s too the point where I’m annoyed with people (including myself) that don’t travel in their Sunday best and I long for the glamour and elegance of retro travel. So I used a little spirit of the skies making these save the date boarding passes. Check out more styles in my shop and Happy Flying! 👩‍✈️ 🥂 ✈️ . . . #boardingpass #boardingpassinvitation #passport #passportinvitation #engagementseason #engagement #weddingplanning #bridetobe #savethedate #vegaswedding #retroairline #retrotravel https://www.instagram.com/p/B180ZXYHP4H/?igshid=9uiafmlgmguk

An odd little time capsule from 1986 found in my Chevy van from the same era, along with a first aid kit my parents had from a few years prior. I am hopefully in the last stretch of getting their house to market, and preparing the van for my trip to vend at Hexenfest after the house is finally listed. #retrolife #retrotravel #timecapsule #1980s #havetarotwilltravel #wanderingwitch #vendorslife (at Bainbridge Island, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1P9G0RFdbq/?igshid=q2a0ikngvgau

#Moscow is many things to many people, and everyone finds their own reasons to visit and keep coming back. It’s a best place to unravel the layers of history that envelop this part of the world. As the founding site, and some say the very heart, of Russia, this city is a treasure trove of monuments, fortresses, churches, and museums built to remember the heroes and battles of its past. Thanks to the combination of mafia portrayals in Hollywood movies and the unrelenting bad press in Western media. Take it all with a huge grain of salt, and don’t let it dissuade you from exploring Moscow’s many cultural wonders, from top-notch exhibits some of the world’s most gorgeous subway stations replete with stained glass, marble and intricate mosaics. #travel #specialsaadha #adidhotre #adityadhotre #retrotraveller #retrolover #mytravelgram #travelling #fun #trip #holiday #instagood #visiting #vacation #traveler #travel @russia #russia (at Moscow, Russia)

Soon it got dusk, a grapy dusk, a purple dusk over tangerine groves and long melon fields; the sun the color of pressed grapes, slashed with burgandy red, the fields the color of love and Lovely mysteries. . . .
