Hello! I am so glad you're here! My name is Polly and I am the creator of the vintage, antique, original artwork, and handmade boutique Paulie Antiques. I'm from a small town in Illinois and I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Costume Design for Theatre. I am a Florist, Costume Designer, Costume Technologist, Fashion Designer, Fashion Stylist, Amateur Photographer, Pressed Flower Enthusiast and a Vintage Picker. I helped organize a fashion show for Paulie Antiques in Spring 2012 where I created 10 pieces of clothing for a runway show! I love making bow ties, painting and pressing hydrangeas, and uncovering old things and the stories they hold. I'm in love with the past, to say the least. My Grandmother Kutch owned an antique store called "Plain Jane's Antiques" that I browsed around in when I was small. My Uncle Jim Boy owned his own antique store called Lindsey's Antiques, and my Great Grandma and Great Grandpa Polly & PJ owned an antique store in the 1950's called, "Don't throw it away, give it to PJ" or "Swap Shop" and they learned the antiquing business from a relative of mine living in California at the time. I love learning about Victorian etiquette and history. If you'd like to know more about my personal fashion style, visit my outfit archive! Feel free to email me at polly@paulieantiques.com!

You know sometimes it's best to not know your dad (if he ran away, cuz it's his lost), then to have a dad who dosent really care or ask much about you... like my dad.
I love your blog! I found it through Chictopia (which we are friends on)and have been following ever since. I love Eternal Sunshine as well and I dressed up as Clementine in the cowgirl outfit for Halloween. Nobody knew who I was though :-(

Polly I was researching vintage verses antique and came to your blog. I was surprised to see you came from Taylorville. I grew up in Blue Mound and spent much time in Taylorville going to movies, swimming,eating at Angelo’s etc , in the 70’s. Enjoyed your blog. I have it bookmarked now😊😀
