This season we decided to bring back a summer staple of our childhood. Salt-water Sandals made their debut in the 1940s for kids, and then thankfully added a line for adults in 2007. We love how these classics are flexible and immediately comfortable– no breaking in required!

All styles and colors are priced at a wallet-friendly $38, and they’re going fast!

Also included in this collection is a modernized T-Strap silver sandal, sure to add a metallic pop to any beach outfit. Come in and give them a try.

We’ve recently received new shipments of spring-ready dresses, like this stunner from Tulle. At only $40, it’s a total steal! Lauren paired this dress with 1960s red cat-eye sunglasses, a red woven purse from the 1970s and red pumps from the 1980s.

We’ve also been busy searching for one of our favorite vintage staples for spring: 1950s sundresses. This sherbet-striped number hits right above the knee, perfect for edging into spring and summer. It’s shown with AJ Morgan sunglasses, one of our new One Swell Gal printed totes, and a collection of vintage bakelite bangles.

For rainy days, we suggest one of our new Tulle raincoats ($85). Isn’t the lining beautiful? We love how it looks with a 1970s crochet knit top, BB Dakota leggings and 1970s Gucci flats.

For a more casual look that will still keep away the spring chill, we’ve paired a green 1970s sweater dress with a classic light washed Levi’s jean jacket.

We love the idea of longer skirts for spring, and this 1940s mid-calf, pleated beauty is the perfect example. Here its shown with an Alternative Apparel lightweight distressed blouse (on sale for $40!), a square 1950s tapestry clutch, and auburn leather 1980s pumps.

Be sure to check back or stop in for more sale news, styling advice and event updates as we swing into spring.

The glass beading is in nearly perfect condition.

Incredible wristlet detail!

What a perfect gift for any vintage lover. Be sure to come into the Holiday Store to see the rest of our new treasures.

For the next few weeks, look to Petrune both in-store and online for beautifully individual vintage costume ideas. Our first option comes from the popular childrens books, “Where’s Waldo?”

Last year, our William Tell themed window was a bullseye.

This time around Petrune is celebrating with our version of René Magritte‘s masterpiece, The Son of Man.

We did a “William Tell” window for the Apple Harvest Festival on the Ithaca Commons this past weekend. What a wonderful event. Local farmers bring all kinds of exotic apples, grapes, pumpkins etc, artisans display crafts, Brotchen Cafe serves unbelievable apple strudel, and thousands of people have a really good time.
