Morning Glorious started out back in 2000 as Morning Glorious Collectibles on eBay, where I became a PowerSeller, offering everything from pottery and glass to old books, ephemera and artwork. Eventually the focus of Morning Glorious became vintage clothing, wearable textiles and period fashions. I chose this specialty because I've always worn and loved vintage fashion. Vintage clothing is made so well, and the styles are timeless and beautiful. I took it upon myself to learn everything I could about this amazing field. After 9 years of eBay sales, I have over 5000 positive feedbacks and a 100% positive rating!

My business was featured in the book "How to Do Everything with eBay" (Greg Holden, McGraw Hill).


Morning Glorious has been written about and/or interviewed in The New York Times, Hooti Couture, The Vintage Fashion Guild Blog, The Rutland Herald, The Brattleboro Reformer, The Message, and Vermont Maturity Magazine.

I have sold to collectors and museums around the world, as well as provided outfits and accessories for theater, film and television (notably, the fabulous AMC drama "Mad Men).

After eBay, I opened a web shop for MorningGlorious on Etsy, where I offer 60's, 70's and 80's trendy and retro clothes and costume jewelry, and some collectible kitsch, housewares, ephemera and mid-century modern. I also occasionally sell my handmade hankie-t-shirts and Heartifacts jewelry.

The next venture was Market Publique, an exciting new online auction site for trendy vintage!

Who are these Morning Glorious people, anyway?  ...



 
Our eBay logo lady is my great aunt Sally, the photo was taken in 1915.
 
 
The 1940s logo for this website is my mother Florence - she was so glamorous in the Forties!
 
 
 
The menswear logo features my father, Jay. He was a male model in the 1940s, and his mother, my grandmother, was a hat and glove model in the NY department stores. We are apparently descended from a long line of tailors, furriers, models, and makers of cosmetics and perfumes. Oh, and my Mum won a design contest around WW II, for drawing a pair of shoes. It must be something in the blood.


 

This business is run by me, Jennifer Karpin-Hobbs. In this photo, I'm wearing a 1940s satin floral gown that I got at the Sturbridge Textile Show. This photo was taken at a live vintage fashion show fundraiser with 31 models which I organized in 2008, and the ladies of the Grafton Women's Community Club gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers at the end!

Vintage is my passion, and so is excellent customer service. When you purchase from me, you can be assured that I will treat you as a greatly valued customer. Your order will be carefully wrapped in pretty tissue, properly protected, shipped/insured, and sent to you with delivery confirmation (or signature confirmation for orders over $200) within 3 business days of receiving your payment.


Some recent customer feedback comments:

A wonderful new website customer sent me this message recently:
 
Hi, Jen! All I can say is, "Oh, my goodness!" The dress arrived and as I tore into the packaging my heart raced. I withdrew a beautiful, pale blue-gray, finely detailed specimen of 1940's American fashion from the tissue paper and eagerly put it on- a perfect fit! (Maybe I was born 30 years too late?) Your detailed description and measurement/fit suggestions have helped this 'Can't-believe-I'm-gonna-be 40-Girl' to find the perfect dress to make her feel like she's "togged to the bricks" for her birthday bash!
Thanks again! ~Ashley

(Thank YOU - Ashley! and Happy Birthday!)
