I wrote about Diana Foxwell and Revival Vintage Boutique for the first time in July of 2017, but as I mentioned then I knew about her and her wonderful store for many years before that. It was a lovely experience to finally meet her when I discovered that her store had moved to Hoboken, and just recently when I saw that she was moving to a new location I was excited to see what new ideas she had in store. Diana is one of those people whose presence is so lovely that you'd want to visit with her even if she didn't have a wonderful store to visit, and the fact that Revival Vintage Boutique has a history of having some of the finest of vintage finds anywhere makes her store a destination that is a must.
In these current times we're living in, finding an oasis of beauty and light is so important. When we think of self care, for each of us the answer is different, but whether you are looking for a fun shopping experience, a blast from the past, or just a vision of beauty, Revival Vintage Boutique is the place where you can find whatever it is that you need. I happened to be walking by the new location one day recently with a friend, and though the store wasn't opened yet, I was drawn to the golden light emanating from the windows. The space had been something entirely different before Diana moved in, and true to her nature she had transformed it into something so interesting and lovely that my eyes were drawn to it even before I realized whose store it was. I went back a little while later to check on how the planned opening was going, and though the store was not open, there were some signs of new life. Lovely things were in the windows, accessories, shoes and jewelry, and the golden curtains promised that so much more would be eventually found within.
People like Diana Foxwell are so special that it's an adventure just to visit with them. You never know what you'll find at Revival Vintage Boutique, but whatever it is that you find you know will be a treasure. I'm looking forward to stopping by when she is fully up and running and finding that special item and discovering the newest of her storehouse of precious goods. It's a marvelous thing when someone like Diana Foxwell begins to open a new door. During these many difficult months it's people like Diana who appear and give us hope that the time for renewal is now.
