Profile Information

Interest in Ephemera: Collector, Dealer, Researcher, Author

About Me:: Deanna Dahlsad is an avid collector of many things but especially vintage magazines, “things pertaining to female history”, kitsch, and quite often, things she's never seen before that she can afford.

The only thing she loves more than collecting is ~~talking~~ writing. (Nearly anything but bios for herself.)

She's the founder of Inherited Values (antiques & vintage collectibles) Kitschy Kitschy Coo (with her husband), and Ululating Undulating Ungulate (art site) -- among others.

Dahlsad publishes vintage home ec tips and projects at Things Your Grandmother Knew and is a professional author/columnist, including for Twolia (Kitsch Slapped moved to its own domain in 2010), Gadabout Media, and Collectors Quest, as well as freelance for other sites/publications.

(Yes, Virginia, there are more blogs by Deanna; you can them via her Google profile.)

Featured in Collectors News: "Dahlsad is a touchstone of where women have been, what they wore, and how they carried themselves to get there. She is a historian of how powder puffs and nail polish have both ensnared and enshrined the image of womankind."

Presenter at the Association of Midwest Museums (AMM) and Mountain-Plains Museums Association (MPMA) Joint Annual Conference, 2008: Museums & Web 2.0: Slaying Dragons or Titlting at Windmills? Blogs, YouTube, MySpace - Using Social Networks for Museums.

Interviewed on The Ephemera Show (podcast), October, 2009.

Scheduled presenter at the Bookmark Collectors Virtual Convention (February 20 and 21, 2010).

Items from my collection appear in such places as the Virtue, Vice, and Contraband: A History of Contraception in America exhibit at the Dittrick Medical History Center and Museum (at Case Western Reserve University) and The Hingham Shipyard Historical Exhibit.

I Start A New Collecting Site!

I've started a new site, Inherited Values, because I wanted a place where I could, with other moms and pops in the biz, focus on sharing the joys of collecting old things with collectors. Dealers, after all, have plenty of matchmaking tales ;)

As the site tagline says, we don’t do antiques and vintage collectibles by the book!

* At Inherited-Values.com the focus isn't on… Continue
