Oldies and Goodies

I’ve been meaning to share with you photos of my studio after I painted it grey from bright yellow (goodness, that was a while ago!).  And I guess this is really just a tease since I’m not quite ready to really show you everything. I’ve spent many hours cleaning, organizing and rearranging this room; it’s the one in the house where the misfit furniture ends up and I finally figured out how to make it all work.

Here you see some of my most loved vintage wearable things including stuff that will end up in le shop.  I’m really excited as I’ve had a kind of epiphany in terms of what I want to do with my time and what makes me happy; therefore my shop is going in a slightly different direction than where I was taking it before.  (But I don’t think it would be much of a shock to any of you.)  Details later.  (Oops, there’s that teasing again!  Hee hee.)

Vintage Clothing, Coming Soon

The weather keeps changing on on down here in the Southland.   We had some really lovely fall-like weather and now it’s back to HOT.  I guess this back and forth has gotten me to focus a little bit on my wardrobe.  What to wear, what to keep, what to give away!  I have a bunch of vintage things, many of which I have never worn, that I’ve decided I need to part with.  For those of you that collect vintage clothing, you know that can be quite the challenge!  My closets are overstuffed as they are; as much as I love these finds I’ll probably never get around to cutting them down to fit me or perhaps the full skirt look I adore so much really doesn’t suit my frame.

Anyhow, this is good news for anyone looking for the right vintage item to add to her wardrobe because I’ll be putting some pretty things up on Etsy soon, including what you see here as well as a coveted nylon blouse (or two!), a sweet bag and maybe some trinkets too.  I’ll let you know when there’s a shop update!

Ok, I may need to cool off with an icy drink - and it’s only 11 am, ha ha!  Have a wonderful weekend, dears. :)
