Gallery walk this weekend & lots of new goodies!

I can hardly believe tomorrow is September already! My kids go back to school tomorrow & while I am looking forward to a new routine, I am not sure I am ready for the busyness of the school year.. football, dance, homework ect.

I am also VERY excited to be a vendor at The Creative Connection in Minneapolis Sept 15-17..along with Glitter Workshop & Space Oddities! ( I am trying to prepare & get the store nice & stocked plus have lots of extra inventory for my shows!)

I am excited to feature soap crafter Misha Dubinksy of Midwest Girl soap for gallery walk.. stop down from 6-9pm Saturday night & check out all of Misha's wonderful soap creations!



Courtney of Tizzy Dee just dropped off a few Fall hats & arm warmers.. cooler weather will be here before we know it!



I also made some cute daisy stud earrings with a few matching hair pins out of these lovely colored cabachons.



& Fall candles are at the shop. I have pumpkin spice, pumpkin pie & vanilla hazelnut available( they come in tins too!)



I am getting the shop all ready for Fall. I started some cute Fall displays & put out my light up twig pumpkins!



p.s. I am in total denial that it is supposed to be almost 90 tomorrow & Fri.! I am sooo ready for Fall temps!

Shop hours are 11-5 Wed-Fri & this Saturday 6-9pm for gallery walk! xo!

Trailer LOVE *inspiration*

I have pinning lots of pictures on pinterest, looking for inspiration for my vintage trailer soon to be mobile boutique!

Here are a few I love...

ADORABLE cupcake shop!



I love the colors & the outdoor set up! The blow up pool...soo CUTE!




a few cute displays that are inside a mobile boutique...



& the vintage wallpaper on this shelving unit! *SWOON*



I love the canopy on this trailer. Mine has a roll out canopy & I am pretty sure that is what sold me on it! LOVE!



It is going to be REALLY hard to wait until spring to start renovating.. but in reality my holiday shows will be starting soon (which will keep me really busy) & I want to do it right, so for now I am gathering lots of inspiration & doing some research!

Have a great day! xo!

My new to me (1974 prowler) vintage camper!!

Happy Monday everyone!! I bought this camper on Sunday!!! Here is the story.. I was sitting home late Saturday evening checking out vintage campers on Craig's list & came across this one! The listing was too good to be true & it was too late at night to call on it!
I couldn't stop looking at it & the price was sooo reasonable! I slept on it, asked my husband to call in the morning & at that point realized that the seller had lowered the price by $150. so now it was an even better deal!

We (My Dad, husband & I)met up with the seller in Spring Green which is about 30 min. from my parents house & bought it! It is perfect!!!!



I have big plans to remodel it into a mobile shop for dainty daisies & daisy LOVE vintage! The camper even has a fitting room.. they gutted the bathroom made it into the closet & it makes a perfect fitting room. It has new tires, new roof & a canopy, cute pop up windows as well as a flag pole! Really.. COULD IT BE ANYMORE PERFECT?? :)
p.s. if you have been following my blog for awhile. I have been dreaming about this for a few months!




There is one problem.. I can't get it in my back yard so it will stay at my parents until spring when I plan to work on it & find a home for it!

I am soooo sooo excited! I plan on changing the inside & out .. it will be soo cute when I am done. I have been gathering ideas for awhile now! I will keep you guys posted through the entire project! * I am smiling ear to ear!* ;) I think it will be super fun to see it transform over time!

Happy Monday!! :)

Craft night this Wednesday 4-7pm .. Coasters!

This Wednesday is Craft night at my shop from 4-7 pm. It is a first come first serve until supplies run out type of thing. ;) We will be making decopage tile coasters! I have lots of fun papers available & some vintage story book pages as well. You are welcome to bring your own photo copied pictures but be sure they are not ink jet printed.. the directions say that ink jet photos smear.

There is a limit of 4 per person while supplies last. I have lots though so we should be good. They cost is $5. per coaster. You will need to let these dry & this project will require you to give it a clear coat at home to water proof. Most finishing sprays are really cheap.. although they may be fine with just the modge podge finish.




I hope you can make it! The pic above is a sample pic off of the craft website where I found the tutorial & guess what.. I have that nesting doll paper available! ;)

See you Wednesday!!!
xo!

Vintage Friday... vintage inspired fabric headbands!

Wow! It has been such a loong week! I have had soo many ideas in my head & I am feeling very inspired by the upcoming Fall season, (It can't get here fast enough) crisp Fall mornings, cooler temps, layering... yes please!

Here are a few new things I have been working on.. I really love the turban look, but honestly it is not for everyone so I have had a Rosie the riveter type headband idea for awhile. I actually used a piece left over from a wrap skirt tie to make the first one... then I just could'nt stop making them.



You can wear them to get the Rosie look when tied in the front.. but they also can be tied in the back for a traditional fabric headband look. I used mostly vintage fabrics in this set.



(Rosie the riveter photo)

I started a few new Fall accesories. I love how these headbands turned out. I used some vintage plastic flowers & leaves. There are only a few.. so they are defintly limited edition.



and here is a vintage what I wore pic.Sorry for the somewhat blurry pics. I have to fight against the sun in the mornings at my shop & I am not totally used to my new camera yet.



fancy felt bow headband.. made by me available at my shop $10 ea.
top .. I think Areopostle (believe it or not! Lol!)
skirt..vintage red & white polk a dot that I thrifted a few years ago
sandals.. Salt Water sandals! Love love LOVE them!!

I will be at the Appleton market tomorrow (fingers crossed the rains stays away!) My shop is open til 5:00 today!

Have a great weekend! xoxo!

p.s. craft night info. is up on my website. I will try & blog about it maybe Sunday or Monday!

Meet my consigners... Midwest girl soap!

Meet one of my consigners.. Midwest Girl Soap! Many of you may remember Misha formerly of Sweet Usoapia.. She has been making & selling her soaps since 1996. Misha opened up many doors for me waaay back in the summer of 2006 we became friends as she stopped by my booth at the Oshkosh market & asked me to sell at her shop at the time (which is the location my shop is in now)! We quickly became friends & then shortly there after moved into a joint space at my old shop. It has been a quite a journey bringing me full circle to really one of the first spaces I sold at (the location that my shop is at now 219 Market st.).. & I am now selling Misha's soaps here again! ;)




Misha makes the most AMAZING soap. We have several scents available.. lavendar, Bay rum, lemongrass, sweetgrass, jasmine, bar none (an unscented bar for sensitive skin) and many more.



She also makes AMAZING sugar scrubs!



and wool felted soap.. handmade soap in wrapped in hand dyed wool felt. The felt acts like a scrubby when it is wet.



Stop by & check out our wonderful handcrafted soaps!! I love her soaps.. that is all we use in my household! Misha is also my featured artist for Sept. gallery walk! SAVE THE DATE!!

Have a great day! xo!

P.S. My website has been update with craft night info & new Fall hours!

Happy Friday everyone! I have decided to do something new on my blog.. every Friday I am going to post something about vintage & or a what I am wearing vintage outfit post.

I love vintage & alot of people don't really know how to wear it. One of the things I looove most about vintage clothing.. is that vintage clothing is so well made, very unique & chances are you won't see anyone wearing the exact same outfit! ;)

What I am wearing...
Top....appliqued vintage top by Brillian Stranger
Skirt... thrifted vintage denim wrap skirt
shoes.. Salt water sandals
(I have had for a few years.. go get a pair if you don't have any! They are my favorite shoes EVER! So comftorable & durable.)

Have a great day! xoxo!!

Nerdy!

Soooo it has been over ten years since I have had my eyes checked & purchased my last pair of glasses (whoops!) I have noticed lately that it is getting harder & harder for me to thread a needle.. in my line of work that is a little important! ;)

I have been on pinterest looking for some vintage inspired eye glasses so I can get some new glasses soon!

I seem to be drawn to nerd glasses!



& I love this style as well as the color options...



I really love these.. but cat eye glasses never look good on me!
