New.. new..


So I am super excited about the small batches of vintage clothing I have found and appliqued on! They are simple.. but yet beautiful vintage flower appliques! I loove them! I just did this dress that I found at a thrift store last week! ;)

I also will NOT be at the market tomorrow.. the forecast is a bit chilly and windy for me to be outside selling skirts... so with that the shop will be open 10-2! Come in and see what is new!!!

Have a great weekend!

New headbands..




Here are a few headbands I have been working on... I love the beaded style! So cute! I have been having problems w/ my pics uploading and not sure what is going on. :( Luckily I took some random pics around the shop so I would have some blogging topics!

I also am starting something new! We are doing our share of recycling.. so if you bring in your dainty daisies shopping bag from a previous purchase for you to reuse you will get 10% off your entire purchase! Yay! (and yes it must be a dainty daisies shopping bag!)

Hope you are all having a great week.. mine has been nice & busy! I also am keeping an eye on the weather for Saturday's market! So far not looking to good! I will keep you posted!

Happy Thursday!!! xoxo!

gettin' ready for Fall......



Well I apologize once again for the little blog break! My husband and kids took a road trip in my beetle to Montana! I have been without my camera for over a week. I am working hard on new things for fall. I finally picked up some corduroy for fall wrap skirts.. purses are starting to turn plaid with some wool like vintage fabrics. I also have been putting simple appliques on vintage clothing! It is sooo much fun and I am recycling!

Fall hours soon to be posted as my hours will change when my kids go back to school.. in less then a week! It makes me sooo sad summer is over!

I am leaving you with a pic I took awhile ago of the tags I made up for the recycled shirt skirts.. love them! Happy Tuesday & Happy birthday to my lil' sis Nora!!! Love ya!

Fall inspiration clip boards...




I aplogize everyone.. I didn't really mean to take a blog break! I have been sooo busy! I actually took a few days and went down to Madison to hang out w/ some good friends and my family! :)

I was bored the other day at the shop and made some little inspiration pages that I clipped on clip boards! I hung them in the bathroom at the shop for fun! I have lots of inspirations in my sewing room.. I may find a snippet here and there and hang it up! It is usually a fabric.. or color and sometimes even a building like a barn or log cabin .. don't know, it just is! :)

Hope your week has been great! I am sewing all night tonight.. I have 2 wrap skirts left total.. YIKES!

New recycled shirt skirts!




Oh how I love these! So I have been looking around for ideas (inspirations) to make some recycled skirts... I first came up with the camp skirt made with mostly vintage fabrics & now the recycled men shirts skirts! I have seen some variations and I finally came up with my own! I love them.. they not only are sooo comftorable.. adorable and I am using some really cool thrifted mens shirts (recycled)! They have a simple elastic waist and I loove the button front with the original hem. Very flirty! I wore mine pulled up high waisted today with a vintage belt!

....photos taken by my very talented daughter Jada! :)


let me know what you think... I sold one today already and I got lots of compliments on mine! They are only $20.00 ea. I will have to take pics of the tags tomorrow.. they came out soo cute as well!

Have a great day!
