Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween! My daughter & I handed out candy at the shop this afternoon.. I apologize for running out. It was supposed to be from 2-4 but everyone came early! It was still a fun day.. and I hope many of you who came out today will come back again & support our downtown!



I dressed up as the Fox Mom from Fantastic Mr. Fox! I purchased the handmade felt fox mask on Etsy and the rest of my costume was pieces I already owned... my tail was from my son Max's Max costume from Where the Wild things are!! :)

Have a safe & Happy Halloween!

I really do think they love each other.. even with the evil dog eyes! J.k. That was from my camera! ;)



On shop talk... Main st is supposed to open today.. on the section up to Algoma blvd. It is not open as we speak, but lets keep our fingers crossed! I also heard that it will reopen entirely next Friday. Yay!

There is lots going on .. I am staying very busy organizing Handmade for the Holidays which is less than a month away! Yikes. I also have two other holiday shows to prepare for in Madison! I am taking a mini break and going to see Ingrid Michaelson tomorrow night with some friends and I can't wait.

My kids have a Fall dance at their school and Halloween parties to prepare for! I hope you all have a great weekend filled with lots of Fall fun!

Vintage LOVE!

I am so excited to finally add some of my vintage items to the shop! I have a select amount of vintage dresses & soon wool skirts. Some are reconstructed & some I have left as is! I am also carrying beautiful vintage dresses by my friend Rebecca of Picture Day & I think together we offer a nice selection covering many eras! :)



Here is the new set up on my new Ikea rack! I love this rack & I made a little pennant banner out of vintage shelfing paper. I added the words vintage.. although it is not quite finished. I have plans to finsih the letters with glass glitter!



I also made up some new long sleeve bow tee's! I love them!! Two of the bows are made with corduroy fabric...



sooo cute!
