recycled fabric flower brooches..

Happy Wednesday everyone! It is a beautiful day today.. Live at Lunch is today in opera House square.. come on downtown enjoy some live music & support our downtown!!

I have some new fabric flower brooches. I am trying to use up all my odd scraps let over from all of my skirt making! ;)

They turned out super cute & would be the perfect accessory for Fall. Yep I said it Fall is right around the corner! Speaking of Fall..I have lots of new vintage at the shop & will be adding Fall items daily. I also made up some new pocket skirts in small/med & med./large.



There are two sizes to the flower brooches & I really love them both! ;)



This week is a busy week..I have lots to do & gallery walk is this Saturday 6-9pm.



Shop hours today are 10-5! Have a great day!! xo!

3 ways to wear Vintage scarves!

I love wearing vintage scarves! I thought it would be fun to share some vintage DIY's with you on my blog. Here is one that I have shared before. I Love vintage scarves, not only are they super pretty.. I have yet to ever find two alike & they are usually very affordable.

I have several for sale at my shop AT ONLY $6 ea. Did you know that we carry hand selected vintage clothing & accessories! It is one of my FAVORITE things about my new shop. I love vintage as much as I love handmade.



I am wearing a vintage scarf in my hair today, just tie it in a not on the top of your head & tuck in the sides.. super easy & very stylish. It looks great with short hair, long hair or great for when you are growing your hair out like me!



I have a few longer scarves that would be so cute for the upcoming Fall season tied around your neck like an ascot tie or layer a few like shown below...



& if you can find one that fits your body right try wearing one as a belt over a vintage dress. Soooo cute!



I have lots of pretty scarves available in my shop! My shop hours today are 11-5! I have sooo many new things.. stop on by! :)

p.s. there is a giveaway below! Don't forget to leave your comments for a chance to win a pretty vintage clutch filled with handmade goodness!

Have a great day! xo!

I am sooo excited about this new skirt style! I made up 6 for my shop & of course made myself one that I am wearing today!

I also added cute raw edge front pockets. I looove them!

a little bit of this & that...

Well I had a different type of blog post for today.. but um blogger doesn't want to upload anymore pics I guess!

I had a busy..busy weekend, first the Appleton market (Appleton was spared the rain on saturday morning & it turned out to be a beautiful morning) then I was at the Summer Craftacular in Madison selling my wares. Thank you to everyone for showing dainty daisies so much LOVE this weekend!

I stayed at my parents house Sunday night in Sauk Prairie where I grew up & I got to do a little thrifting the next day with my older sister.

I got this ADORABLE owl clock.. which YES is hanging in my dining room right now!



& this vinyl.. actually I bought quite a few, Blondie, the BEST of zz top, Elton John, & a few others! My gosh how did I live without this??? I could listen to Stevie Wonder all day.. well actually I have been! ;) I think the best part is it was $4. & it is like new!



I also bought lots of vintage clothing, some vintage shoes, dishes & a vintage typewriter that will be heading to my shop soon!

I will have some sneek peaks when blogger decides to cooperate! ;)

Have a great day! xo!
