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!
