....checked out my ETSY shop lately? I've added a few vintage items for sale! These great vintage 8 MM home movies...

And...some vintage books...



It's been a busy week, but hopefully I'll be back to posting some projects in the next few days! Thanks for your patience!

upcycled book binding

So, I really enjoy going through the racks of vintage records at the thrift stores and estate sales to find cool old covers. I especially love children's record covers. I don't even own a record player anymore, but I just love the images. I thought it would be a great way to recycle/upcycle these covers if I I turned them into art journals.

So, here are the results...

Walt Disney's Songs for Bedtime!

Of course the best part about coptic binding is that the pages lie flat while you work!


And, here's another cool book made from the Carnival of the Animals record...

They will be for sale in my etsy shop!

Spring tote

I'm so excited about my most recent project, which is for sale in my ETSY shop now! It's a beautiful tote done in gorgeous spring colors from the Amy Butler Midwest Modern fabric line! Oh, I love Amy Butler fabrics. They are so beautiful!

This tote has a large outside pocket, which is great for keeping items like your cell phone and keys for quick access.

The inside is lined with coordinating fabric (matches the handles).

Winter Artisans Bazaar

Hi Everyone!

Thought I'd share some pictures from my setup on Saturday at the Bazaar in Chesterfield. Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us! It was a lovely event and for a good cause! I'd especially like to thank my mom, dad, Dynamo, and Lexi! It's been crazy getting ready for my first show! I took over our dining room table to practice setup and do inventory, so we had to alter our eating location for a few days! Lexi spent lots of days covered in glitter and thread. Dynamo had to construct a card stand and boxes, and do lots of flower assembly (along with lots of other things)! Mom had to paint and cut bottles. Thanks for your patience and all of your help everyone! Dynamo...I LOVE YOU!

 

There wasn't a spare spot to be found in the 6x8 area I was given! I wanted everyone to be overwhelmend!

Be sure to check in on my ETSY shop this week. I hope to be listing some items each day this week! If you're local we can arrange local pickup! Happy Monday!
