Why we've been MIA
Soooooo, we've been sort of MIA lately. Why? Well, because we are hosting a pop up shop event here in Houston. We are so excited (it's in less than 2 weeks). We are up to 13 vendors now!
Things have been going great, it's just so time consuming. We haven't had a chance to list much on our Etsy shop. We've been hand washing, steaming, measuring, tagging, emailing vendors, shopping, etc. The list goes on and on.
We promise, after April 9th, we'll be back in full swing! In the meantime, if you're in Houston, swing by Griff's Irish Pub's parking lot for our event. There will be a DJ for entertainment and the pub will be open for business. You know what that means in addition to all the vintage goodies? Lot's of food and booze!
Just a few pics of all the madness going on in my house right now. The pics of the clothing are just a tiny preview of what we have. The pic of the box are our goodie bags which includes a a few things including the bookmarks in the last pic.
Have a great day lovelies and see you soon!

Cover that thing up
Since having my thyroid surgery last week I've been avoiding going out because of the HUGE scar on my neck. Luckily it's cooled down a bit here in Houston and that only means one thing...scarfs!
Hoorah! Just in time for me to make an outing (my girlfriends bday is this weekend). I wouldn't dare go out with my neck exposed and gross everyone out. If you saw it, you'd agree :)
I have TONS of scarfs but I think it's time to do the "out with the old, in with the new" bit. I've been perusing Etsy sellers and I found some beauties!
How does one make a decision?

Anyone who knows me, knows I love vintage paisley
via Beta Accessories
I adore this one. Exquisite!

You can't have scarfs without a scarf clasp...vintage at that!

This is my fav. This may be sold before you even get a chance to read this post!
There are so many more on Etsy....I'm leaving this post to continue to browse.
Have a Fabulous Friday, lovelies!

Pretty in Paisley
As I sit her and reminisce about the 80's, which I do quite often (I know, I know...those glory days will pass you by!), I think about all the paisley I used to wear. I remember the shoes, the shirts and yes, even the pants with the paisley print. I was crazy for paisley! I'm wondering when it will come back, because I'm totally ready :) Hell, why should I wait? I might just bring it back for myself! While the thought has crossed my mind, I decided to see what I could find on Etsy. Take a look at my fab vintage paisley finds!
I adore all the items, but the ones I would really love to have are the hat and the shirt. Don't think the shirt will fit, so I might have to just get the hat :)
What do y'all think?

My Favorite Local Designer
I am ashamed to say that I've been hiding something from you guys. Something.....actually, someone amazing. I don't know why, but I've just now thought about sharing her with you :)
Some years ago when I started working for UT, I met LaTarsha Williams aka Delmonicole. I got to know her as a person and we became pretty good friends. She had always mentioned how she would love to start her designing career. We would always talk about how each of us would love to start our own businesses and not have to work for "the man" :)
Luckily for us, we were both able to start our dreams. For her, quite literally. Let me explain...when we would discuss her ability to come up with fashions, she would tell me that her designs would come to her in her dreams!! She would describe to me how her dreams would dictate what her next design would be. It was just amazing and so are the creations...which is why I just had to share them with you. I'm hoping that she'll start creating plus sized designs because we are in desperate need of a good designer!! :)
Below are a few examples of what she's created:

As you can see she is UBER talented and creative! I wish her all the best with her Delmonicole clothing line.
If you are interested in any of the above designs, you can contact her directly at delmonicole@yahoo.com
Her website will be up and running soon! It's www.delmonicole.com for future reference.

Something new....well, old
So, I've been debating on whether or not to stick with just jewelry in my Etsy store. Meaning, should I try clothing and/or knickknacks and such. Well, today I went to my usual thrifts in search of my jewelry (which by the way, was a big disappointment). I decided to take a look in the clothing and housewares stuff. At one store, I was able to find the CUTEST vintage dress. Mind you, it does need a little bit of repair work, but nothing I can't handle. It will just put my sewing skills to the test :) I also found a BEAUTIFUL vintage leather coat. OMG, if it were my size, I would have kept it, I tell ya! It's actually in pretty good condition. I just need to secure the buttons a little more. The last clothing item I found was this FANTASTIC green overcoat. Once again, if it were my size, I would probably keep it :)
On to the next store....no clothing on this trip. I figured I would try a little at a time to test the waters out there in Etsy land. At this store is where I perused the home section making sure not to overlook anything. Since this was my first attempt at this, I wanted to make sure I took my time to make sure I was actually picking vintage items. To my liking, I was able to find the cutest 70's ceramic salt and pepper shakers decorated with mushrooms. Just the mere image of the mushroom, brought that era to mind. I remember my mom had lots of stuff with mushrooms and frogs on them. I also found a owl (very prominent in the 70's) figurine that was just too adorable to pass up. The last thing I found, which I thought was very unique was an clear ashtray that had 70's stamps glued to the bottom of it so it would show through the ashtray when placed upright. It has green felt to cover up the stamps, which gave it a nice backdrop.
I have to say I'm pleased with my purchases and am very excited to start photographing and listing them on Etsy. I hope I have luck with selling them. I had such a great time searching for these items, that I totally wouldn't mind doing this on a regular basis.
I'll be listing them tomorrow, so keep your eye out. I'm crossing my fingers and toes! Wish me luck!
