Dream Storage

I’m getting super twitchy about moving (only another month) because I’ll finally have a chance to decorate a place.  A nice little place to call home, be warm and work in.  I’m really, really excited for this change – or evolution – or whatever it will be.

I’ve been stalking a few design blogs for the last month or so, and I’m pretty pretty inspired.

Today, I found this photo on Design*Sponge and my mind has been working overtime trying to figure out how to build it.  The problem is that there’s too much great stuff out there.  When will my mind reach a limit and just put a stop to my obsessive imaginary interior designing?

As I mentioned earlier, I did some seriously thrifty shopping last weekend.  I was lucky enough to score a major jackpot in the vintage sewing pattern department.  Here’s a collection of just some of the patterns that will soon be available through my Etsy site.

Each of the patterns featured in this collage are UNCUT!

A Thrifty Weekend

I’m back in Stirling for the weekend and I’ll be able to hit up my usual thrifty spots.  This afternoon I visited two of my favourites in Campbellford.  After $47 I have a trunk full of unbelievable finds!  The Salvation Army was having a bag sale and I must have plucked every vintage piece they had.  There were some items in there that I’d been waiting on for months now.  Thank goodness no one in Campbellford cares for vintage (or at least none of the people that shop the Sally Ann).  I also raided the Busy Bee which was fantastic as ever.  Lots of great vintage clothing, craft supplies, fabrics, books and more!  I could spend a full day in there and not be tired of it.

 

Tomorrow I’ll pay a visit to Saint Vincent du Paul in Belleville.  This store has to be in my top 5 favourite second hand shops.  The prices are so fair and the staff are great.  Plus, they have a huge selection of crafty bits and pieces as well as stacks of books.

 

I’m just in the process of washing out some of my new clothing (some will have to wait for the cleaners).  I’ll share some of my finds once I get them photographed.

 

Nighty night!

I’m still in the process of adding a tonne of vintage tea towels to my Etsy.  I had some fantastic luck shopping the other day and I’m passing some of them along to you.

Here’s a look at some of the great pieces I found.

I’ve added some of my new line of magnets to my Etsy page.  I’ve created them using clippings from vintage magazines and newpapers.  I pick out the things that seem funny to me and hope that they make you smile too.

Here’s a sneek peek at some of them:

My Etsy shop is being attached with weapons of serious cuteness!

I picked up these vintage wood toys about six weeks ago.  Last night I finally had a chance to photograph them and list them in my store.

Moving On East

I haven’t had much time to do anything super fun or crafty recently.  My husband and I have been busy busy packing up our packed apartment.  The silver lining in this whole situation is that I’ve uncovered lots of vintage treasures.  I’ll be adding some of these fantastic re-finds to my Etsy over the next few days.

 

Here’s a sneek peek at what I’ll be offering.

Button. Button! Who’s Got The Button?!

I’m in total destash mode.  The idea of moving ALL of my stuff is absolutely freaking me out.  I’m having little fantasies about building a little bonfire that I can clap and dance around.  Rather than alarming my neighbours and bringing in the fire crew I’m going to try and deal with all of this is a healthier way.

I’m going to be adding some more supplies to my Etsy site.  I spent some time last night photographing buttons.  I’ve had this collection for a while now and I never really get around to using them…so I thought this would be a good time to downsize.

Here’s some samples of what I’ll be offering:
