My day, Friday, Nov. 21, 2008

Well, today I decided to visit one of my favorite thrift stores. They are having a big sale on Monday and I decided to scope it out. This is a big store, I can spend hours here. I ended up buying some items, I couldn't wait for the sale. I found this great vintage party dress, lots of lace, sequins and ruffles. It is from a store called Montaldo's and is fabulous. I will be adding it to my shop, vintagestyle101.etsy.com, as soon as I get some better pictures. Then I checked out the books and found these great vintage craft books from the 70's. They are from Time-Life and are called the art of sewing. But they have a lot more than just sewing. The covers are beautiful too. Great coffee table books or an addition to your sewing room. After I look through them, I will probably list them on my site also. At check out I found this great pair of vintage eyeglasses. The frames were made in France and have the prettiest rhinestones around the lens. Too cool! When I got home my new felting machine that I just ordered on Tuesday was sitting on my steps. I can't wait to try it. I have it set up and looking for something to practice on. Tonight I have some sewing to finish, a fabric choker and a velvet vest that I stamped.

New Shop Section - for babies!

I've just opened a new section in my Etsy shop for baby items.
Currently there are some old-school style bibs and soon there will be other designs and colours, all with form following function, so to speak.
This batch are made of super soft flannel, like a tribute to my winter bedsheets. If you live in chilly climes and have not yet invested in some super soft, thick flannel sheets, what are you waiting for?!

Now about the colours...I didn't choose pink and blue because I want to put your baby in a box...a gender box, if you will. No, that's just what I happened on in the store and they were so lovely and soft I couldn't help myself. So mix it up! Put the blue on your girl, the pink on your boy...or keep it traditional.

And a final point about the multi-faceted nature of these items...a gave one to a friend for her new baby and her toddler daughter immediately claimed it as her apron. Darned if it didn't fit just right too.
