Ebay

Slowly but surely, I am purging out my vintage collection. There are pieces that I'm not too crazy about or have been photographed too many times.

A few days ago, I listed my first item on ebay: a 1963 Enid Collins handbag.

I took it out today for one last spin while running errands.

Dress: Anthropologie via Buffalo Exchange - $20

Purse - 1963 Enid Collins - Starting bid $8

Shoes: super old!

Bracelet: 1960's Trifari via thrifted - $6

You can find this 1963 EC purse depicting the 4 seasons here.

I hope the next owner gives it a good home.

Stickers Galore

Lately, I've been on a paper crafting kick! I've gotten really into pen pal-ing and searching for the perfect kawaii washi tape.

I even created a different instagram account to show my snail mail.

I've since decided to sell my paper goods online. I have a variety of stickers and will be introducing a special Halloween line!

Dreaming of the 60's

It's been a good minute!

I've been really good about taking pictures...as for blogging, obviously not! So I'll have several still summery outfits that I may or not share on.

I also feel a bit inspired and don't feel like writing much. I'm not going to push it! I think I just need to get creative and work on a new project.

What do you having coming up for fall projects?

For now, I leave you with this late 1960's skort/romper that I found at a garage sale several years ago. It's one of my favorites and one of my first vintage clothing pieces. I will probably keep it forever!

Sorry if this post was bit all over the place :p I promise to stay on one subject next time!

Winter Break = Sew Sew Sew!

During my winter break, I've been sewing nonstop!

I started out with making owls and sometime in the middle I realized I needed to sew something I would use or someone else could use. I also thought about how my etsy shop is just about empty. I was going to add more clothes to it, but decided against it seeing as most of the clothes I have are super summery. Then I came up with the idea of sewing makeup bags to add to the shop, so I drafted a pattern and it's been cutting and sewing nonstop since! In a few weeks or so, I will be adding makeup bags to the shop! You have no idea how excited I am! :D

Here's a look of one of my unfinished bags!

I'll leave you with a picture of one of the dresses I'll be selling in the shop once it opens, enjoy! :)
