Bow Ties for the dashing!

I have had bow ties on my son before bow ties became dashing fashion. I have always been one for vintage style since the beginning of my ability to choose my own style. And as its still not easy to find ties in kiddo size with the patterns I like, I decided to figure out how to make them on my own. I gotta say it still takes some time to make but oh the possibilities, especially when they are perfect for awesome vintage remnant's. Skye as well wants to make ones for kid's and I am making adults as well. They will be splendidly packaged and available at the Vintage Peddler show this fall. So be prepared to to stand out as one snappy dresser! Hmmm ties for the genteel lady?... I better get to work...

Puttin on my Painting Shoes

Some artist's have a well loved smock they put on before they get their art on, other's , a favorite splattered Tee, other's , that one pair of jean's you use to wipe your brush on. Me? I have had all the above but lately I have been  encouraged to paint when I sport my paint splotch shoes. And I'm gonna wear them quite often this summer as I prepare for a particular show this fall called The Vintage Peddler which I'm supa dupa excited to be a part of and will share detail's and peek's at my project's and wares I will have in the show as I go along. To start here's some pretty posies painted with acrylic on salvaged wood that resulted while wearing my comfy painting shoes! Have a wonderful day! Xx Dawn

Vintage Market Day's

Recently my gal pal's and I went to a vintage market, kinda like a smaller version of the Country Living fair. We found a lot of good scores. I picked up a shweet plaid picnic set, and a great little vin suitcase for my sisters collection. We had great food truck fare and beautiful weather. Chalk another one up for a fab , fabby girl's day out!
