I heart Vintage


About a week ago my mom spotted two vintage 1950's kitten dinette sets at a vintage shop in the North East. After much convincing, I got Dan to dive me up there to take a look at them. I ended up picking the oval one with a smooth steel edging and table leaf. The top is the traditional gray "Crackled Ice", but the chrome legs are straight with a ball foot instead of the typical curved leg. Right now the table is disassembled. I have sanded down the steel edging, cleaned the table vigorously with 409, and de-rusted and polished the chrome legs. Tomorrow I plan on priming and painting the steel edging. Stay tuned for the "after" pictures.

Chicago, Chicago...that toddlin' town

Recently I was accepted to the Renegade Handmade Craft Fair in Chicago. On September 11th I will be road tripping it with my mom, so I can sport my wares on the streets of Chicago, September 12th & 13th. At this show I'm going to have new displays, plastic bangles with animal charms, more one of a kind pieces, and some limited additions works added to the mix. So stay tuned.

Mod Cloth: Chomping at the Bit

It has been only ten days since I sent out my order to Modcloth.com. , but I check the web site everyday now looking to see if my "Sitting Foxy" and "Jack-Jack the Bandit" necklaces have hit the new arrival section yet. I just might be premature on my action, but I am so excited and can't seem to be patient.
