I’m nearing 100 sales in my Etsy shop!
To say thanks, and because I’m excited to hit that mark, I’m having a sale! All sales until I hit 100 {and including the 100th sale} will be 15% off with the discount code ONEHUNDREDSALES. Plus, the hundredth person themselves will get an 8 1/2 x 11″ framed print of The Days Are Long image that I made and shared last week. Wouldn’t that look lovely up on your wall?
Happy shopping!
xx.

Countdown ’til shop reopening: 2 days!
Yesterday I shared the products that I’ll have in stock for Misters, today I’ll be showing what I’ve got planned for the ladies! These items will all be available in my shop this Thursday! All purchases will come with some special extras {more details on what you’ll get when you buy from Jeeze, Julia! tomorrow} and the first five sales will get even more free stuff! So, keep an eye on the internet Thursday. I’ll make the announcement here on the blog, on facebook, and on twitter, when my “doors” are finally open so be ready! Here are my for-the-lady items:
Also, if you’re a facebook fan you’ll get free shipping! Just let me know in the “message to seller” when you purchase, and as long as the names match up, I’ll reimburse your shipping costs if you live in the U.S. or Canada. Check in tomorrow for more details, and be ready for the shop opening some time on Thursday!
I can’t wait!

Countdown ’til shop reopening: 3 days!
Before I opened up shop, I wanted to share my products here for you to see! A little preview never hurt anyone, did it? Plus, it’s been forever since I’ve posted and I couldn’t stay away any longer. These are the things that I’ve been working super hard on lately, and I’ll be carrying in my shop for sirs! Ladies, I’ll share what I’ve got in store for you either tomorrow or Wednesday. Try not to get your knickers in a twist until then – ha!
The stock shelf in my studio space is full of accessories just waiting for new homes. As you know, if you’re in Portland, Maine, you can purchase some of my ties at Find or the Merchant Company, but I’ll have an even greater selection available in my Etsy shop on Thursday! I can’t wait to show you some of the beautiful vintage fabrics I’ve been working with!
See you for more details tomorrow

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my shop!
The holidays pretty much cleaned me out, so it was definitely time for some new stuff. Here’s what I’ve added:
| A houndstooth bow tie for your most dapper of gentlemen friends! |
| Goldenrod hanky + goldenrod bow tie — a handsome set! |
| Fire King round baking dish in the Blue Heaven pattern |
I have even more to share that I’ve finished and photographed, but are not quite ready to list yet. I’m back on track as far as my making is concerned, so expect more from me next week { these are just teasers } ! I hope you’re all doing exceedingly well, and that you have a chance to peek into my shop sometime soon!
Have a lovely night!

It’s been awhile since I’ve had anything new to share!
But I’m pleased to announce that this week I added several new listings to my shop. With holiday shopping well under way, I thought I’d better replace what I’ve been selling lately. A couple of these things have been hanging around my little workshop, just waiting to be listed, and the holiday rush was apparently all it took.
| Here’s what I’ve added |
Well, I certainly don’t need any more bunting around my apartment, so I’ve decided to part with this {golden brown bunting}. You may recognize it as the piece I made for a DIY How-To for the Goodwill Industries International blog. There’s just no place for it in my home with all of the other handmade decor that I have, so maybe it could find a place in yours?
Isn’t this {silk scarf} a dream? In my wildest fancies, I pictured this scarf tied daintily under my chin keeping my hair set in place while my Mr. took me for a drive through the countryside in his convertible. Of course, we don’t have a convertible, my hair is pretty much always a mess anyways, and we don’t live in a classic movie. So, it’s up for grabs.
I can’t imagine how long it must have taken to make this gorgeous {embroidered floral display}! Really, the details are everything in this piece. Those colours, and the precise little stitches — amazing. I can see this so lovingly displayed in someone’s vintage-inspired ranch. Or perhaps a little country cottage? I know it will find a wonderful home somewhere. Will it be with you?
These two little pillows make a perfect pair, but are listed separately in my shop just in case you fall in love with one more than the other (just don’t let the other one know). They are a {periwinkle houndstooth} and a {gray/blue fleece} pair. Both looking for good homes. I’ve been selling these heart pillows a lot, actually, and most people order them in twos, threes, or even fours! They’re being used a lot as props for photo booths — how fun!
I’ll have even more newly listed items soon!

And for those of you who are also fans of my facebook page, I offer free shipping within the U.S. and Canada! If you love vintage + handmade, then you’ll love my shop. I’ve added several adorable new things this week. Here they are:
Floral Heart Pillow
Heart of Gold Pillow
Sheer Vintage Apron
Retro Floral Height Chart
So that’s what I’ve been working on. A little thanks to my dear friend Erin for scouting out that lovely little apron and sending it my way!
Have a wonderful afternoon!

I’m officially dubbing this week “apron week”. Remember back in this post when I mentioned that I may in fact be obsessed with aprons? Well, there’s no doubt in my mind now. This week I have come to terms with it, and I’m embracing my addiction!
Here’s what’s new!
A vintage floral apron!
Hostess With The Mostest Apron in Red Clouds
Vintage Handmade Apron
Vintage Fire-King Bowls
I had so much fun with my shop this week!
Now I’m hoping for another one just like it

I’m so excited about this little woodland friend chart! It was requested to match this fabric, and I was so happy to oblige.
I’m just delighted with how it turned out, and I’m thinking about making another just like it for my shop.
What do you think?

This week I’ve got some really lovely new finds!
My absolute favourite is this fantastic pillbox hat that I’ve been coveting for a month or so now. I just couldn’t part with it for awhile and planned on keeping it all to myself. Alas, we need the money, and I’m not sure I’ll ever have the occasion to wear it, so I give you the prettiest little pillbox hat I’ve ever set my eyes on:
♥ Also new this week:
Something for the misters in your life -- a woodgrained hanky!
Retro pool party anyone? Here's a super fun vintage beach ball!
A pink and white houndstooth heart pillow!
You've seen this one before. She's been sold and relisted!
Have a lovely night!
xx. Julia
