Autumn is Here!

It has been a long, long while. I have moved to another city and my life is evoloving. I have missed my shops and updating them very, very much! This weekend I worked on some new jewlery listings for ItsBella, as well as the new addition of some granny blankets to the mix. Enjoy!

Just some things around the shop...

I wanted to share a few of my favorite things from the shop this week...

 

Pssst...there is also a few new items in the sale section. It is time to make room for the spring line!

I love lamp.

Oh my my, what a find indeed! My family and I went thrifting this morning to my local downtown thrift store and fund this beauty. I have always noticed vintage arc lamps in other blogs and such, but had never come across one myself.

Since it was the store's half off all tags day, it become mine for a mere $7.50! I can't wait to take some photos in day light!

A few days ago I sold this fabric to someone on etsy. Today I heard from my customer that she had made the fabric into this great bracelet for her shop Ponder and Stitch. It is unbelievably cute.
I just love seeing something I loved go to someone new and become something completely different! What a great transformation. The vintage butter yellow button is just the perfect combination.

primitive kitchen

I was never one for the primitive antique finds, but recently I have found myself being more interested in them. I think it is my love for anything old that helps.

Lately I have been listing old kitchen utensils, enamelware, and tin pie plates. Perfect for the farmhouse, country, primitive style.

great thirft store scores...

three vintage fabric doll dresses. saved from a falling apart garage in eastern Pennsylvania.

This morning proved to be a great morning at my local thrift store. Lots of neat jewlery pieces and a wonderful mid century scandinavian ceramic planter.

Grunge Revival

I am not sure how I feel about this "grunge revival". I remember liking the tiny florals and babydoll tops with leggings, but I am not sure I can get behind all that is coming back. I like the idea of a romper, I am just not sure how I would pull it off.

I do love this one from Deer Heart Vintage, with boots and leggings, it is adorable!

deerheart vintage - $48.00 [here]

I used to completely dislike pleats as well and now I find myself attracted to them! Am I becoming more sophisticated or just old?

Ring Thing..

I have also been playing around with some salvaged vintage jewelry lately. This afternoon I made six rings. They are made from all kinds of old jewelry like earring and pieces of necklaces. I have a few favorites, but they should all be available in the shop by the end of the week.

**they will ship FREE with purchase of another item!

so excited...

I am so excited to announce that I recently purchased an ad over at Rachel Red Lips' blog! She runs a really fun, brightly colored vintage shop on etsy as well as writes a vegan friendly, thrift store hopping, vintage clothing loving, cross country moving blog: Rachel Red Lips.

She was so kind, helpful and sweet. Head over to her shop to see some real cute stuff!

vintage thread

...lots and lots of vintage thread! in the shop now...

late spring...early summer...

I have some great flea market finds this week in the shop! I am finding myself gravitating towards the more primitive and rustic treasures like enamel pots and trays, old kitchen utensils, and wooded boxes. Enjoy...

Tied Up Memories...

I am really smitten with this adorable shop I found on etsy. Tied Up Memories uses salvaged vintage costume jewelry and gives it new life in a new piece of handmade jewelry. Really sweet!
