The Long and Short of it ~ Part 2

Some more 70s goodness! Can't wait to put these into the shop starting this weekend~
The last one is my favorite with a subtle bamboo print and beaded shadow neckline :)

The Long and Short of it ~ Part 1

Photographing quite a few things from the 70s lately. Here are a few sneak pics from a photo-shoot on Saturday morning with my dear friend Sarah. The bottom two are already in the shop! Part 2 coming later today~

Never to late ~ Shop update

A black and Gold shop update in Spring? Yes & let me explain. I have many closets full of vintage. Each one is dedicated to upcoming shop updates & approaching months. For instance, there is a closet filled with Spring colored dresses in beautiful shades of sorbet set aside for the months of April/May. There is another closet filled with 70s vibe denim shirts, leather accessories, nautical clothing & Tribal jewelry for June. At the end of each month most items are gone to their new homes but for some reason I have ended up with tons of leftover black and gold. Maybe because I hate photographing black or maybe it was my mood, I am not sure. So, here it is. Lots of black in the middle of March. St. Patrick's day none the less!

The fearless Irish in me!

Black and Gold. A new favorite color combination I think. I will admit that the traveling dress of Marquise de Merteuil's is never far from my mind...

An introduction

Very excited to share this with you. A little sneak peak into a new adventure. Don't you just love those? I will be opening a new shop called No Carnations Home.  This little video is a small example of some of the great finds I have been collecting for my first shop update. Expand to full before hitting play. Thanks for watching!

Opening soon ~ Spring 2011

Inspiration Board March 2011

Taking lots of photos, reading up on patent numbers & dates, cleaning, cataloging and trying not to fall in love with my growing collection of goodies for a new shop ~ No Carnations Home.

Vintage Garden

A huge shop update today inspired by watermelon radishes from a local garden and the beginnings of shoots, tendrils and sprouts that are beginning to push their way through the blanket of leaves on the ground.

A 1960's Wedding

...with all of the trimmings, for a Thursday morning shop update. Why not?
Add loose long tresses, pictured in front of the church with a Karmen Ghia in the background...ok.
