ModSquad Delight!

Hello all! I've just begun my spring break from classes and have spent most of my time crafting, sewing, photographing, thrifting, making displays around my home, and participating in wonderful conversations on the ModSquad group through ModCloth. I'm a Style Ambassador for 2012 and so far I have found it to be such a welcoming, warm environment. Included in this post is a photo of my most recent bathroom display, the room itself is oh so teeny and by filling it with some of my most favorite knick-knacks I have made myself want to go in there so much more than I ever used to! Included in this display are: Vintage Squirrel Nut container, Vintage Deer bookends, Vintage Golden Deer figurine (which I find to be superb for holding rings), my favorite moustache mug, The Moustache Grower's Guide from ModCloth's website, a wooden red fox figurine next to 2 vintage aqua blue cups, bunches of retro patterned Journals from Michaels Craft Store, and a vintage book of the "World's Most Loved Poems" <3 What do you think of this Display?

Sew Totally Rad

Sewing can be such a unique and beautiful Art. One of my favorite activities has been creating, not to mention hand-stitching, fabric necklaces. There is something amazing about being able to take fabric, scissors, thread, needles, ribbon, felt, & vintage buttons, and combine them into an outstanding piece in only a few hours time. And you can't use a sewing machine to do that!! Today I was inspired by the captivating aqua blues and how the different hues of them coordinated wonderfully with the pearly and gold vintage buttons. To see more of my original work, take a peek under the "Handmade by Me" tab at the top of the page. Today I am a Sea Bird.

Oh, the Joys of Vintage Nesting!

I want to share my latest Vintage finds with those bird-watching. I'm slowly building the timeless, old, antique world around me that I feel so comfortable in. Somewhere I belong that this time period doesn't always satisfy. I obtain these items all over the place. Sometimes early morning garage sales, thrift stores, or estate sales. There is just something different about the feel of an old piece, adding it to the collection is so wonderful. The joys of vintage nesting.

Some of my favorite outfits!
