Out-takes

If you take pictures of your own children, you know it's difficult! Sometimes a few treats have to be involved. :) This "out-take" is Jillian begging for more fruit snacks. It just makes me laugh because when you look at the best pictures...the ones that make it into the auction...it seems like the children are frolicking about for the camera. So this is the nitty gritty of it. :)

I heart Joel Dewberry

His fabrics are so yummy...they all mix and match beautifully. Right now on ebay there are a whole bunch of designers all working with his fabrics...all in heaven. This is what makes it fun to sew! The outfit you see here on the left is just one of several that I have listed right now.
Enjoy!

I bet they'd be...

....rolling over in their grave...you know the housewives who so carefully ironed their floral tablecloths in the 1940's. Eventually they'd have a few holes and be packed away and somehow make their way to the Alameda Flea Market a good 60 years later. That's where I come in! ...carefully planning and cutting around imperfections to make a sweet little vintage outfit. Enjoy!

Where have we been????

Typically a week doesn't go by that I'm not listing something new on ebay. This summer we had some great opportunities to travel, so ebay got pushed to the back burner. I'm happy to say that we're back and super excited about the transition to fall. This fall will be my 6th on ebay, my how time flies! For our debut we were lucky enough to recruit one of Jillian's friends, Kira, to model with us. Check it out on ebay right now!

rustic and shabby

Found it! I was looking for rustic and shabby...here it is...and no "no trespassing signs" in sight! Here's the result...

in the weeds

Here's my plan B - coming soon on ebay!

no trespassing

So, the inspiration came for this sweet fabric and I had a perfect spot scoped out to take pictures. As I drove by, I'd image where I'd take pictures against the amazing texture of the slightly rusty metal. UNFORTUNATELY Jillian saw this no trespassing sign. Plan B- the side of the building in the tall weeds. More to come. :)
