For the past 4 or 5 years, I’ve attended a local arts festival with my grandparents (I don’t have a single photos of us there, hello, lady, document some memories). I do remember to take photos of what I get (so important) after though. I bought a clutch from a refurbished leather jacket. A handwoven… Continue reading Art Fair Haul

Art Fair Haul
My grandparents and I made our fourth annual trip to a local art fair again. I went once before without them and then after I invited them once we’ve made it a tradition. I love it. My attention span matches with their strength and the area is a nice, small size. This lovely tray is… Continue reading Art Fair Haul
Local Art Festival Haul
I cannot remember if I posted these or not. I couldn’t find a post in my quick survey. I attended the art festival for the 3rd time with my grandparents, 4th time total. And my do I love that. I bought my mom soap and myself a lotion stick. My grandparents bought a slate to… Continue reading Local Art Festival Haul
Travel Treasures
I bought a few jewels on my trip and picked a few things up off the beach in San Diego (most of what the sea washed in was GOBS of seaweed which is disgusting . . . sayeth the Gulf child). In Albuquerque we stopped at Genuine Southwest Arts and Gifts, and I bought two… Continue reading Travel Treasures
A Touch of Elegance
I bought a little something I had been eyeing for a while in this store (I wanted to buy tons more jewelry, but I was good, at least temporarily) to wear in my hair for my brother’s wedding. Again, my horrid photography does not do the subject justice. Here is the store photo. Also, the… Continue reading A Touch of Elegance
A Few Unique Aspects of Style and Color Theory
I love what I have learned on Inside Out Style Blog. I am rather disappointed that she seems to have removed old posts with her updated site though, or maybe I am too techno-ignorant to find them. Here are some unique aspects of fashion and color theory, most of which I had never read about… Continue reading A Few Unique Aspects of Style and Color Theory
Accessories: Scarves
This is my scarf collection minus one (a very important one: my first cashmere scarf). I have only in the last year seriously started my scarf collection and my winter selection is quite limited. I also would like to build my ethereal silk scarf collection. I am also hoping to find a real, white lace… Continue reading Accessories: Scarves
My First Designer Purse
I have had a suede leather purse, but it was small and I am not a fan of suede. I have usually only had cheaply made but expensive man-made material purses. I want to make some purses, but I will have to buy materials. Anyway. One of the Clothes Mentor stores had some of their… Continue reading My First Designer Purse
Whimsical, Unique, Artsy Jewels
I won a customized locket from Origami Owl a few years ago. I knocked the back out when trying to add a too wide charm. I need to find out how to fix it. My ten commandment bookmark from childhood. Books from Hobby Lobby to make this necklace or one similar. Except I do not… Continue reading Whimsical, Unique, Artsy Jewels
Art Festival
I attended an art fair/festival with my grandparents one week-end recently. We went together last year also. So. much. fun. and. family time. I think we should officially make it a tradition since we all enjoy it so. I cannot post photos of all of my purchases due to some of them being gifts (although… Continue reading Art Festival
Vintage Buys
I mentioned in a previous post that I ordered a vintage pattern. Here is the pattern sleeve. I cannot find a date, but the ebay listed stated 1940’s. All the pieces are pre-cut, yay! The pattern is just one (too small) size, but I think I can enlarge it fairly easily. Look at those neckline… Continue reading Vintage Buys
Art Festival
I went with my grandparents to an annual arts and crafts festival in our area. This particular one is my favorite of the few such events I have visited. This year was even better than last year. I went a little crazy with my shopping. I wish I had thought to buy Christmas and birthday… Continue reading Art Festival
