Here are some things I've been working on...

So, I have been super busy creating new things for my shop, "Peppermint Pink" on Etsy. New hats out of re-claimed fabrics.....

New dresses and slip dresses out of vintage slips....

and hair accessories too!

Stop by and take a peek....

More Holiday Boutique Photos

Here is another table at my boutique - this one was the "Vintage & Tattered Romance" table....though I think I took this pic after it had been picked over quite a bit...

My friend Karen showing off her wares: burnt orange vintage slip-dress, vintage pearls and hand painted cross.

I absolutely had to show off my "candy-bar". I saw this in a magazine and had to do it! I loved it and kept it up (in fact all the decor - even including the pom-poms) the whole holiday season. The framed "Noel" was supposed to be my wreath this year for the front door, but was too light and kept sticking out from the wreath hook. Oh well, live and learn..

another one of the "candy-bar"..

Where have I been, you ask?

So, I spent allot to time during October/November trying to get ready for my Dec. 4th "Shop in my Closet" Boutique. It turned out to be so much fun and I ended up having way more things to sell than I thought! Well, I would rather have had that, then not enough. (I think I spent half a day just turning out various necklaces and earrings...manic).

My friends Suzie and George posing with their wares: my up-cycled heart scarf, prayer box and Bliss tiny picture.

Decisions, decisions...


My sweet friend Amanda, in from Vegas, posing with the painting she just bought "Asian Scene". Loved seeing her and boy, did she walk away with a lot of goodies!


Just one of my displays...I really loved how it all turned out! From decorating with pom-pom's, to how every corner had a different kind of theme. This table was sort of a cute-kitschy, colorful one. Will post more pic's in next post....

Ok - another b&w...

Another photog of my pretty friend...

Now, I'm not a photographer or anything, but.....

I think this turned out pretty good. My friend posed for my vintage clothing store and I started fooling around with the black and white. (BTW - hair/make-up done by meeee...).

Seriously, ridiculous

These are just some of the things that I have been working on for the last month - for a local boutique: 10 gypsy scarves, 6 boxes, a few pieces of jewelry and tiny canvases. Very thankful for the business. This is what has kept me away from blogging lately, but I will be resuming my more regular posts next week and my BlogFrog connections too!

A Peek at Something New

I have been working away on some of my inspiration boxes for a client that is going to put them in her boutique near where I live. I have such a love for vintagy-style boxes, flowers and birds and love to paint them in a lot of my art work. I may do a line of these for my ditzyredhead shop on Etsy also. Enjoy!

Plugging back in....

Wow! It's unbelieveable how long it's been since my last post! I though, "oh it's just been about a month or so..." - my how time flies! Well, I have been up to so much!!! I have been cultivating alot for my other shop Peppermint Pink on Etsy. I have vintage and reconstructed clothing there where I upcycle the unloveable discards that other's have thought were trash...some of my new items haven't even made it up there as friends' have seen and bought right out from under me! Here is an example of one of my new one's.....I would love to know what you think?
