Shopping - Sew a Fine Seam

The Vintage Marketplace – Recap

I haven’t disappeared completely I promise! I’ve been sleeping, cleaning my house, sleeping, keeping appointments, and sleeping some more. I’m starting to feel a bit caught up – and now I have to dive in and meet some deadlines. But I wanted to update you and let you know I’m still alive! If you follow me on Instagram you know I’m still here and you’ve seen some of what I brought home from the flea, what my workroom looks like, and a bit of my newly decorated ‘mantle’.

All the photos I’m sharing today are from my iPhone and are straight from it. No editing – I just didn’t have time. I am already falling behind on some deadlines so this had to be quick.

Here is our booth in The Vintage Marketplace at The Springfield Flea, Springfield, Ohio.

The Vintage Marketplace – Springfield Ohio

Shopping· Stitched

This weekend it’s all about the flea. The Vintage Marketplace sets up big tents at the Springfield flea in Springfield Ohio and rents out booth spaces inside them. It’s a huge undertaking to set up and run a show at a 3 day flea. I am set up with Stacy from Stacy Morgan Designs. She has all the great pieces that really make the booth a showplace and I added a few of my creations and vintage finds.

School Sale Finds

I didn’t make it till the last day of the sale but I still managed to find quite a pile of fun stuff. I try not to think about what I missed by not being there the first day!

A Package Full of Bliss

Blogging· Shopping

A couple of weeks ago I received a package in the mail from a friend I’ve never met in person. Someone I’ve come to know from her comments on my blog and more recently through Instagram. When I pulled the package out of the mailbox I immediately recognized my friend’s name but I was puzzled. I didn’t remember ordering anything or winning a giveaway or anything that she would be sending me.
