In October we took a trip to Wisconsin – a part work/part fun trip. We got home the first or second of November and from then till New Year’s it was a blur of projects, business, family, and life-in-general. I never managed to blog about all the things from our trip I had planned. So now that the bustle of the holidays is past and January is swiftly winding down, I’m dusting off those pics, editing them a bit, and finally sharing with you!
A few weeks ago I made a bunch of these ruffled scarves. As I was cutting them out I thought it might be nice to do a quick tutorial for those of you who would like to make your own. If you don’t want to bother ordering the fabric and sewing one yourself you can find them for sale in my etsy shop – and for a couple more days you can still get 25% off orders of $30 or more when you use the coupon code SHOPSMALL!
And without further advertising my shop I bring you a Ruffled Scarf Tutorial
On our vacation I managed to get a bit of shopping in. There was a goodwill close to our hotel, a Greatland Taget, and antique mall we wandered through while waiting on time for me to go to my paint class, and near the end or out trip we went to Milwaukee to the Harley Davidson Museum and I also managed a quick trip to an amazing antiques shop that Laura had recommended I go to. Today I’ll share the things I bought. I have pics of the shop and of the Harley museum but they aren’t edited and I’m being lazy. Since these were already edited this is what you get 😀
Today I’m giving you a brief sneak peek at the outdoor tablescape I styled and photographed recently. I used a friends outdoor table and I have lots more great shots to share with you soon! I also want to give you a peek into the newest issue of Celebrating Everyday Life with Jennifer Carroll.
Before I share my Antique Grain sacks and other Vintage Finds I have to admit that I crashed this weekend. As you know, just over a week ago was The Vintage Marketplace at the Springfield Flea. After a totally overworked 3 weeks of prep, painting, sewing, and planning on top of school, laundry, and all the other normal everyday things that make up the life we live, we loaded up and hauled it all to the flea, set up, and spent 3 days there selling all the fun things we’d amassed.
