Vintage Knitting Patterns Updates

Okay, I never completed my initial task of posting all my lovely vintage knitting patterns- but DO NOT FEAR! They are coming soon!

The thing is that I don’t naturally structure my time well, and due to my lack of a schedule since starting this job… things have been a little crazy. BUT, I have a daily schedule written on my WhiteBoard wall that My Dear Hubby installed for us to organize our lives on. I am slowly shaping my day to mimic the written schedule. Right now I am playing catch up on all my other things like upkeep of my shop and prepping my Etsy room. Once I have caught up during my aloted times then I will use them to progress and begin to do the things I really want to like posting all my knitting patterns.

So, Hopefully once my Christmas Crafting extravaganza (fam don’t get excited, I just took on one huge task- you are not getting pants handmade by me or anything.) and I also get a lot of my organizing/prep work done then I can settle down and photo and post away.

By the way, I am curbing my coffee habit in the most wonderful way… by decreasing my coffee intake: Here is a visual of my progress

A full cup of coffee…. how does that help curb it you ask?

It’s a tiny Cup!!!

Don’t worry, I fooled myself too!

Vintage Shoes for the Feminine Types and the Tough Ones Too

Ugh. My husband said I sounded like a Hillbilly because I use the word “Yup” two nights ago. Kinda like he thinks I look like a granny if I wear a granny sweater…. someday he will understand that I can’t look like a grandma as a 5′10″ 28 year old with a Pixie Cut and Skinny jeans just like I can’t be taken for a hillbilly if the rest of the words I use are precise and articulate.
UGH, such a difficult life, hopefully these will ease the burden you are now carrying for me due to my husband’s misunderstandings….

Size 8-9

Size 6

COMING SOON:

The Next Pair I tortured myself an entire day trying to see if they would “break in” and give me more space. They didn’t so you get them!

Size 9

Stop drooling! Yes they are super tall and look like you are a super-hero, but show some self restraint!

Should I really sell these?

I was prepared to give these up.. but the Metallic Top and the Skirts I am struggling with. I just have to keep reminding myself that I don’t wear skirts very much and that means that I should allow others to have them. Well, I hope you get a chance to own these lovely tops and skirts before I change my mind!

Sneak Peek and Fresh and Easy Review

Just finished a shopping spree in Pomona which left me so excited I had to post a Preview of what is to come!

So, after being convinced that I was going to be mugged in the parking lot of the Salvation Army I got my treasures to the car, jumped in and then hauled my booty out of the parking lot. I only venture there rarely as they don’t always carry much good vintage. It’s sad but true… I still heart the Salvation Army Thrift Stores.

Here’s a few peices… I would have added more, but the photos came out pretty bad.

I have about 6 tops, 1 leather jacket and a dress waiting for me to pick up tomorrow… Maybe I’ll do a quick posts so you can see the fruits of my labor.

Part 2: Fresh and Easy Review.

LOVE IT! Why? A few simple reasons: Great packaging of products, they look so appealing to me, They carry Pesto, they clearance out their bread super cheap! I am talking RoseMary Rolls for 65 cents!

Issue: The check out, I was asked 3 times if I needed help working the self-check out scanner so I must really look like a dunce or something. But I did enjoy grouping together the different foods in the bags.

Part 3: Hair Cut on Saturday:

Woo!

Happiness is My New White Vintage Table

Oh, the joy that this brings me!

We bought a Hutch, set of matching danish chairs… oh, and a HUGE UGLY table that was thrown in with the other two items off of craigslist. For 9 months I have been staring at the hideous beast every day. Finally we got around to selling it on craigslist and I purchased a beat up ugly table for $7 from the thrift store.

Two months after that (I move slow) I went with my hubby to pick out paint and actually remembered to buy all the needed supplies. I waited until he had left (I work best when he is gone because the fun in the painting is to be able to suprise him when he gets home!) then painted 3 thin layers of primer and 4 coats of brilliant white paint.

I then dug into my fabric stash for some fabric he and I had picked up a year ago in LA and never figured out what to do with. I wasn’t really sold on it, but we had some people come by to pick up our danish sofa and the two of them plus Lee decided it’s a good combo…. Stacie-1+ Lee-3= Stacie Looses =(

Dang.

So, once I find my staple gun that he bought me for valentines day I will attach the fabric… Also, I am drying some coats on the chairs… so ignore those.

The Danish Sofa we just sold:

The Value of a Vintage Sweater

Ah, the Art of the Sweater. In my opinion, one can never and I mean NEVER have enough Vintage Sweaters. They add a unique touch to what you are wearing no matter what the season it is. The same sweater can take you from a lovely layered look in winter to thrown over a swimsuit in summer. Plus when complimented who doesn’t love to respond “Thanks. It’s Vintage.” Or maybe that’s just me…

Take the time to browse MY SHOP for new sweaters to fill your wardrobe.
