OMG. I had the most fun today. I visited Dana and her 100% vintage shop, Concetta’s Closet, in Newmarket, NH. Dana and I have never met before. Surprising, given that we are both such big fans of vintage and we only live a couple of towns apart. She and I are working together to make [...]

alabama chanin
Natalie Chanin is an inspiration. I often day dream that I will be able to create fine up-cycled items after I retire.

vintage scarf dress

re-assembled vintage jewelry pieces
I went to Craft Fix this past Sunday at the Buoy Gallery in Kittery, Maine. I got this amazing necklace by a local designer. These pictures really don’t capture it. It is a challenge to photograph a necklace. The necklace is by Amelia Davis of Kin of Kin. I especially love it because Amelia told [...]
