My Love Affair With Vintage Clothes

Sigh…I LOVE vintage clothes…so much so that I thought I would share this love with the world.

I started out a few years ago buying vintage clothes for myself. a couple of 1960s jackets and a few tops…even a dress here and there.

Then I started collecting small things, things like porcelain or chalk wear.

Then came a couple of postcards and playing cards.

Then I had so much I had no idea what to do with everything so I decided to open up another shop on Etsy and I called it Gardenofbella. That is where I turn old greeting cards,playing cards,postcards and you name it into usable blank journals. OH what fun I have turning something old into something new again and with a purpose!

So back on to the clothes part….did I mention that I LOVE vintage clothes…of course I have my own style ,I kinda lean to the 60’s era of clothing. but I will consider other eras as well.

So again this love for vintage got out of hand and once again I had to share it with the world!! I love when I can take something off the shelf that nobody wants and find a new home for it!

I am not alone on Etsy, there are MANY vintage shops to be found there. and some offer the most gorgeous clothing you have ever seen. Prices can vary too from shop to shop.

So If you have a love for vintage clothing, like I do…go on over and see Etsy’s Vintage section…you wont be disappointed…;)

And dont forget to take a peek at mine while you are there…;)

My Brand New FLOWER Garden!

OK…I have been having sew much fun on Etsy with my bellaflower shop, That I went ahead and opened another shop…yeah I know crazy…but sew much fun….notice the pun??

Anyways…its all about the FLOWER! I love flowers,almost any kind really, just not dead ones.

I want flowers sooo bad in my house…but my cats WONT have it…I mean, sure they love them…TO DEATH!! They always seem to eat them…and get to them no matter where I put them.

So I have to wait till summer to tend to my garden…oh and by the eay I live in MANITOBA…and it is a LOOOONG time to wait for summer to get here.

No biggie, I just had to get creative and come up with my own flowers, Ones that would last forever and not be tempting for my cats to kill.

Well along that route of flower creating I guess my OCD kicked in and I decided to GROW a batch of flowers…flower key-chains,flower brooch’s,flower magnets…flower…you get the point!

Oh and by the way…don’t think I am taking a stab at people that have OCD…don’t even go there with me….I might just start obsessing over you obsessing over me!!

Where were we…oh yeah the flowers, I think they look pretty fancy smancy but I will let you be the judge of that!

Please feel free to comment…about the flowers…not the OCD…oh here I go again…..
