Treasury Tuesday – Mad Style

With the new season of Mad Men upon us, a 6th level of classiness has dawned! Sanja, from Craft's Garden of Zen, has put together this clean, retro chic treasury and has kindly included my little vintage button bobby pins. There are some great finds here, including a darling 60's dress pattern, a vintage pink sewing machine, and a gorgeous leather clutch.

Make My Monday – Meet Me in Person!

Saturday April 13th craft show and plant sale at Raleigh Moravian Church

Would you like to meet me or see my creations in person?! If any of you are in the area, I'm going to take part in a local craft show this Saturday. This will be the first time I've ever done anything like this before! I'm a bit terrified (okay, a lot terrified!), but there is no time like the present to do something that scares you. I don't really have what you would call "displays" or anything, but I'm going to make do with what I can find in my home. I will be bringing all the items from my shop, plus over one hundred that have not been listed yet. To have a peek at what will be there, visit my shop.

So, please come visit me and my smiling face! I would love to meet you! Just know that this could be a total disaster, an epic fail, or I could be situated between two top hat wearing monkeys and it could be the best day of your life. 

The craft show is called the Spring Fling and will be held at Raleigh Moravian Church, located at 1816 Ridge Rd in Raleigh on Sat. April 13th from 10am to 3pm. 

Wish me luck and hope to see you there!

*************************************************
Side note: Because of the chaos surrounding the preparation for the craft fair, I won't be posting a Thursday Thrill, Saturday Shop Talk, or Sunday Snag this week. Sorry guys, but I will return the following week! Thank you for understanding!

The Sunday Snag – Ewe Complete Me

bubblegum pink sweater with white dots and lamb print from the 1970s

Isn't she a cutie?! I snatched up this adorable novelty sweater from Anna at Revolving Styles. This was my 3rd purchase from her and I have loved every one! 

From the 1970's, this knit sweater is pastel pink (yes, you are seeing many pink purchases and will probably see many more!) and has a fun polka dot and sheep pattern! I was a little frightened because the measurements for this were pretty small, but I knew I wanted it to fit snuggly (more like the 50's pinup style). Fortunately, I lucked out and it fits! It is a bit snug under the arms, but nothing noticeable.

I wore this the day I went to cut off all my hair, so it is already a lucky charm for me! Of course, in keeping with my routine, I didn't think to take photos (someday!). It is still cool enough here to wear the sweater, so I paired it with a deep pink tank that peeked out underneath and a pair of high waisted, dark wash, skinny jeans and brown riding boots. It is so much fun and I feel so bubbly with polka dots and little sheep for company!
