A little backstory to those new in my audience. This began as a thrifting blog. I then rebranded (don't you just love that word?) as a fashion blogger modeling thrifted fashion. I met other fashion bloggers in person and online that I still follow to this day. Many have moved over to Instagram and have abandoned their blogs.
I rebranded yet again a couple of years ago and stopped modeling thrifted fashion and purchased Sally Stand In, a vintage dress form just my size. I love her, she has taken up permanent residence in my sewing room.
That rebranding also included taking up an interest in quilting. I have always wanted to quilt but was way too intimidated by the craft. I would love to be able to bounce things off a guild but my time and location don't allow that at this point in my life. Luckily, I had some sewing background so I wasn't totally in the dark and Youtube videos came to my rescue when I would get stuck on a certain element (binding a quilt comes to mind - which direction does the material go when I get to a corner? I've finally got it down now).
Other side interests include vintage dolls and clothes patterns and sewing-related ephemera.
I've bumped into a giveaway at http://www.royalvintageshoes.com/vintage-shoe-brands/royal-vintage-shoes-footwear for $175 to purchase on that site. I am especially enamored of these 1940s white vintage oxfords.
Another link, unrelated to the rest is the discovery of this custom woodworker, designer/maker of Asian influenced furniture and home décor saikiwoodwork.com. I'm in love ~ *sighs*
With another hot weekend in store, I will be continuing my inside activities of quilting and scanning images onto my laptop.
What new loves have you discovered online?
