NYC

While we were in New York we decided to go to Hoboken, New Jersey-home to Carlo's Bakery aka

 The Cake Boss!



After a 20 minute $45 cab ride, we discovered a line of about 50 people outside. When we were selected to go inside, there were another 40 people in a very small bakery! We bought tons of pastries, saw Buddy's sister and one of the bakers from tv! We enjoyed our cannolis and cupcakes then found a $9 bus back to the city! Evelyn was a good sport and let me stop at a flea market on the way to New Jersey.

Vintage Hair Accessories

My daughter thinks only "old" people would wear these! We stained a piece of leather, sewed on a vintage shoe buckle, added the stick and voila! I'm back in the 70's!

NYC

Lizzy & I are off to New York City this morning, we were chosen to be in the audience for Martha Stewart's Show on Consignment/Thrift Store finds! We are very excited about the show and spending a quick weekend  in NY.

I'll let you know all of the details next week!

Tony

I just finished a custom belt buckle for a new friend. This is a photo of her dad with his horse "Tony". I was lucky to find a rhinestone horseshoe amongst my treasures!

I dropped the buckle off a little while ago, I hope she likes it!

Yesterday...

Yesterday, I bought this leather belt at Amvets Thrift Store. It was half price!

Today, it is a cool new cuff for my daughter!

Did you know that Martha Stewart has a show coming up on Consignment/Thrift Store finds? I can't wait!

Restyled leather & vintage spoons

Look what you can do with scraps of leather and vintage spoons!

A flattened spoon, a few rivets, bits of leather and wow!

We added two snaps so you can adjust the cuff to fit your wrist.
These will be available to purchase soon!

Rethink, re-purpose, re-style....

vintage jewelry for the bride & her party...

Tomorrow is the big day! Our first Bridal Bazaar!  We've covered the dress form with sheet music, painted cinderella's coach chippy white, made t-shirts (with a minor spelling error!) and made lots of vintage jewelry for the brides of San Diego!  Take a peek...

vintage spoons with restyled earrings and buttons

a link from a belt & a button make a fabulous bracelet

                                       buttons & earrings make blingy bracelets & cocktail rings!

We are very near the wedding cakes! They look just like Cake Boss or DC Cupcakes and we get to sample them all!  Can't wait.
