Happy New Year!

These vintage New Year's photos are the best.  You can see the rest here.

Happy New Year!

Put it in the bag

Just put some new spring purses in the shop!  You can check them out here.  Isn't this last one fab?  One of my favorite people ever found that one for me.  It's a Dorset Fifth Avenue and it's beautiful!  

It's rainy and cold here in the midwest.  I'm chilled to the bone and can't seem to get warmed up.  Must be karma for putting my plants out too early!

Sneak peek for First Fridays!

If you are in, or close to the Kansas City area come down to The Bauer (in the crossroads art district) tomorrow night for the last Gyspy Market of the year.  Here is a very small sneak peek of some of the things I'm bringing.  Do some holiday shopping or some feel good shopping for yourself!  See you there!

Happy Thursday..xoxo, Amy

To market we go!

I had a great time last weekend at the Strawberry Swing Indie Market.  I ran into some old artsy friends from years ago and unloaded a ton of vintage suitcases.   It's fun to see the same faces at these markets years later.  It's encouraging too.  Sometimes I question what I am doing as far as the vintage and handmade and wonder if it's all worth it.  After this past weekend I'm thinking just might be (at least mentally).  It's more fun than sitting behind a desk for sure, but whether or not it's lucrative is another story.  

Last night I was thinking about when Jeremy was born and how I only worked 4 days a week.  Those 4 days I busted my behind and worked as hard as I could to get the job done and stay on the bosses good side.  I've tried working for myself before but have never been very successful at it.  I don't know why I work harder for others but I think I do.  Not sure if this time in my life is any different than before but I'm going to give it a go anyways.  At least for the next few months.

Below is inside of the barn at the Alexander Majors House where last weeks event was.  It's even rumored to be haunted!  I planned on being inside since it was the end of July.  Even paid more it.  It ended up being a beautiful 75 degrees in Kansas City.  I couldn't believe it.  

Tomorrow I'm headed down the Gypsy Market Royale in the West Bottoms.  It's from 12-5.  If you are coming be sure to plan ahead.  The 12th Street bridge is closed so you will need to watch for detours!  Here are some pics from last time I did it...a year ago!  So much fun and the other vendors are the bees knees.   

It's Friday and I need to get busy going through albums and getting my goodies together.  Peace and love, Amy

Two of my beautiful nieces and one of their friends came over the other night for a little impromptu photo shoot.  It was beyond fun and makes me realize I need to do this more often.  They are such fun girls and they make me feel so young.  It's so much better having real life models than a mannequin to show off my vintage goodies.  I've updated the shop a little and plan on doing more updates soon!  I've got tons of records to list in the record shop too.  

My hubs just told me it's going to be 70 tomorrow.  I love the midwest!  Not sure I'll be saying that next week when it's back down to the 30s.  xoxo, Amy

While I'm not necessarily ready for winter...I do love winter.  I don't think I could live anywhere  that didn't have the four seasons.   Here's some of my favorite winter white pieces from my shop.  I have a major update to get done and lots of things to list (don't I always say that?).  At least it's on my list of things to do. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!

xoxo,

Amy
