Went to
SOWA Market today with my fabulous artist artists
Gina Perry and
Vita Mechachonis. I've been to SOWA so many times yet I have actually NEVER visited EVERY part of the market in one day (Open Art Market, Antique Market, Farmers' Market and Food Trucks@SOWA). Well today I (
WE!) finally did. I'll sprinkle posts about three of them, over my next few blog posts. (No Farmer's Market pics happened, sorry!) First up is the Antique Market. :D
Door knobs. I've lived in old houses for most of my life, and vintage door knobs have just creeped into the big pile of disorganized inspirations in my brain. Not unlike this big pile of disorganized door knobs.
Ah I love old novelty travel souvenir postcards! Cute packages of 'em.
Always love these old printed frosted glass drinking glasses. How neat are these with the line art, lettering and map art. (Bonus anchors, and these are right on trend!)
Hello, creepy bartender man!
Mannequin figure with lots of costume jewelry. Love the look!
OH GLOBES! How I love globes. Globes globes globes. Wish there were more. (But then, I probably should be glad there wasn't!)
Pile of random stuff... Except for the metal bunny-rabbit-and-chick egg. That is NOT random at all.
Old glass bottles!
Do you find clowns creepy? I do sometimes, and sometimes I don't. But I am fascinated by the whole clown-phobia thing. Which makes them all the more curious of a subject.
I am kookoo for vintage postcards. I used to collect them, not officially. I just sort of acquired a lot of them over time. Since I have never repurposed them, and I'm now really into not acquiring stuff that doesn't scream at me loudly, I was easily able to resist these... Until I dug into the stack.
...and then they just got a little harder to resist. (I still resisted though. For today.)
Hi all!
I made a short video to share with you what's been going on lately! Clocks in at about 3:45. This is Part 1. There is Part 2, which I'll have for you SOON! It will have a few fun surprises so I look forward to sharing that with you as well.. Enjoy!
NOTES....
They did me so proud in all pf the packaging, including a bio card with each pass case....
...AND, Check out the exclamation point!
I am an exclamation-point over-user, so I'm a little extra-thrilled with my exclamation point! :D
These hang-tags are to die for! (And the back of each doggie pass has my copyright and name on it, too. Pretty cool!)
So proud of these adorable little pass cases... and of my partnership with Bestever Japan.
Can't wait to share what is next!
You can get your very own pass case from my collection with Bestever

Hugs!!

I PROMISE.
Change is in the air! Can you feel it? Can you smell it?
(It smells like big cabbage roses and oranges to me!) And it will be happening very, very soon.
I have been hard at work on something... sometimes I have been a little silent... well, this is why.
What is it, you ask? I will give you a hint.
All-in-one. All-inclusive. "One-stop-shopping", so to speak. A *world*
(oooh that was a hint) that is cohesive, complete, and... so many other things. Yes. I'm super excited.
Life is a work in progress and everything is a work in progress. So I guess I feel right at home about where I am in the process...
Can't wait... Soon!
holy flip! They are so cute :)
Oh thanks so much Megan!! :D They have that awesome plastic smell too that I remember from childhood! Hee hee! It's very special actually!! Happy in many ways!! :D
These are so cute! Congratulations on your new collection.
