I found this dress at the goodwill outlets and googled the description and found that this dress is a vintage crocheted Mexican wedding dress. I love the detail on this dress but would love to turn this into a summer sundress. I am not sure if I should attempt cutting this up or not. What do you think?

A friend of mine asked me to make her one of these necklaces using her grandmas vintage jewelry. It was so much fun to put together. Her grandma had great taste and there were too many pieces that I wanted to use.

I found this strand of red beads at the Goodwill and after finding the coat buttons with chains at the estate sale last weekend I decided to see what they would look like together.

This past weekend I visited an estate sale near our house. It was a huge barn filled with vintage goodies. I had my eye on a lot of different things but had to scale down a bit. This lady must have been a sewer because she had a plethora of vintage fabric. But I did not leave with any fabric because I already have too much and until I work my way through what I have, I wont be buying anymore.

I finished another recycled necklace. If you have ever worked with jewelry you know that you have to have the right tools to take apart or add to jewelry, believe me I tried with regular pliers and it did not work. So I bought a five piece set of small jewelry pliers that have been so nice to work with and made this process of jewelry making so much easier.

I am so excited because I finally finished one of my necklaces! This is one that I started about a month ago and never went back to until I got this huge lot of vintage jewelry from the shop down in Corvallis. It was so fun to put this necklace together. The bow was removed from an old prom dress and I just paired it with some vintage jewelry.

I have been so busy and I have a ton or projects that are half done and nothing I can share with you yet. With my daughters prom one week, then graduating from high school the next week and the last day of school for the year for my youngest tomorrow, I just haven't had time to finish anything.

I have been keeping a secret from you all…. I have been selling some of my stuff to a Consignment Shop in Corvallis, Oregon. Second Glance is the name and they have amazing and gently worn clothes. If you live in the area, please check them out. They have two shops, one for the more adult women and one for the younger ladies. My daughters loved both stores.

I had this vintage section of a quilt that was never finished and I never could figure out what I should do with it. I think sashes are the perfect summer accessory so I figured why not separate it into three sections to make a few sashes. I love how they turned out. You can't find fabric like that anymore.

I came across a huge box full of patterns at the thrift store the other day and found these beautiful patterns. I am not sure the age but I would think 50's and 60's. They are in a larger size but with a little adjustment I would be able to make them work for me.
