Slowly Unpacking & Organizing

I'm slowly unpacking and organizing from my trip to Detroit and super shopping. Tomorrow (Nov. 12) I'll be uploading to Shop 66 some very cool vintage finds as well as kitschey Christmas elves and ornaments. Some will be as low as $1.00 each. I'll be making an extra effort to list as many things as I can for the Christmas holiday season for the next two weeks. Be sure to visit my site daily.

If there is anything in particular you are interested in please feel free to contact me through my Etsy site.

So much!

What a super long week and road trip back home - especially when you stop at antique malls every hour - thank you Garmin! Look for a new post from me later this coming weekend. There's so many new things I have to share and upload on Shop 66!

I love this new little giraffe that came in the mail while I was away! He was just waiting for me to come home and be added to my collection.

Michigan Doll Show!

One of my favorite things is to attend a doll show. It's a little surreal and very intense but well worth it. This year I was fortunate to be in Michigan the week of the semi-annual "Doll Show Productions" Doll Show and Sale. I left with three full bags of vintage dollies, toys and plush.

It was a very, very good day.

My Treasures!

Well the reunion of me and my treasures has begun! So far I've found a lot of things I was looking for including a whole box of vintage patterns, my antique dolls, and most of my art book collection but not my owl collection!! Fortunately I still have another day to look. Though it was only over a year ago I packed for my move to South Carolina and stored all these things, it feels like forever. My daughter was drooling a little over a couple of my sock monkeys and a crocheted cat-in-the-hat...sorry sweetie - you're not getting these babies!

Handmade Made For Me!

I lust over handmade stuff I've asked artists to make especially for me. Here's just a few things I've commissioned this past month:

Custom Friendly Letter Monsters: Big G and little g by The Whimsy Patch .

I had these made because my boyfriend and I have names that start with a G. He's Big G and I'm little g.

Custom Hoodies by Aorta

I love everything by Aorta but garments go fast...so I had these two hoodies made.

The first one is Deer with a Stache - this was a brand new design - I am the first to get one! The second is Bunny Girl - this commemorates my early childhood when I wore a handmade bunny suit and sang a little song to introduce my family's traveling puppet show (that's another story...).
