Minneapolis fashion blogger features a vintage dress from dainty daisies!

2012-02-28T13:00:00.007-05:00

I was so excited yesterday when I received a notification thru Twitter that I was tagged in a post to this cute blog.. www.rubygirlblog.com

Minneapolis fashion blogger Lindsey Herzog had stopped by my shop at our grand opening celebration & asked if she could feature one of the 3 dresses she purchased (which all looked adorable on her). I am soo excited to share her blog with you!

Thank you Lindsey for the wonderful write up of dainty daisies on your blog! xo!

Go & check out her blog at www.rubygirlblog.com! Weather permitting craft night is still on for (tomorrow)Wednesday night from 4-7pm! We will be making decoupage tile coasters for $5 ea. while supplies last & first come first serve!

Have a great day! (Shop hours are 10-6 today!)

What I am wearing.. my new lemon yellow skirt & red lipstick!

2012-02-27T15:47:00.010-05:00

Happy Monday everyone!

I thought it would be fun to do a what I am wearing post. I received a few compliments on my outfit today & I get asked all the time about my style! It's truly flattering.. I have kind of always been an odd duck! Lol! I never have really dressed like anyone else! ;)

Here is what I am wearing today..

I just bought this cute lemon yellow high waisted pencil skirt at Anthropologie in Madison. My top is a thrifted Lands End 3/4 sleeve tee that I have had forever, boots target & tights Anthropologie. I don't wear much makeup but I do LOVE red lipstick & I treated myself to a new red lipstick, it's "red revival" by Maybelline & I love it!

I love mixing colors & patterns. Yes.. I have been known to not match my clothes! ;)

I think adding a bright colored skirt, top or even scarf is a great way to brighten up your winter wardrobe!

The shop is open 10-6 today! This is the last week for winter goods then onto spring! I just hope that the weather cooperates!

Wednesday night is craft night from 4-7pm. Come & make decoupage tile coasters with us! $5 per coaster!

Have a great day! xo!

Oh Friday!!

2012-02-24T11:41:00.002-05:00

Happy Friday everyone! On a not so happy note I am having some car issues & will be closing the shop at 5:00 today so I can pick up my car (hopefully this will be the last of car issues for awhile.. fingers crossed)!

Today all vintage clothing & shoes are 30% off! I will slowly be adding spring inventory handmade & vintage!

Words to live by...

(photos via pinterest)

The last month & a half has been a bit of a challenge for me, while I am sooo thankful for my new shop & all the new people that have popped into my life. I feel so blessed!
The truth is I am a newly single Mom of 2 that works all the time & is passionate about everything I do. I am struggling to find my way in the world right now & at 36 I am starting over.
I try to keep this blog mostly business(shop)orientated but sometimes I think it's important to share my struggles!
My look on life has changed! I am so thankful for my friends who make me laugh & let me vent when needed... I am so thankful for my two AMAZING kids, really you have no idea how strong they are & most days are telling me that everything is going to be ok at 8 & 12 yrs of age.
I don't have the answers to everything, I can be a bit short tempered, take things too personally.. but my goal is to be a positive,self confindent, hardworking single Mom of 2 & a rolemodel to anyone that wants to make their dreams come true! Believe me THEY will come true if you put your heart & soul into it.

This is me right now... xo!

Happy Valentines day!! Here's a little DIY for you! xoxo!

2012-02-14T10:37:00.004-05:00

Happy Valentine's day everyone!! I think I have mentioned before (haha) that I looove Valentine's day.. I love all things pink, red & hearts! What is not to love?

I saw this little diy on Pinterest awhile ago & I knew I had to find the perfect dress to alter! My bff & I were out thrifting on Sunday when I found this ADORABLE dress. It started it's life long... but I shortened it, cut out the heart in the bodice & stitched a simple stitch to keep it from fraying. You can use fray check too.. but I wanted mine to look a little raw at the edges!

I loooove the way it turned out!

I also am sporting one of my glass glitter pink heart hair pins, which I have at my shop & are 30% off today!!

The shop is open til' 8:30pm tonight for the 9th annual Death by Chocolate event in downtown Appleton! We have a voting box so stop on down & cast your votes! All Valentines accessories are 30% off today including heart soaps!

p.s. If you need further directions for the diy, the original post can be found on www.shopruche.com (click on the blog link)

Have a great day!!! xoxo!

Sneak peek ... Men's vintage!

2012-01-11T22:06:00.003-05:00

I have been spending alot of time at my new shop getting it all ready for the opening.. Tuesday January 17th. My very large 21 ft. sign is being installed on Monday which delayed my opening by a day!

I thought I would share a little peek at the Men's vintage section at my shop! I have already moved some things around.. so it looks a little different. ;)

Here is a peek at my front window.. this is just one side that says "vintage for him & her" I am soooo excited to have more vintage in the shop!
I worked most of the day adding colored pom poms & felt hearts so I will have to share a updated picture soon!

Happy New year everyone! I hope 2012 is off to a good start for you.. so far it has been a busy one for me with the shop move.

Here is a before pic. of (part of) the new space ..

& here is an after of the front room (which is a light pink). I painted the classroom white(which is the striped room in the above pic.)..it looks great! I am off today to touch up paint.. vaccuum & get ready to move all the inventory.
I have had a few sign issues but other then that we are aiming for January 16th for an opening date & our first craft night in the new space as well shortly there after!

Stay tuned for more updates & pics!

Happy Friday!!! xoxo!

Merry Christmas & Thank you Oshkosh!!!

2011-12-24T11:31:00.005-05:00

Today is the very last day my shop will be open & quite honestly it is pretty quiet downtown. I am closing up at noon .. heading home to bake cookies with my kiddos & make a few last minute gifts!

I just want to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of my Oshkosh customers & customers from all over that have traveled to see me! I am excited for the big move.. & honestly you all made it possible by continuing to support my small business! I appreciate every single person who has walked thru my door the last 4 years! Oshkosh you have been pretty darn good to me.. a girl from a small town in Wisconsin with no local connections starting from scratch, living out my dream! ;)

I also had to plug my friend Courtney of Tizzy Dee... who is pretty amazing herself! She dropped off a few new headbands yesterday & I had to keep this one after trying it on! ;) She will have lots of new goodies at the new shop!

Here is what is waiting for me in Appleton. I start moving next week.. there is lots of painting to be done.. a sign to go up & lots of new inventory! I will be blogging regulary to share the experience of course! The opening date is scheduled for
Jan. 16th. but is not set in stone yet so stay tuned!

I wish you all a VERY Merry Christmas & Happy New year! I will see you in downtown Appleton soon!!!

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!! xoxo!

Tis' the season to sparkle!

2011-12-20T23:15:00.002-05:00

This is the last week my shop will be open in Oshkosh! I have been working like crazy on new inventory for my new shop as well as the planning & designing of the new space. I just approved my sign for the new shop & OMG I can NOT wait to show you guys! It is HUGE!! We are putting a big sign in galvanized metal on the building & then vinyl on the windows! It looks so good!

I am opening the shop up tomorrow (Wednesday) because it is the last week to shop at my Oshkosh store & Christmas is 4 days away! YIKES!

Keep in mind New Years is right around the corner & I think Christmas as well as New years is the perfect reason to sparkle!

My glitter star headbands & hair pins would be perfect for the holidays!

I have these pretties listed on etsy as well.. the link to my shop is on the right hand side!

I also just recently listed the large glitter star as well!

Shop hours this week are Wed. 11-5, Thur. 11-5, Fri. 11-6 & Sat. 10-3 (Our last day open is Christmas eve. I am hoping to open the new downtown Appleton shop Jan. 16th but that will be determined! ;) Stay tuned!!

(& incase you have not heard we are moving to 227 E. College ave. downtown Appleton, 2 doors down from Harmony cafe!)

Happy Holidays!!

My Christmas wishlist....

2011-12-16T10:12:00.004-05:00

I thought it would be fun to share a few of the things on my Christmas wish list!

I love the infinity scarves by BailyBelle like this one with snaps! (ok confession I own this one.. but I would love another!!) I also sell some of Vanessa's scarves at my shop if you would like to pick one up as a gift!

I don't know what it is about this skirt from Urban Outfitters but I have been drooling over it for awhile now! ;)

& I think Santa may have gotten this sweet lil' bird ornament for me from one of my favorite artists Skunkboy Creatures! I own many of Katie's creatures & they are just adorable!

I have been collecting mushroom ornaments for a few years now to hopefully have my tree look like this one someday, I could always use a few more!

I own this cd & I love the kitschy vintage vibe! I really want it on vinyl so I can listen to it on my Grandpop's vintage record player (which I inherited last year!)

I am open at my shop today from 11-6 & 10-2 tomorrow! There are only 5 business/shopping days left at the Oshkosh store! I have lots of great handmade affordable gifts! We have gift certificates as well in any dollar amount!

Happy Holidays!! xoxo!

New shop inspiration... via pinterest!

2011-12-14T17:49:00.003-05:00

I have been sooo busy planning out my move in the next few weeks! I really want the new shop to be PERFECT! :)

Here are a few things I have found for my new shop inspiration via Pinterest! I am soooo excited.. the anticipation is killing me!!!

I am working with Art City signs on wrapping the back of some old book shelves that I have with a vintage inspired wallpaper print to look something like this..

I am hoping to have some fun banners like this throughout the shop. My interior colors of the shop will be pale pink on the walls, mustard & olive accents!

I bought a lamp like this somewhat that I want to add to the class room! The one I bought was for Christmas so it twinkles! I love it!!

This picture I am using for wall color inspiration.. the pale pink which I pulled from my sign will be the overall wall color with mustard & olive accents! The new shop will have lots of vintage kitsch & I think this color combo is perfect!

My husband has said he would help me add scalloped edges to a few of the vintage shelves I have bought to give them a new look! I looove this look!

Only 6 days left at my Oshkosh shop then I have to move out! Here are the shop hours..

Thursday & Friday 11-6, Saturday 10-2
Christmas eve 10-3.

I have lots of new fabric to wash for new wrap skirts & lots of new vintage to organize... inlcuding MENS!! I will have a mens section at the new shop! Hurray!

Have a great day! I have to get back to work!!
xo!

Happy Friday everyone! Today is the last day for the 2 for $30 Fancy headband sale! The shop is open 11-6 today & 10-2 Saturday.

I also am running a few little sales.. all glass ornaments are 2 for $8. now until Christmas even & my new snowflake wax melts are 2 for $8 (reg. $5. each) They make great gifts! My personal favorite is the gingerbread! I have been melting that one each night in my little warmer & it makes my house smell sooooo yummy!

There are two of the same scent in each package.

My son Max had his Holiday concert & the kiddos were all dressed up so I took some pics of them for our Christmas cards! I looooove this one with Dexter! ;) He is getting sooo stocky!

p.s. I have decided I really REALLY need some time to work on (sewing) inventory for my new shop so I will have limited hours now until Our last day open in Oshkosh on Christmas eve!
Starting next week the shop will be open Thur. 11-6, Fri. 11-6 & Sat. 10-2

Small business Saturday!

2011-11-26T11:03:00.003-05:00

Today is small business Saturday! Please shop local & support your locally owned businesses! I don't think anyone is really happy with the economy right now & one way to change that is to spend your money at Mom & Pop shops! We are tax payers, We have kids in our schools, we own homes & most of all we spend the money we make in our community, all of those things make our economy grow!

Locally owned businesses don't have corporate offices to deal with, we are it, we go out of our way to give you excellent customer service & most of the time we know your name & want to build a relationship.. not just take your money!
I know I feel sooo lucky to have a growing business in a tough economy! I am sooo thankful for all of my customers wether you have been in my shop 100 times or just once! :)

Thank you all for supporting small businesses like mine! My shop is open 10-3 today!! Have a great day! xo!

Here are a few sneak peeks..

I am smitten over her wreaths!! :)

Stop on by Saturday & check out all of Stef's creations as well as get a start on your holiday shopping!

Shop hours are 11-5 today!
xo!

My soon to be new shop!!!

2011-11-02T16:41:00.006-04:00

You may have noooo idea what I am talking about unless you follow me on Facebook or Twitter! Yes.. you heard me right! This is my new shop space as of the 1st of the year! I am soooo excited dainty daisies is relocating to downtown Appleton (227 E. College ave.)! I hope to open the new shop mid January to early February! I will keep my current shop open until the end of December! I have lots of pretty accessories for the holidays as well as vintage!

I think one of the things I am most excited about is the new shop has a classroom, I will be hosting regular craft nights, classes, trunk shows & you can rent the space for crafty birthday parties! I am also hoping to add more vintage & menswear! I can't wait to get in the space & make it my own. The current occupants of the Bead garden are two super sweet women that have been sooo nice to me! It is really good vibes all around & I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason! To all of you that say well you sure do move alot. You have to move, make changes to grow as a business, you also have to take risks to figure out what is going to work & people get bored if you don't change. ;) I like to keep people on their toes! I really hope to make this new space a permanent home so hopefully that will mean no moving around for a long time.

I have lots of ideas so stay tuned!!
xo!

New feather ornaments w/ a little but of (fake) snow for good measure!It was really hard to get a pic. with the glare, so you will just have to stop in to see how cute they really are! ;) These are soo adorable & yes I guess I am on board with the feather goods now that I have made a few things that reflect my style.

& speaking of feathers these are so fun.. they are on a base that works as a hair clip or brooch! I love the way these turned out!

I loooove this headband! It is sooo pretty & would be the perfect accent to any holiday attire!

I also made some yummy YUMMY smelling wax melts in the shapes of trees for those wax warmers that are pretty popular right now! I have them available in sets of 5.They make GREAT gifts! There is Candy Cane, Cappuccino Hazelnut, Banana Nut & Gingerbread! I also made a few new tin scents as well as put a few of the older scents on sale for $4. while they last!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of being part of the creative connection event marketplace in St. Paul Mn.! I was asked to join my good friend Naomi of The glitter workshop & our friend Andrea of Space oddities.

This is our booth! :) The event was AMAZING!!! I made some unbelieveable contacts & I can't wait to see what comes of it! I came back feeling so inspired & confident! I REALLY do love what I do! It was a firm affirmation that even through the tough times I need to keep on going!

Thank you to everyone who attended & bought our wares! I think our booth was truly magical!

The energy & support from many of the other crafters, artists & designers there was sooo AWESOME!

I made many new friends & saw some old ones too! Madison was well represented.. our booth neighbor Molly from Whimsy House was right next door(she used to consign at my old shop), as well as Alison from Artsy Fartsy & the lovely ladies at Anthology!

We had quite an adventure getting there.. but all in all we made it safe & sound! We had so much fun & I can't wait til' next year!

Trailer LOVE inspiration

2011-08-30T12:27:00.005-04:00

I have pinning lots of pictures on pinterest, looking for inspiration for my vintage trailer soon to be mobile boutique!

Here are a few I love...

ADORABLE cupcake shop!

I love the colors & the outdoor set up! The blow up pool...soo CUTE!

a few cute displays that are inside a mobile boutique...

& the vintage wallpaper on this shelving unit! *SWOON*

I love the canopy on this trailer. Mine has a roll out canopy & I am pretty sure that is what sold me on it! LOVE!

It is going to be REALLY hard to wait until spring to start renovating.. but in reality my holiday shows will be starting soon (which will keep me really busy) & I want to do it right, so for now I am gathering lots of inspiration & doing some research!

Have a great day! xo!

My new to me (1974 prowler) vintage camper!!

2011-08-29T13:46:00.007-04:00

Happy Monday everyone!! I bought this camper on Sunday!!! Here is the story.. I was sitting home late Saturday evening checking out vintage campers on Craig's list & came across this one! The listing was too good to be true & it was too late at night to call on it!
I couldn't stop looking at it & the price was sooo reasonable! I slept on it, asked my husband to call in the morning & at that point realized that the seller had lowered the price by $150. so now it was an even better deal!

We (My Dad, husband & I)met up with the seller in Spring Green which is about 30 min. from my parents house & bought it! It is perfect!!!!

I have big plans to remodel it into a mobile shop for dainty daisies & daisy LOVE vintage! The camper even has a fitting room.. they gutted the bathroom made it into the closet & it makes a perfect fitting room. It has new tires, new roof & a canopy, cute pop up windows as well as a flag pole! Really.. COULD IT BE ANYMORE PERFECT?? :)
p.s. if you have been following my blog for awhile. I have been dreaming about this for a few months!

There is one problem.. I can't get it in my back yard so it will stay at my parents until spring when I plan to work on it & find a home for it!

I am soooo sooo excited! I plan on changing the inside & out .. it will be soo cute when I am done. I have been gathering ideas for awhile now! I will keep you guys posted through the entire project! * I am smiling ear to ear!* ;) I think it will be super fun to see it transform over time!

Happy Monday!! :)

I found this adorable vintage 70s top & skirt set awhile ago! It is so perfect for back to school! ($30 for the set at my shop)

Calling all artist/crafters!! There is still time to apply..

2011-08-23T13:49:00.005-04:00

There is still time to apply to the 2nd annual Handmade for the Holidays urban craft fair! For details check out my website at wwww.daintydaisies.com

I have been getting in lots of great applications! I am soo excited.. but there is still time to apply. The deadline is August 31st.

on a side note.. I spent the day yesterday in the Dells with my family. We went to Mt Olympus, road rollercoasters, go karts & spent some time in the wave pool. It was a great day to get away one last time before my kids start school. I even picked up a new pair of moccassins st one of the shops on the strip.

& Sunday I hit up a few thrift stores..I have lots of great stuff to add to my vintage shop on etsy as well as my b&m shop!

Have a great day! p.s Craft night is tomorrow night 4-7pm.

Craft night this Wednesday 4-7pm .. Coasters!

2011-08-21T21:49:00.002-04:00

This Wednesday is Craft night at my shop from 4-7 pm. It is a first come first serve until supplies run out type of thing. ;) We will be making decopage tile coasters! I have lots of fun papers available & some vintage story book pages as well. You are welcome to bring your own photo copied pictures but be sure they are not ink jet printed.. the directions say that ink jet photos smear.

There is a limit of 4 per person while supplies last. I have lots though so we should be good. They cost is $5. per coaster. You will need to let these dry & this project will require you to give it a clear coat at home to water proof. Most finishing sprays are really cheap.. although they may be fine with just the modge podge finish.

I hope you can make it! The pic above is a sample pic off of the craft website where I found the tutorial & guess what.. I have that nesting doll paper available! ;)

See you Wednesday!!!
xo!

Vintage Friday... vintage inspired fabric headbands!

2011-08-19T14:36:00.007-04:00

Wow! It has been such a loong week! I have had soo many ideas in my head & I am feeling very inspired by the upcoming Fall season, (It can't get here fast enough) crisp Fall mornings, cooler temps, layering... yes please!

Here are a few new things I have been working on.. I really love the turban look, but honestly it is not for everyone so I have had a Rosie the riveter type headband idea for awhile. I actually used a piece left over from a wrap skirt tie to make the first one... then I just could'nt stop making them.

You can wear them to get the Rosie look when tied in the front.. but they also can be tied in the back for a traditional fabric headband look. I used mostly vintage fabrics in this set.

(Rosie the riveter photo)

I started a few new Fall accesories. I love how these headbands turned out. I used some vintage plastic flowers & leaves. There are only a few.. so they are defintly limited edition.

and here is a vintage what I wore pic.Sorry for the somewhat blurry pics. I have to fight against the sun in the mornings at my shop & I am not totally used to my new camera yet.

fancy felt bow headband.. made by me available at my shop $10 ea.
top .. I think Areopostle (believe it or not! Lol!)
skirt..vintage red & white polk a dot that I thrifted a few years ago
sandals.. Salt Water sandals! Love love LOVE them!!

I will be at the Appleton market tomorrow (fingers crossed the rains stays away!) My shop is open til 5:00 today!

Have a great weekend! xoxo!

p.s. craft night info. is up on my website. I will try & blog about it maybe Sunday or Monday!

Meet my consigners... Midwest girl soap!

2011-08-17T12:52:00.007-04:00

Meet one of my consigners.. Midwest Girl Soap! Many of you may remember Misha formerly of Sweet Usoapia.. She has been making & selling her soaps since 1996. Misha opened up many doors for me waaay back in the summer of 2006 we became friends as she stopped by my booth at the Oshkosh market & asked me to sell at her shop at the time (which is the location my shop is in now)! We quickly became friends & then shortly there after moved into a joint space at my old shop. It has been a quite a journey bringing me full circle to really one of the first spaces I sold at (the location that my shop is at now 219 Market st.).. & I am now selling Misha's soaps here again! ;)

Misha makes the most AMAZING soap. We have several scents available.. lavendar, Bay rum, lemongrass, sweetgrass, jasmine, bar none (an unscented bar for sensitive skin) and many more.

She also makes AMAZING sugar scrubs!

and wool felted soap.. handmade soap in wrapped in hand dyed wool felt. The felt acts like a scrubby when it is wet.

Stop by & check out our wonderful handcrafted soaps!! I love her soaps.. that is all we use in my household! Misha is also my featured artist for Sept. gallery walk! SAVE THE DATE!!

Have a great day! xo!

P.S. My website has been update with craft night info & new Fall hours!

I love vintage & alot of people don't really know how to wear it. One of the things I looove most about vintage clothing.. is that vintage clothing is so well made, very unique & chances are you won't see anyone wearing the exact same outfit! ;)

What I am wearing...
Top....appliqued vintage top by Brillian Stranger
Skirt... thrifted vintage denim wrap skirt
shoes.. Salt water sandals
(I have had for a few years.. go get a pair if you don't have any! They are my favorite shoes EVER! So comftorable & durable.)

Have a great day! xoxo!!

2011-08-08T21:49:00.006-04:00

Soooo it has been over ten years since I have had my eyes checked & purchased my last pair of glasses (whoops!) I have noticed lately that it is getting harder & harder for me to thread a needle.. in my line of work that is a little important! ;)

I have been on pinterest looking for some vintage inspired eye glasses so I can get some new glasses soon!

I seem to be drawn to nerd glasses!

& I love this style as well as the color options...

I really love these.. but cat eye glasses never look good on me!

We will see! Today has been a day of laundry, one sick kiddo & cleaning my house after a busy weekend!

Happy Wednesday everyone! It is a beautiful day today.. Live at Lunch is today in opera House square.. come on downtown enjoy some live music & support our downtown!!

There are two sizes to the flower brooches & I really love them both! ;)

3 ways to wear Vintage scarves!

2011-07-28T12:07:00.002-04:00

I love wearing vintage scarves! I thought it would be fun to share some vintage DIY's with you on my blog. Here is one that I have shared before. I Love vintage scarves, not only are they super pretty.. I have yet to ever find two alike & they are usually very affordable.

I have several for sale at my shop AT ONLY $6 ea. Did you know that we carry hand selected vintage clothing & accessories! It is one of my FAVORITE things about my new shop. I love vintage as much as I love handmade.

I am wearing a vintage scarf in my hair today, just tie it in a not on the top of your head & tuck in the sides.. super easy & very stylish. It looks great with short hair, long hair or great for when you are growing your hair out like me!

I have a few longer scarves that would be so cute for the upcoming Fall season tied around your neck like an ascot tie or layer a few like shown below...

& if you can find one that fits your body right try wearing one as a belt over a vintage dress. Soooo cute!

I have lots of pretty scarves available in my shop! My shop hours today are 11-5! I have sooo many new things.. stop on by! :)

p.s. there is a giveaway below! Don't forget to leave your comments for a chance to win a pretty vintage clutch filled with handmade goodness!

Have a great day! xo!

New pocket skirts!

I am sooo excited about this new skirt style! I made up 6 for my shop & of course made myself one that I am wearing today!

They are an Aline cut mostly out of vintage fabrics, adjustable elastic waist band. The first batch I made is small/Mediums but I will be making a Med/large as well.

I also added cute raw edge front pockets. I looove them!

Here are a few pics. of me in my skirt. I used a vintage sheet for the base of my skirt.

I love the way all the fabrics are mismatched! LOVE! The best part is... they are only $21.00!! Yay!

What I am wearing..
Vintage top.. fine & dandy vintage
pocket skirt.. dainty daisies orignal
shoes.. salt water sandals

a little bit of this & that...

2011-07-26T15:02:00.004-04:00

Well I had a different type of blog post for today.. but um blogger doesn't want to upload anymore pics I guess!

I had a busy..busy weekend, first the Appleton market (Appleton was spared the rain on saturday morning & it turned out to be a beautiful morning) then I was at the Summer Craftacular in Madison selling my wares. Thank you to everyone for showing dainty daisies so much LOVE this weekend!

I stayed at my parents house Sunday night in Sauk Prairie where I grew up & I got to do a little thrifting the next day with my older sister.

I got this ADORABLE owl clock.. which YES is hanging in my dining room right now!

& this vinyl.. actually I bought quite a few, Blondie, the BEST of zz top, Elton John, & a few others! My gosh how did I live without this??? I could listen to Stevie Wonder all day.. well actually I have been! ;) I think the best part is it was $4. & it is like new!

I also bought lots of vintage clothing, some vintage shoes, dishes & a vintage typewriter that will be heading to my shop soon!

I will have some sneek peaks when blogger decides to cooperate! ;)

Have a great day! xo!
