rummage sale today!

i will be peddling my vintage/personal wares today at bottletree in birmingham for their rummage sale! i have a little bit of everything, so come out and see me! i have tons more for sale, but knew i wouldn't be able to handle bringing all of it.

dance party tonight. you in?

ladyfest

ladyfest was today in tuscaloosa.  there wasn't a very big crowd at all, but i had fun and am hoping next year is even better!  i sold a couple things, but ended up selling all of my bubble magnets, fortune cookies, and felt keychains to jamie at grace aberdean!  i will be making more stuff in the next couple weeks to sell in her shop.

go by and see her store.  it's called grace aberdean habitat alchemy and it's on 9th street in tuscaloosa. it is by far the most interesting, well designed, reasonable store i have seen in years.  it truly is a diamond in the rough.  i can't say enough good things.  jamie, the store owner, is such a wonderful person and has an eye for unique and beautiful things.

 earrings and fortune cookies

 i'm glad i used this tablecloth!  PERFECT for spring!

 magnets, crayons, flower pens

 suitcase full of handmade envelopes and gift tags

 this is a jar of phenomenal mixed matched jewelry.  you have no idea i happy i am about this.  i have been dancing since i got home! you know that means i'm excited about something...

 swoon. 

bottletree yard sale

saturday april 23rd there will be a fabulous yard sale at bottletree, here in birmingham.  i hear there will be at least 15 vendors!  this means i have to stay away from other folk's tables or i will end up taking home more than i am selling.

i will have several vintage items.  i would add photos, but the whole fun of a yard sale is not knowing what you will find!  i won't have tons of stuff, of course, because there is limited space, but this is really the only place i can sell some of my better stuff.  if there is anything specific you are looking for, leave a comment, maybe i have a similar item and we can work something out!

also, there is a solid gold dance party there that night!  i have been to the last 3 and let me tell you, if you like a good dance party that isn't over crowded, then this is for you.  i need to find a sparkly outfit...

here is the flyer for the sale!

today's finds...

so i didn't find as many good yard sales today.  if i drive by and you only have a couple tables out, i'm going to keep going. yes, i'm a snob. i can't help it.  it comes after years of experience, i assure you. :)  i  happened to find two really fabulous sales. here are a few things i found.  if you are interested, some of them may be for sale at my table at the bottletree yard sale, april 23rd!

 i have been desperately needing an earring stand...

 finally a laptop bag that is durable, well made, and cute!

 mappity maps. i can't wait to turn these into awesome things. 

 and my collection grows...

owl. 

dcaf

druid city arts festival last weekend was a major success.  did i sell as much as i wanted to?  no, of course not, but i did sell a lot and gave out tons of business cards.  i have been so exhausted and burn out after the show i haven't done any crafting since.  i have been trying to focus on my neglected housework, but my attention span is extremely small... so here are a few photos from the sale.  enjoy!

 barrettes!

 my booth changed looks often throughout the day.

 envelopes and post cards (all handmade by me)

 giant crayons!

  more giant crayons

 earrings and necklaces

 felty things

 what will your fortune say?

 magnets!

 more magnets....

 everyone needs a mustache

 pins

 a few of my scarves. you can't really see the paper garlands very well. note: do not display paper garlands outdoors. 

 more stuff...

 homemade gift tags

today was an epic win for yard sale finds!  i went to my friend lindsey's house first and let me just say, we have very similar taste, so of course i bought tons of great things.  she gave me a tour of her new place and it is amazing!  i am thinking of looking to buy a house in that neighborhood i think.  i digress... i had a blast driving around birmingham and the surrounding areas looking for random yard sales today.  i was not disappointed.  i am including a few of my finds.  i don't have enough time today to take photos of everything, but here are a few gems.  enjoy!

 of course i needed these little guys...

this photo does not do this sculpture justice

 of course i had to have this. now to find something that shade of blue...

 i love green. 

 since i can't seem to find a real hutch like my grandmother had, i had to have this one for my kitchen wall.  

 perfect for my new craft table!

 enough said. 

 my new vase for my front stoop. can't wait to find some awesome fake flowers to go in it.
