Cool Vintage Things on the Internet (CVTotI)

This week I have some rocking song book posters from the late 1800s to early 1900s. 

The Pintrest board is by a user named Robert Stead.

Aren't they cool! I love finding little treasures like this online!

Remember, if you find something cool that should be shared please sent me an email and I'll share it.

Thanks!

Day Project: Lining my beach purse

Good Tuesday one and all.

It's October and fall us among us. Though the weather is getting cooler, even for California, all I have been thinking of lately is Las Vegas. What? Yeah, Las Vegas. I've had my room booked for months now, and it will be my first time at Viva Las Vegas next year.

I've got a lot of outfits planned, but I decided to get started on some of the smaller things and one of them thus far fits into my MnM schedule.

MnM 2012: Pillow Cases for a shoddy Pillow

Happy Saturday one and all. 

I hope your week ending festivities are going well. I'm at home sewing all day and I have to say I love it. Granted, they are not projects I would WANT to do, but need to be done.

But before I hit the trails with some other non me projects, I wanted to get this one out of the way first.

Gearing up for weekend sewing.

Happy Friday everyone.

As the work week winds up, I will be gearing up for two days of side work sewing for other people. 

I have a new dress commission that I'm excited about. I also will be making a pattern from a pair of men's pants. THAT is going to be a treat. Plus I have tons of tailoring for other people. Whew!

Granted, not all of this will be done this weekend. 

Though, there is a personal project I do hope to squeeze in here and there. Some MnM items being one.I also finished all the piping for the two cushion that I'm having delivered next week. Man, that's a lot of piping.

This week I have a cool Flickr photo stream called Black History Heritage

Great images from all types and dynamics of Black History.

Take some time and flip through. There are some great images there. Thanks Black History Heritage!

Remember, if you all have some cool vintage related, of color, plus size, or fashion resources online, please let me know by sending me and email and I'll happily share the links.

Thanks!!

August Showcase!!

Happy October everyone!

Time for a recap of last month's goodies.

My main haul being my Royalchrome. For those who are sick of hearing about my love for this furniture, tough :)

Oh! Random cat picture!! Brasco has his own chair.

I got the chair together and put that in the living room. I ordered two cushions for it that I hope will be here by the end of the week, and I got out the rest of the fabric I had and got to piping.
