scenes from the shop

sorry for the lack of blog posts this week!  We've been busy buying, and sewing and mending, and planning and plotting... you know, all the usual time consuming things. But this morning we wandered around the shop and took a few photos for Facebook so we thought we'd share them here as well.  These are the things we hang out with everyday... not too shabby, I suppose.

 

Isn't our homemade open flag fun?  We were going to just buy one, but we decided nothing else we have is really normal or standard, so why should our open flag be like that? Handmade it is! D.I.Y. til you D.I.E. ya know what I mean?

And now we've gotta go get ready to hang out at the Flea for All tonight.  They're doing a big ole event with food trucks and vendors and lots of fun stuff.  Hanging out on a Friday night with vintage and food?  Again... not too darn shabby.

outfits of the flea

 Happy Sunday! What are you up to today? Superbowl time? We're really only looking forward to the Puppy Bowl, to be honest.  We'll be hanging out at the Flea for part of the day today... same as yesterday.  It's kind of our weekend gig.  

While we were hanging out yesterday, we took some photos of our outfits while we were strolling around shopping (yes, we totally shop while we're working. it's kind of hard not to there).

Caiti's duds:

she totally made that bow belt on Saturday morning before coming to Flea.  

she's pretty darn crafty.  Isn't it adorable? 

Jess's getup:

That dress was originally supposed to be for Lucille's, but... I tried it on and it was super comfy.. soo... to my closet it goes! Sorry, Lucille's... you snooze you lose! 

Have a good day!

Flea Fallin'

Last weekend, we had the incredible privilege of selling at the Portland Flea For All.  It's an amazing, brand new market in Portland and it's full of totally rad people selling lots of rad things.  There's vintage and antiques and TONS of handmade things.  Everyone there is great, and everyone who showed up to shop was great as well.  It seems like everyone is super excited to have a place like this to go to, because there really hasn't been anything like it in the area until now.  

We sold lots of great pieces to some totally stylish people, and got to socialize like crazy.  I've already told Erin (who runs this whole thing, along with her main man Nathaniel) that we plan on staying there until they physically remove us from the premises.  We're kind of in love.

Here's some shots of what our set up looked like for the weekend!

I think Caiti is laughing in this picture because two seconds before this she was making a downright strange face and giving a thumbs up.  I decided not to post that one.

doesn't that insane beaded bird shirt kind of blow your mind? maybe my favorite thing ever

a skirt, handmade by Caiti, in the world's most INSANE fabric that we adore

Next weekend, I plan on walking around and snapping photos of some other vendors and some of the stylish shoppers.  If you're around, you should stop by and visit us!  We'll be there every Saturday & Sunday from 10-5 from now until the apocalypse or until we get told to leave (whichever comes first).  See you there!

xoxo,

Jess
