I have some exciting news to share! I will be participating in the latest temporary venue at Dallas Market Center this weekend with three of my most creative friends…Dana Pugh (Tattered Style), Gloria Burson (A Modern Glo) and Lisa Johnson (Cut and Paste). This creative temp show is called Vintage Home FINDS and you don’t want to miss what we have in store for you!
We will be showing under the name of my vintage line’s name, Stash {vintage finds} and you’ll find us in the North Hall, along with other vintage dealers and Trailer Cakes in their vintage airstream! We hope to provide interesting industrial pieces perfect for you to use as display in your store, as well as art to resale. We’ll be available to help you come up with one-of-a-kind display and styling to give your space a facelift for the new year! If a personal consultation is what you need, just ask, and we can arrange a visit to your retail space.
To make FINDS even more fun, all buyers are invited to participate in the “On The Road To FINDS Giveaway”! Participants can pick up FINDS “Road Maps” at information booths, Red Rooms and registrations areas to start on their journey though the Temp Show. To qualify, buyers must visit three different FINDS locations (one must be FINDS in Market Hall) and drop their completed forms at a FINDS information booth for a chance to win great prizes. Highlights of prizes include: a Stella Scooter; Kindle Fire Full Color 7” Multi-touch Display with Wi-Fi; Bose QuietComfort® 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones; Garmin 4.3” Portable GPS Navigator with lifetime map & traffic updates; Flip Video Camera; Sofia Cashmere Travel Set; Gift Certificate towards a luxury luggage set; Agloves, mobile device friendly gloves; and a “Build Your Own Road trip” including rental car, gas, restaurant gift certificates, and hotel expenses.
We can’t wait to share our finds with you! Please share this exciting information with your friends that have a retail store and may be coming to market this weekend! (Talk them into bringing you with them!)
We have your shopping bags ready to be packed with ‘Stash’!
Some of our favorite friends will be part of FINDS too! Bud Royer is bringing his pies, candles and latest hit, Royers recipe card box! Would this collection of over 100 of the cafe’s recipes make a nice addition to your inventory?
Our friends from Dwell With Dignity will camp out right next door to us! They’ll have a space full of donated goods that will be professionally styled much like we saw at last year’s Thrift Studio!
Will we see you there?

I define my style as somewhere between a ‘bad-ass’ motorcycle chick and a little vintage-laced sweet girl… I think that’s why I love these adorable boots that are a great mix of both worlds…

Do you find yourself somewhere in the middle when it comes to fashion and design? We live in a time where it’s cool to ‘mix and match’ as we please and live in an environment that is pleasing to our eye…no rules! I love it! I went to my Pinterest boards to reflect on the images that I have tagged as ‘my style’ and found that I really like to mix it up. Here’s what I found…
Farm table with tufted chairs…

Louis-style furniture with cow hides and boho bedding…

layers of jewelry with a tee…

casual jean foundation with a chic topper and fantastic bag…

The future’s so bright, you’ve got to wear shades! That’s the outlook I have for 2012! German artist, Nina Nolte’s series entitled The Best Is Yet To Come, that I just spotted on Luella & June, is the picture perfect representation of my feelings about turning the calendar year!
I’m moving into a new year that is full of changes and I couldn’t be more excited! I love that the women in this series are more mature (notice I didn’t say old…), glamorous, seem to be gazing at beautiful sights and are with their girlfriends…again, very representative of where I am. As I grow older, my friends become more and more important and enjoyable. I hope that some time this year I’ll be sitting in the sun with a my girlfriends planning the next adventure. I just hope that our jewels and scarves are as beautiful as these beauties!

Two days ago I received a neatly wrapped brown paper package in the mail. I noticed that my address was beautifully handwritten and there was a cute little Santa sticker off to the side with an artistically written, “Season’s Greetings”. When I saw that the return address belonged to the talented paper artist, Grace Barzyz, I knew that this package contained something very special. It was, in fact, the most creative and beautiful Christmas card I have ever received.
Grace repurposed a Kindle box to make this special gift, complete with Santa and her artistry’s signature at the bottom…
Inside this one-of-a-kind card revealed a sweet greeting and beautiful vintage card speckled with just the perfect amount of sparkle…
The tab of each side read “open” …
and inside I discovered amazing treasures, made by Grace, and tied with sweet red and white twine…
The first package contained two paper fortune cookies (made with Chinese newspaper, of course) holding a good fortune for the New Year. She thoughtfully included two…one for me and one to give to a friend…so thoughtful…
The other side contained a gorgeous Sacred Heart ornament that will always be displayed in a special place in my home. Grace’s work is made with perfection and this piece is spectacular!
I don’t think I have ever received such a thoughtful handmade gift. I wouldn’t expect anything less from this talented friend.
The next time you want to honor someone with a special greeting or thoughtful token of appreciation, allow Grace to create something that will be treasured forever. Her work is incredibly detailed and well thought out, and her creativity is unending! Contact her at alagrace@msn.com.
Thank you, Grace, for making me the most beautiful Christmas card ever! XO!
