Shopping Show & Tell #3

As you may have heard, I'm opening an Etsy shop in July where I'll be listing various vintage inspiration kits, vintage supplies, and other vintage items.  In order to start this endevour, I've had to buy some things to include in the assortment packs.  While purchasing these items, I've met some really nice people with great online shops.

In this post, I just want to share some a few of these resources with you!!  I think everyone wants affordable craft supplies from reliable sellers, don't you agree?


Come July, I'll be offering vintage sewing inspiration kits packed full of fabric, trim, embellishments and more.  In order for me to put these packs together, I needed vintage fabric!!


I found Nikole's shop, Happy Notions, and decided she could probably put together a nice assortment for me.  I convo'ed her and she really went the extra mile to help!!  She ended up providing me with over 50 different patterns of reclaimed sheet fabric!!  Just check out the assortment she sent...



Here are a couple of the other items in her shop that I really like...






Next, I wanted some colorful items to add to my ephemera assortment packs.  I figured vintage wallpaper would be amazing, but new it was usually kind of pricey.  However, I really lucked out when I found Donna's shop, Under The Red Roof.

Donna was so generous and sent me a huge assortment of 8x10 wallpaper sheets and some scraps I'd asked for.  Although this picture doesn't do it justice, here's a photo of my order...


Here's a couple items you can find at Under The Red Roof...





I still wanted more colorful things to include so when I found  Chrystelle's listing for some bright vintage carnival tickets, I knew they'd be perfect!!

I placed a custom order for a large assortment of tickets and ended up getting over 400 carnival tickets!!  Here's a picture...


Here are a couple of my top picks from Chrystelle's shop...




These 3 shops are owned by wonderful ladies who are willing to go the extra mile to help you find what you need.  I've had great experiences with all of them and know you will too!!

I am not getting any form of compensation for mentioning these shops!!  I simply purchased items from each of them and was so pleased with their products and services that I wanted to share them with my readers.

Thanks for reading!! Until next time...

Supplies: Amazing Lace Supplier

During October, I was browsing ArtFire with no intentions of purchasing anything, but was having fun looking at various craft supply assortments.  I eventually came across 2 fabulous mix bags of lace at the Crystal's Lace and More shop.  These are the 2 assortments I couldn't pass up and ended up buying within minutes:
1/2LB Bag of Mixed Vintage Lace & Trim ($15 + S&H)
I received a total of 60-75yd (probably more) of gorgeous 3-5yd lengths of lace in my choice of colors!!  



1/2LB Bag of Mixed Lace Remnants ($10 + S&H)
This was a separate assortment of 1/2-3yd lace remnants of lace in my choice of colors that probably totaled more than the advertised 50-60yd.
These pictures do not convey the large quantity or great quality of the lace I received.  For a grand total of $32.50 (including S&H) I received about 140yd of lace that more than filled a standard size grocery bag!


If you think you'll ever use lace in any craft or sewing project, I highly recommend checking out Crystal's shop(s).  Here are links so you can learn more, see what she has available, and of course order some lace!!

Thanks for reading!! Until next time...
