Crafting Music

Top 5 artists (and some sample songs) that I listen to while crafting, in no particular order:






Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains
The Black Keys - Pretty much any song!
Arcade Fire - Ready to Start
Animal Collective - Summertime Clothes
Modest Mouse - Edit the Sad Parts

Happy Listening-
Katie

Favorite New Blog & Seller - Fresh Vintage

Certainly fresh, hilarious and great finds - just a few ways to describe Fresh Vintage.

Rachel and I first met Colleen of Fresh Vintage at a fall Clover Market show in Ardmore, PA.  What's not to love about her fantastic booth and camper below?!  



The entire show, Rachel and I took turns running back and forth to check out the fantastic collections of vintage finds from  Fresh Vintage .  We nabbed all kinds of wonderful goodies.  We have integrated many of our finds into our jewelry lines as well as our displays.  An old stamp holder propped up on an old spool now displays our typewriter keys.  We've taken some of the number tags that we acquired from Fresh Vintage and have turned them into jewelry.  





Rachel also is displaying an old gas station number sign in her house over her mantle.

We immediately fell in love with Colleen's blog.  Her wit, gift picks for the holidays and features kept us giggling and gave us and our friends and families some wonderful gifts.  We've also been following the Fresh Vintage etsy shop like hawks!  I am in love with this bell -


We're so eager to see what else she brings to the next Clover Market in 2012!  All images are from Colleen Allison of Fresh Vintage.
