Unique LA Holiday Show!

2010-12-21T20:41:00.000-08:00

I had a great time vending at the Unique LA Holiday show a couple of weekends ago!

Lots of regulars turned up to say 'Hi' and I managed to get one of my new designs out in time for Christmas :) This one is a bit smaller than the others that I made previously, which took quite of bit of measuring and reworking. But I'm happy with the way that turned out- this can be worn as a button tote or as a zipper-d tote!

Came back from the show exhausted but happy- it was a good show- lots of interesting vendors and customers!

Crazy Hats!

Check out that hat! I found this vintage photo today while antiquing, and I just had to get it :)

Makes you wonder what kind of shoes she's wearing......

Sneak Peek into some new displays just arrived!

I'd be busy listing these new babies- some are at a really good prices so do check them out over the weekend! http://www.etsy.com/shop/selinabeadsnbits

great for displaying small cards and photographs- folds easily for storage and moving around at shows

$18.90

these buckets are great for storing bits and stuff you end up having to use like pens, staplers, receipt books at shows- also great for stacking books, ornaments too :)

this bird cage shape 2 level etagere is perfect for adding some height to your displays- hoist it up on a vintage wood crate to give it some more interest with the different textures....

small mini tray stand- great for showcasing plants, jewelry

my new favorite item- a rooster finial 3 layer cupcake stand- also works beautifully for showcasing some interesting pins or flower corsages :)

Deep Fried Oreo Chocolate Bacon at the Los Angeles County Fair!

2010-09-18T01:15:00.000-07:00

I probably chose the HOTTEST day to go to the LA County fair! But I just could not resist the 'deep fry just about anything you can eat' siren call..... there were lots of crazy looking rides and a really amazing NHRA Motorsports museum showcasing vintage racing cars.

fun colors taken of a carnival store

deep fried krispy kreme chicken burger anyone? (Listed on the top left hand corner)

carnival store

power puff chickens!

quite surreal- kids were 'zipped' into an inflatable floating ball and were rolling around in it!

Who doesn't need a pink/purple and red stripe racer?

fun american 50s graphics

This looks even more amazing in person!
