Reware VintageRoy got a special package from our friends the Kysars in the mail last week!
He had a lot of fun opening it up & pulling everything out
He loved this coloring book page from the littleist Kysar, Peter! He waved it all over the room and had to show it to the dogs before he would touch anything else in the box.
I thought the dresser was pretty neat, but what was inside the drawer was the real unexpected vintage find.
Last week was The Rust Belt Market’s first birthday…hard to believe we were at the opening over a year ago today!
Owners Tiffany and Chris had a great party to celebrate, and we kept Roy up *just a little* past bedtime to check it all out.
We had a great time at Craft Revival! Dan and I were set up right next to each other, and surrounded by some incredible artists, crafters and sewers.
Some of my favorites there were The Foraging Florist, Pinki Design, Jam by Hand and my neighbor Me and My Sewing Machine.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there!
Everywhere!

For Craft Revival tomorrow, the ladies of Handmade Detroit made corsages for the first 50 mom shoppers! There are four different kinds, each from different materials and using unique techniques. These are the corsages I made, from vintage fabric and buttons of course! For those of you who can’t make it to the fair, here’s a tutorial on how to make your own at home – for mom or yourself!
You will need:
Fabric at least 40 inches in length
Needles
Thread
Scissors or a rotary cutter and mat
a metal pinback
one fairly large button (not pictured)
Craft Revival is tomorrow! I’m excited to be selling (and shopping!) with 25 other amazing vendors – you can check out all the previews of what to expect at HandmadeDetroit.com.
Also, Handmade Detroit is now accepting applications for vendors for Craft Faire at Maker Faire Detroit! Read all about it and apply here.
Kim made me pause and consider Jack White and his relationship with the female world. One of the best and most interesting music oriented blog posts I have read in a very long time.
And from an artist I love to one I actually don’t like – Led Zeppelin (but you know I obsess over vintage T shirts). Check out the “Top 10 Vintage Led Zeppelin T Shirts” of all time.
Have you shopped at Dan’s Parents House? Of course, I am loving the name, but I fell even harder checking out the goods!
As promised, new record earrings in the shop this week, and even more on the way! Shop all the record jewelry here.
Craft Revival – Handmade Detroit’s spring show -is this Saturday! DJ Dave Lawson (you may remember his jams at DUCF day one) will be spinning while 25 indie crafters show off some of their spring stock – perfect for shopping for Mother’s Day (and Father’s Day too!). Reware Vintage will be there selling record jewelry and notebooks, and Einfach Skate will be sharing the table with me!
I hope you’ll come down and check out the show, have a beer and say hello! The fair is 12-6 at the Loving Touch in Ferndale, and there is a special treat for moms who stop by!

Our little guy is starting to stand on his own! He turned 11 months old this week, I wonder if he’ll be walking by his birthday party?
This is really exciting and slightly terrifying.
