Inspired!

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

The past few weeks, and especially this week I’ve been in the mood to craft, and craft a lot! I’ve made a bunch of new record sleeve cards (they’ll be available on the site soon!), pouches, new gift tags, record notebooks, and more record earrings! I even made Peanut Butter cupcakes last night from February’s Martha Stewart Living magazine and *they are amazing* !

Partly, I’m inspired by the new Handmade Detroit craft show, Craft Revival, we’ve been planning, partly I’m just excited to have the time to be creative lately. I’m having fun diving into my piles of craft and sewing stashes to see what I can find, and in trying and making new things!

I’ve also had a number of requests lately from customers asking for specific albums and artists for record notebooks! I love getting requests, because sometimes it’s for an artist I normally wouldn’t think to make or don’t think there is much interest out there for it. It helps me realize what you are looking for, and what I should be looking for when I’m hunting for goodies for the site!

So, please let me know if you’d like to see me make something specific! Whether it is a specific record notebook, a color of record earrings, or a certain type of pouch you have in mind, I’d love to know! Would you like to applique a certain something on a skirt, shirt or bag? Let me know! I also always appreciate your feedback on new crafts you’d like to see, or vintage clothing you’re looking for!

You can always email me at bethany@rewarevintage.com with your ideas, or feel free to leave a comment instead if you’d like! Thanks everyone!!!

Life Photo Archive

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Have you checked out the Life Magazine Photo Archive yet? I’ve spent (too much) time looking through it the past couple days. A search for sewing, cocktail dress, or rock concert can have some fun results! Use it to find a picture of a lovely model in a vintage dress, or a goofy picture of an 80′s TV star – both are great in their own ways!

Handmade Detroit Announcement!

Monday, February 9th, 2009

From Stephanie at Handmade Detroit:

Don’t you wish the Detroit Urban Craft Fair could happen more often? The energy and fun of DUCF is contagious — so contagious, in fact, that it has spread to another craft show. Handmade Detroit is excited to announce a brand new addition to our line-up: Craft Revival.

Thirty alternative craft vendors will gather for Craft Revival on Saturday, April 18, at the Magic Stick in Detroit. Help us celebrate the end of this brutally cold winter with the freshest goods from Detroit’s busy and growing craft scene.

Attention artists! We need you! Vendor applications are now being accepted online. Deadline to apply is Feb. 27. Apply at http://detroiturbancraftfair.com/spring/

I’m so excited for this new show!!!
