Knitting and Stormtroopers
Saturday Lish and I went and checked out Knit Michigan, and drooled at gorgeous yarn and some cool fashions.
Ultimately, I reminded myself that I didn’t need any more yarn in my crowded office, but I couldn’t leave without buying a couple of these cards from City Knits. Lish had a great idea to frame one, so now I’m looking for the perfect vintage frame to match.
That night was a crafty dinner with the Handmade Detroit ladies and the I3 Detroit boys, then I scooted over to the Exposure Detroit photography exhibit at the Bean and Leaf Cafe. It was PACKED, my macchiato was excellent, and I had some great conversation before I interrupted a very busy Tafari for a quick hug before hitting the road down into Detroit.
Next, Kim, Lish and I checked out the Majestic Garage Sale. We scored books some books and records, and I got a couple great vintage T shirts. Highlight of the night? Photos with the Stormtrooper there that was selling Star Wars collectibles.
Sunday was pretty uneventful, except one thing – I got into my first Etsy treasury – Check it out here! In case you didn’t know, yep we are on Etsy as well, you can see the shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/rewarevintage.
Otherwise it was a simple day – Gym, baking, Puppy Bowl. Love the Puppy Bowl! The rabbit cheerleaders were a nice addition, don’t you think?

Yep, I’m on Etsy too! Just a few items – things that typically don’t sell well on the real website (like shoes) and clothing that has been on the website for awhile and I don’t want to put on clearance.
There’s also other Record Notebooks on there too, not available on the site. Devo is my fav on there right now!
I adored the Storm Trooper dude! He was a lot of fun and was taking pictures with people a lot that night.
