Featured Blogger

Every month I will choose someone from the list as the Featured Blogger of the Month!! This month the Featured Blogger is:

This is a group of bloggers/etsy sellers who run the Vintage Kiddo Collective Etsy Team.

This is a fun new blog I just discovered through the Vintage Blog Link Party! I love vintage kid's clothing, I think it's just so adorable! I've even listed some children's items in my own Etsy shop. The VKC blog features lots of cute kid's items as well as giveaways and links to interesting articles on the web!


Now onto this month's Vintage Blog Link Party!
The link party is a great way to get your link out there for other vintage bloggers to find you, as well as a way to find other great blogs to read!

Please try to visit a few of the other blogs on the list and if someone stops by your blog from the link up and follows you, try to visit them as well. Let's keep this fun and easy!




The rules are simple:



  • Add your link to the linky list.
  • Leave a comment about what your blog is all about with a link
  • Grab the button and add it to your sidebar or a post, or tweet about the link up to spread the word
  • Visit at a few of the other participants and let them know you stopped by

Find of the Week (4)

During all of my thrifting, antiquing, vintage-ing, etc, there's always something that stands out!

When I first saw these suede heels at my local thrift store, I was so sure they were vintage!!


They're actually modern shoes from Nine West, but wow, how 1930s do these look??


 I love the cut outs and the the little strap!


 I think I've found my new dancing shoes!!

Do you have any pieces that are modern but vintage 'inspired'?

What great vintage or thrift finds did you uncover this week??

Bella's Slouchy Striped Hat from Eclipse


Ever since seeing Twilight "Eclipse" last year, I've wanted to knit a hat like the one Bella wore at the end of the movie.

Sorry, Team Jacob fans! This is the only pic of the hat I could find!
Source: Team-Twilight

After watching the dvd again on spring break, I 'had' to knit it! I found a pattern on Ravelry from Amy Theissen Designs, that worked out really well.




I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in a nubby neutral color and sage green. 


Have you ever a seen a knitted item in a movie that you just 'had' to have?
