Day 18 Thing:  A dry-run set up of the table for my first craft fair.  (It goes along with the student fashion show at the local UC.)  It turned out quite nicely, but rather than show those pics, I am including a much more inspiring one of the buttons I just picked up at Thrift Town for my cuffs/headbands:

Day 19 Thing:  A handwritten note to my dear friend.  Another favorite thrift store of mine supports the local SPCA and has a great collection of old/vintage greeting cards.  This one is a (not-vintage) hilarious, slightly fuzzy, photo of a groundhog (?) glued to a card.

Thing-A-Day has turned into Experiment-A-Day for me.  Here is a close-up of the fabric bookmarks (?) that I am working towards.

It was super simple: Rectangle of thrifted vintage bed sheet sewn on slightly larger rectangle of stiff grey felt.

I’ll be participating in a local craft fair in March (my first!) with three of my friends and I’m quite excited. Here is what I made today–a cuff made from a vintage thrifted tie.

I’ll be making more of these and some other fun accessories to sell. Did I say how excited I am?
