Recently, I was at a local Xmas Craft and Bazaar at our Japanese Cultural Center. It's called Trash And Treasure and it's put on by Temari. They had real terrific vintage items for sale. I came across a box full of vintage fabric swatches. I filled a bag with all the fabric swatches and wondered what I was going to do with all of this fabric. I have this "thing" for vintage fabric. I'm not really into sewing but something just draws me to the fabric...it's designs, colors, and feel.

When I got home and stared at this bag of vintage wonderfulness, it dawned on me that I could make more vintage fabric rosettes. The idea to turn them into headbands and hairpins popped into my head. Bing! And then I got to creating. I have so many different swatches to choose from and they're all so cute and vintagey! I'm in vintage heaven.

Visit my Etsy shop Lilikoi Cottage to pick up your headband and hairpin set. These are so pretty to wear and will change your most simplest outfit into something fab!

Fun and Fancy Free Fabric Rosette Cuff Bracelets

My Secret Life as a Trapeze Artist

(Sold)

I love flowers and fabric. I have a large collection of vintage fabric which I never seemed to figure out what to do with...until now. I was inspired by other artistans and their fabric rosette jewelry. Wanting to use my vintage fabric and make rosettes jewelry also, I did it but with my own twist. This was the perfect new line of jewelry for my new Etsy shop "Lilikoi Cottage". It's fun, cheerful, eclectic, romantically vintage, a bit crazy with color and trims, and will definitely put a smile on your face. These bracelets are not for the faint of heart. I created this line for the Woman who knows who she is, believes that life is what she makes of it, and wants life to be positive and fun filled.

You'll find a variety of vintage fabric ranging from American cotton to Japanese Kimono. Vintage trims consisting of Ric Rac, ribbons, buttons, trim, and beads will be used. I have super pretty trim from Paris that I have stored away that I will be using.

Introducing My Two New Etsy Shops

Hi all! Sorry that I've been a bit MIA from this blog. I've been a bit busy with life and rethinking of my Etsy shop Stacy's Designs 88. I've decided to branch out and open 2 new shops...Lilikoi Cottage and Blue Lovebirds.

In my Lilikoi Cottage shop, I'll be selling my vintage flower and shabby chic colorful jewelry, vintage Hawaii finds, handmade shabby chic cottage like crafts, cute tags and cards, and whatever other cottage inspired creations.


In my Blue Lovebirds shop, I'll be selling my wedding inspired jewelry, and wedding accessories like Jimmy's hand turned pens made from Koa wood and other materials, cute handmade ring pillows, and other wedding must haves.


Amy from Bean Sprout Studios designed all my Etsy shop banners.My shop banners were created to all have a similar look in color and design so that customers could more readily recognize all 3 shops as belonging to me.

Working with Amy was a dream come true. I searched thru the different Etsy shops looking for a design style that I could relate to and I found it in Amy's Etsy Shop. I love and appreciate Amy's clean modern graphic designs, her terrific "eye", and her quick turnaround on her work. She's so easy to communicate with and is open to creating different versions of a design which is so helpful.

Amy has so many gorgeous graphic designs, mommy calling cards, Thank you cards, cards for any occasion, digital scrapbook paper...and much more. Please visit Amy's Etsy Shop "Bean Sprout Studio" .

Amy will soon be working on my new Etsy business cards and a new Blog banner. For my mother and I, she's already designed our new real estate business cards. I'll reveal those in another article. Yayyy!
