Gathering the vintage chenille bedspreads in one place so I can get to work on new dusters, bags, and whatever else come up with!

Spotted! (Warning, jump scare on the 2nd pic!!) Huge thank you to the brave souls who came out to market yesterday!!! At 10am the actual temperature was 84° but the heat index at that same time was 102°! Absolutely miserable to be walking in the sun, so please know every single business appreciated you! Hopefully for the last market we can finally have at least one market this season with decent weather and go out with a bang, especially since so many of you want to try on the dusters and the peekaboo sweatshirts but we need the temperatures to play along. Hoping to have so much for you at that last market and then it is full steam ahead for Vintage & Made Fair prep!

As for the scary picture number two, Costco what are you even thinking??

Market After Dark was once again a chaotic crazy night and we all thank you so much for coming out, dealing with the rain(again!!) and the crowds and supporting small during this annual party time! No spotted because we were just too busy! But I did get a few pics of folks leaving in their new digs, sold out of all the sweatshirts except the ballon’s I think as well as most of the flannels. I took yesterday to recover but will be frantically working every night this week to get restocked for our regular market this Saturday where I will be back in my normal space. Only two left for the season, so come out early before kickoff so you don’t miss it!!

Tonight’s the night! Cedar Rapids Farmers Market and Buy Local Initiatives Market After Dark is today only, looks like the rain should be done by opening bell (although we were tricked by that last market so bring umbrella just in case) and penelope! and I will be in stall 71- between the Pita
Z food truck and Almost Famous Popcorn, and in the more calm area away from the stages. I will have the new bags as well as a limited selection of the tapestry sweatshirts and just a couple dusters and vests as a sneak peek (and lower intro pricing!, as well as the full range of wallets, Thinserts, totes, toiletry bags, and more. See you 6:30-11!!!

New bag dropping this Saturday! I have spent months trying to figure this one out and finally I have a method and shape I’m happy with! It is hard to see the true shape in this but think of those old wicker baskets for bicycles or the ones you’d hang in a wall- flat back with a curved lid that opens by lifting up, and that’s kind of the vibe. Cutting into the collectible and fancy towels for these roomy divas along with vintage sheets for the linings, a combination of interfacing and fleece inside gives structure while retaining soft flexibility, and they will have an adjustable strap to wear in a bunch of ways, from f***y to shoulder to crossbody. Hope to see you at Cedar Rapids Farmers Market and Buy Local Initiatives from 6-11pm!!
