I am so in love with retro girls from the 40's all the way up to the 80's. I wish that artists for books and greeting cards still stuck to that same style of art simply because it looked so innocent and so colorful and maybe because it reminds me of my childhood...okay I am an 80's baby and proud dammit! So in a tribute to the retro girls I have created some pieces out of my dedication to the cute and kitschy era!

So it's pushing towards the homse stretch and it's getting kind of stressful. This is my first juried craft show so I want to make sure that I have evought jewelry and plenty of preperation with all the little things in between. I have made most of jewelry displays from items from the thrift shop and Lowes such as CD racks, picture frames and wood pieces to make my own T-bar necklace displays. I am going to be posting a tutorial on here in the near future so stay tuned!
Here are a few items that I have added to my shop so check it out and maybe you will see something that fancies you!

Kitschy Keen and Feeling Good About It
I got this retro kitsch pup from Etsy the other day and I found this adorable sheep at the Goodwill, took it home and gave it a makeover. I painted it pink and added cute eyelashes to it! LOVES it!!
I bought these amazing vintage kitsch decals that are still in their original packaging! I love them and can't wait to find a place to use them on!
I also got these beauties from Etsy and they were only $8.00 each!! I couldn't pass these up for one second! And the best part is that they were still in their original packaging. Countless hours of being on the net pays off..lol
