Retro Treasure Chest

I know I haven't posted here in ages.

Sorry for that!

As of now, any item you see in any previous post is no longer available.  Which is great for me, but not so great for you if you were interested in one particular item.

Don't fret!  If you see something on the site and want to know if I can re-create it to a degree (since I up-cycle and recycle, exact remakes not necessarily available), shoot me an email and I'd be happy to chat.

In the meantime, I have to tell you about my great Saturday this previous weekend.  I left the house at 6:40am and headed up to Denver to meet Erin Ferris, the most fantastic hair stylist, who, incidentally, has become a wonderful and treasured friend.  She did wonders to my much needed mop and at 8:09 I hopped in the car to head back down to my neck of the woods which is about 35 minutes away.

All of a sudden the jam-packed parking lot of Goodwill in Glendale, CO caught my eye.  Why on earth is it so busy at this hour?  I thought to myself.  I swung into the turn lane to find out for myself.

I still wasn't sure upon entering but headed to the jewelry counter to see if there were any unique treasures.

Oh yeah!  Okay, right now, put your arms in front of you and grab each opposite elbow with the other hand...you see a big circle if you look down, right?

Uh-huh!  You got it!  A BAG, a 25lb bag, of goodies for $40.

I looked at what I could from the outside since it was taped shut, but I caught glimpses and acted cool, not wanting the other patron at the counter to snatch it up before yours truly.

Then I said, "Why is it so busy in here today?"

The other shopper looked at me like I had a third arm.  "It's 50% off Day!  Everything in the store is 50% off, except items with a blue tag...but yeah!"

I casually looked at the bag...PURPLE TAG!

OH YEAH!

So, here's a sneak peek at some of the items from the 25lb bag I got, which when poured out filled four trays.  I'll be recycling and upcycling many of these pieces in new bebe&boo creations.

And, stay tuned because it's inspired me to do a fun PURPLE TAG SALE that you won't want to miss!

Some pieces at the Shoppe

So, here is a glimpse of some fun one of a kind pieces I sent off to Shoppe on the Corner in South Dakota. It was really a pleasure making these, I have to say! Honestly, that is one of the many reasons being totally eclectic has its advantages...I can go from traditional to funky to somewhere in between all in one creative session. Hope you like!

(Can't remember what I named this for the Shoppe, but here I'll call it

Don't let anyone pigeon hole your creativity!

Go with your gut and see what beauty comes out of it!
