now is the time...

to get that doll skirt you saw in my shop.
free shipping on all doll skirts at black tulip shop, click HERE to take advantage of the savings!!

please come into...

my work space. :)  my husband and i just bought our first home and it was my chance to have a proper work area. basically i needed an area for my sewing and space for my retro and vintage bric-a-brac...so without further ado.

 when you first walk-in, next to the door you will find some of my craft, art and kid books. also on the bookcase is my hello kitty bubble gun machine. my light box (yes, it actually lights up) with an image of gwen stefani's "love angel music baby" album cover hangs above the bookcase. these boxes were all the rage in record stores...when there were record stores.

as you come around you will see the sets of drawers where I keep my store's stock. each drawer has different products, the top ones are for jewelry and the lower ones have pouches and totes. the white boxes are shipping supplies and look don't you just love my junko mizuno poster! :)

the cubby holds my fabrics, each cube has a different major color scheme of fabrics.
basically all the blues are in one cube and all the red/pink are in another cube and so on.
the cutie shelves came with the room which is perfect for my figures and such.

you will also notice my vintage wig box and sewing basket, i love thrift stores!

last but not least is my desk, it's nice to have this area. i have my sewing machine, my serger and a wicked lime green chair! i also have my pegboard which i did myself. it's so helpful for keeping my desk organized. you will also notice the picture of my husband as a young skateboarding slacker.

i hope you enjoyed taking a peek in my cutie world!! :)

congrats...

thanks for stopping by and have a great day!! :)

time for...

catch up.

first off i had my first vendor experience and it was fun!

i had a table at the atlanta rollergirls bout this past june and i met some really nice people.
i also learned a few things by watching some of the other vendors at the event.
the first thing was i need to bring more product which means i really need to get to work.

second, i need more display pieces to showcase my products.
i was able to find some nice baskets from the thrift store and i will continue to look so that next time i will have a super awesome display area.

i got this three tier basket for $2.50 at the local salvation army store and that plastic postcard holder for $1.50, what a deal!!

there were a few things that made me super proud, like my table sign

and my assistant, my hubby andy! :)

all in all it was a great evening and a great first vendor experience!



on shop news, i thought it would be fun to add a new item to the shop...yep, scrunchies!!

you may ask yourself, why?  well why not, they can hold your hair out of the way when you're washing your face and they won't damage your hair like most other ponytail holders and heck they're just fun! 
this fairy kei pair sold afterr just a couple of days so i'll be making  more this weekend so check out the shop to see what other combos we have in store.

now on a personal cuteness note, on July the 7th me and my husband celebrated our 8th anniversary of our first date!  yep. eight years ago we went on our first date and ever since we have been inseparable!! :)
as one of my awesome presents he got me this wonderful mini lalaloopsy treehouse!

i spent part of this afternoon taking pictures of the treehouse and the dolls!

and as you can tell this little lady likes to play in the mud puddles!

well that's it for now, i hope your summer's going good!! :)
