Hello!

Moving fun!? This week I'm helping renovate and move my daughter, son-in-law Reagan, and little Rudy  into their first home. Will post some pictures later of some before and afters. We are so happy for them. I finally have a few more items for sale on my blog! These items are also available to purchase from my home.
As always email me for more pictures of any piece. Have a great day!

Hi Vestige friends!
I have some great news. I'm now selling my goodies at Contagious boutique in downtown Mesa across from Milanos. It's a great store with fun clothes, accessories, home decor, and children's items. It's part boutique and clothing store. So fun, you've got to check it out and it's open 6 days a week! I no longer will be open for drop in shopping on Wednesdays, at least for the summer. Still call if you want to stop by I will keep some items here (about 25%  at my house and the rest at Contagious) and some things on my blog for the out-of-town gals! I've had a very busy month (thank You) so I'm pretty low on inventory at home till about the 10th) I've found some wonderful vintage baubles locally as of late and can't wait to turn them into wonderful pieces so stay tuned! Sometimes I wish there were 30 hours in a day! As for hair treats we've found some wonderful fabrics and with summer in full swing my girls have more time and too are busily working. The most exciting news of all is my 2nd grand baby is due to arrive in December from my oldest daughter (the 1st grade teacher). So exciting! Have a great summer and will post some new items SOON!
Happy Day, Karen

A Fun Weekend

Hi
I haven't updated my blog in awhile so a quick post. Jenna and I headed to LA for Mother's Day for a shopping bonanza. We had the best time (well I did, I dragged Jenna around most the time but she was a trooper and great help) at a flea market. I found lots of great stuff for my jewelry creations (can I say WOW) and a couple things for myself. This pic is just a few of my great finds. The big piece is a Mexican tree of life and I love it! I'm still open on Wednesday's and I'm trying to make more smaller pieces, great for  teacher gifts and graduation. Speaking of graduation my son-in-law (Jenna's husband) Eric graduated in Accounting from A.S.U. Congrats Eric we are so PROUD of you. So thanks for the continued support and I'm still busy creating new stuff all the time!
Happy Day, Karen

This bright headband is made from felted wool, vintage embroidery trims, old buttons and baubles. The headband is black with clear rhinestones. The size measures 3 x 5. So cute and fun!

April Showers?

Hi

Hope everyone had a glorious Easter. Ours was great, our first with Rudy who is now 7 1/2 months old. He got an airplane basket filled with clothes and toys along with a giant bunny and his first stuffed horse! I overheard my daughter tell her sisters you better make sure mom gets your kids this much for Easter (yikes) I'm still working feverishly to create lots of fun stuff, I've purchased some great vintage baubles and I'm making lots of things with color for spring. I really do have lots of new stuff every week. I make at least 20 necklaces and 20 headbands with help from my girls! Remember I'm open for drop in shopping every Wednesday or call for a different time. I know I'll be very busy for Graduation and mothers day. I'm going to make lots of things with inspirational little quotes on them perfect for Moms and grads. Have a great week, Karen 602-793-2310

Bloom Where You're Planted!

Hi All,

I'm still making lots of new goodies. My newest passion is covering buttons with old linens and hankies, I obviously love vintage things. I'm also using lots of big plastic vintage looking flowers which I hand paint and am always on the hunt for enamel vintage flower pins at a good price! I'm still riding my sweet horse and spoiling her way to much by letting her graze in the dessert grass but it will all dry up way too soon. I love this lone little flower growing in the sand and rocks, it really says "bloom where you're planted. (If you ever wonder why I don't post pics of my DARLING grandson Rudy his parents prefer his pictures stay off the internet) Rudy is getting so big, sitting up and loves to sit in the cart and go shopping! (he may have inherited that from me!) Here's a few pics of some new stuff. I've got lots of great jewelry and hair goodies, come check it out for Easter! Still open Wednesdays and call for other times. Thanks, Karen 602-793-2310

Spring Break!

Just a quick post to let you know I'm open this Wednesday during break, I already had my fun vacation so busy working. I'm excited to be wholesaling to a couple new places including a boutique in Washington. Still building my ETSY site, had some sales, very exciting! Breezy enjoying the yummy grass in the dessert by Salt River on a fun ride. Have a wonderful break, Karen

1 more checked off the bucket list!

Hi

Just back from NYC did lots of fun stuff but the Martha Stewart show taping was the ULTIMATE highlight. I love her show, watch it everyday! We were lucky enough to sit in the lower seating front ROW! They even commented on my necklace (It wasn't the most subtle piece ever Ha) The audience was given a goody bag and her new cook book. Lucky us! Thanks to my friend Elizabeth knowing someone, after the show went on a private behind the scenes tour of the entire company, test kitchen, magazines home, prop room, photo studio and even saw Martha's private office. What an impressive operation, everything was beautiful, organized, and welcoming just as you'd expect. Our bellman said he had friends who said Martha would stop and give people rides to work sometimes as she drove in from her home. How nice. Anyway you can tell I'm a little over the moon about the whole thing. Went to the amazing Brooklyn flea got some fun pieces, the center on the black necklace is from there and was from a women who used to make eclectic pieces for Vogue magazine shoots. I still love my bird nest necklaces, perfect for spring. I hand make each nest in all sizes in both gold or silver tone. Email me with any questions and I'm still open on Wednesdays and working on growing my ETSY site. I just need to stay home and work! Happy soon to be spring!
