Introducing . . .

Hi Everyone,

Well, as promised, more new items are finding their way here and without further adieu our newest tassel in the family, Scrapper

This tassel was literally a culmination of all the scraps I found during my big workroom redo. A piece of lace here, scrap of shredded muslin there, leftover piece of ribbon found, each time I added a scrap, it added a dimension to this tassel. Pretty soon I was in awe to how gorgeous these guys turned out. Kinda' shabby, kinda vintage and a whole lot of fun, that pretty much sums up Scrapper, coming to a show near you in the near future.

Back to the desk,

We are proud to introduce . . .

Hi Everyone,


As hinted at, we have a new addition to our  IT family. Drum roll please . . . 


It's a girl! The entire industrial line of tassels has been slightly masculine in description. But now, it's definitely a girl.


Meet 'Silky'

Isn't she wonderful? Cue Stevie Wonder folks. A wonderful combination of silky ribbon and rusted washers and nuts. She is soft and full, slightly stained and very elegant all at the same time. I hear angels singing in the background. We sold a whole lot of them last weekend in Allegan, usually a good indication of future popularity!


We have been super busy trying to get ready for the Indie Wed show in Milwaukee. New bridal boards, new guest seating cards, new coasters just tons of pretty things. I will try to get pics up.

The sun will come out, tomorrow . . . .

Hi Everyone,


That Annie chick knew what she was talking about, that's for sure. 


At 4:00 AM Sunday morning, it was cold and damp but as we sat up, in the dark I might add, it started getting brighter and brighter and we ended up with a beautifully warm, sunny day. Yea ! It didn't rain again til we were on our way home. That I could handle.


People came by the droves, local people we found out. This is a very popular event for Allegan County every year, and rightly so. We were so busy all day that my only 'sight seeing / bathroom break journey' was limited to that building and back. But what I saw was fantastic. Beautiful antiques, great primitives and food. Tons and tons of food, nearly every person that came by our booth, was either eating or just finishing. Apparently part of the Allegan Antique Market experience according to most.


We had a fantastic day, met some great new friends, sold lots and lots of things and thank goodness I grabbed these pictures when I did because a couple of these tags are no more! 


First, was the raven tag

 the 'kisses' tag

the industrial tag

the Sherlock Holmes tag

Everyone seemed to love the tags, glitter clothespins and burlap flowers, so much so that I have a date with a roll of burlap and a jar of glitter as soon as I finish this post.


Tomorrow I will be sharing the new addition to our Industrial Tassel line. "Silky' was hugely popular on her debut and I think you will agree when you see her.


Til then, here's the mission impossible schedule and tour . . .  LOL!

and then there was 5 . . .

Hi Everyone,

Well, what started out as a 'fun' new addition to our merchandise family, IT now has siblings.


Lots of family so to speak. Every time I turn out the lights, there's another one that just pops up!


Meet cousin Haywire, (I can not believe I am naming my merchandise, shoot me now)

A lovely addition consisting of the great rusted elements plus waxed hemp, a slightly wild child appeal with a definite flair for the dramatic.

Can you say life of the flirty party ? It isn't fair to pick a favorite one so I will keep moving on.

This is the muscle tassel, heavy duty appeal with strong character, A very heavy gauge of jute meets the strength of metal and there you have it, Hercules.

Such a handsome dude.

On the other side the the track are the almost twins. Earlier we met IT,

the looped muslin beauty that started this whole thing,

and here is the almost identical twin with a bit of twist, straight no loop tails. Here's Cutter, the clean cut other one.

Both 'kids' offer a very rich, stained appearance.

Such a nice complement to that wonderfully rusted tassel top. They are just so gorgeous.

Every family has that one individual that marches to their own drum. Our's is no exception, meet ET, who thinks copper is really the coolest metal ever. Hmmm, that is something we have in common.

Definitely the show off of the family

He is equal parts copper and jute, just exuding a raw energy that will prove to be a great accent to any primitive piece you happen across.

We have a huge family outing planned for Saturday and Sunday, so please head down to the Trades building at Kane County Flea Market. I will make sure all the 'kids' are on their best behavior.  LOL! we are looking forward to seeing all of you.

Our schedule for the next couple of weeks and don't forget NA DA coming May 18 -19.

March 31 & April 1  Kane County Fleas Market, Trades Building St. Charles, IL (let's all pray for warm weather as the buildings are NOT heated)
