Handmade Displays!

I love my headband handmade display! Matt and I worked really hard on this thing!

So I have this big event coming up (will announce soon) and I need better displays! So instead of spending a fortune on headband displays, I decieded to make them my own with pvc pipes, block of wood, and picked out the fabric to go along with my theme displays! I got all of these supply's at Lowes..total cost was $25 bucks! Such an amazing idea!

Matt did all the sawing..I was too weak to do it alone.. :P

Drill saw to make the holes

First part of the display.

Andddd waaaLA!

Final Product!

Also, while hanging out in Matt's father garage..I started noticing all his fathers collection of vintage thing. It's crazy to think most of his stuff is worth thousands..nuts.

Ok,well that's it for now..back to creating...<3

Today what of been...

The Alice in Wonderland Premiere..but of course...it's in foggy London Town. All we (L.A) got was a lame press junket in Hollywood.. along with lame bands who for some reason are on the AIW soundtrack... If Lewis Caroll was around he'd freak out.The soundtrack alone gives me the feeling Tim Burton's version of AIW is going to be horrible.. I mean lets face it, Willy Wonka was horrible.. and I loved that movie. I'm not sure how people are going to take this movie, considering everyone is use to the Disney movie and not familiar with Lewis Caroll or his work... nor are people aware that Alice was a real person and that story was written for her and her sisters...eepp! I could write a noval about this..but I wont. :D Anyway..... SInce everyone and their mother is jumping on the bandwagon..I thought I'd blog about it. I have collect so many Lewis Caroll AIW books I could start my own library. I've played Alice in High School... one of my most exciting, well researched production I have ever been a part of.

So today is Officially Alice day..In my book any way. I pay homage to you Sir Lewis Caroll with a few of my favorite Alice things..

This is my arm, and I'm in love with it.

Alice Couture.

Alice- Yes she was real.

fancyThat Alice line..

I recently started collecting these goodies..<3

Seriously..TT needs to stop! So much of my bf's money has gone to her..hehe

UD book of shadows.. YUMMY!

I'm Obsessed.

Yes, yes.. I don't know how many times I have to say this.. but I was seriously born in the wrong era. Ever since I even had a sense of fashion (which was at a very young age..might I add ;D ) I've been in love with everything from the Victorian Era. Collecting every thing old from mirrors, frames, silver wear, jewelry, furniture..and of yes..clothes.. you'd swear I was your grandma. I have a pretty soft spot for vintage thrift stores.. and i am NOT talking about "the good will" I'm talking about the hidden treasures in L.A which I won't dare speak of.. hehe. Sorry, but I can't. But as you can imagine I take all the things I am passionate about and put it into what I design... I've been really into making fabric rosettes, I love to find fabrics that look shabby chic and rusty. I wasn't sure how my customers would like it, because it's a little different from the "norm".. but they LOVE them! I swear, I sit here everyday making them for people..it's great. Not only could I turn them into headbands..but they make a really cute necklace. I am so satisfied with them..take a lookies..

A side from that..I have been designing my dream house with these super treasures..
