Postsecret follow-up.

The postsecret event was just as I thought it would be...AWESOME! I met Frank warren and even though I was one of the last 20 people they let in, I got a front row seat because I went alone! See, there was a purpose for me to go alone. What a great night:)

Look out for new things in the shop this week! Lot's and lot's of vintage coming your way!

Turning a new leaf

From here on out I will be focusing on fulfilling my dreams, overcoming obstacles, reaching goals and having the MOTIVATION to do anything I want!

I think it is very important to be comfortable with changing seasons and fresh starts. Although, I am not always the best at transitioning I'm giving myself good tips. I try and always stay in great spirits, transfer positive energy and be optimistic. Whenever you are leaving a chapter in your life you should exit on a happy note with a brighter outlook on the things to come. Really, you should just always stay happy and have a cheery disposition no matter what.

I am going to be spending everyday I have off of my other job making the most darling little dresses and skirts! I am going to be getting pretty close with my sewing machine(Myrtle). She is so awesome, she is super high tech and amazing. I mean seriously....she does great embroidery in a matter of minutes, she has like a bazillion different stitches and she is all digital. Now, that is pure convenience. I also have an amazing 1963 Singer table machine, I wish I had room for it in my house!

I am heading out to the postsecret event in a few minutes. I am going alone because I just had too many offers of people to go with and couldn't pick one....just kidding...no one could go, haha. I could probably find someone to go with but I think it is necessary I get used to doing things alone again. I used to do things alone all the time, I was so comfortable being my own best friend. Then I just stopped without even realizing it. Finding your true self is the greatest journey and knowing and loving yourself is one of the best parts of life!

"When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend, I get a coffee and the paper have my own conversations."

Oooooh lala.

This is me acting like a scandalous tart.

This is Harold, the not so dumb dummy. I rescued him from a local Value village and was quite proud of my finding. He makes a great prop and he's cute too:)

These were taken during a vintage clothing photo shoot a few months back. I snapped a few sassy photo's in-between changing:) Funny because it is really unlike me to be so revealing. They turned out so cute though, I think I might make a calendar.

What a sweeeeeet wedding!

A while back lovely Adrienne bought her wedding dress from me!! I am just now getting around to blogging about it(hehe, I'm BAD!) Anyways, I thought it was pretty awesome! I even had replaced the zipper in the dress. After she purchased it she said that she found it had a penny sewn in the seam. Now, that's good luck! Here's to many years of happiness with her sweetheart!

Here are some pics of the awesome(vintage inspired) wedding.

Postsecret in SEATTLE, WA.

I recently found out that Frank Warren of Post Secret will be speaking at Seattle University on Thursday! I almost jumped out of my chair and did a happy dance:)! They will be letting students in first THEN the general public. I am crossing my fingers that I get a spot before it fills up.

I am not quite sure why I am sooooo drawn to postsecret. Most people seem to relate to it because of something specific that happened to them. I however, don't really have anything specific I need help or healing with. I love it because it is helping so many young people around the world.

It is so important for people to let go of negative feelings and energy in their lives. Life is so short, fulfilling your dreams and loving yourself is KEY! The sooner you let go of something OR someone who is holding you back...the sooner you can start achieving your goals and dreams.

Here are a few of my favorites:

A nice message and an old Seattle post card:)

Memories are what make us who we are today. They don't hold us back.

Put trust in yourself LONG before others.

Freedom to choose your own pathway is such a luxury.

What a darling vintage photo!

That's the ONLY way to think:)

Now, it's time to live your dreams and live them well.

I'm dreaming of the PERFECT living room.

One day...ONE DAY, I will be taking a break from my sewing room and sipping on a glass of wine while reading the paper in a living room that would go well with these:)
