my grandfathers hat

Outfit Details: 

Dress/Jumper: Vintage, Wild Rose, Guelph, ON

Denim shirt: Joe Fresh

Belt: Forever 21

Tights: The Bay

Boots: Chez Thrift, Bolton, ON

Hat: Grandfathers

Necklace: Hattitude Jewellery shop

I think this hat completes the outfit, which used to be my grandfathers. Also the yellow bow belt. Who doesn't swoon over a bow belt? I now own three of them and LOVE them all to pieces. I particularly like bow belts because they update what could have been a frumpy vintage jumper into a modern day outfit. I really think denim shirts are key in updating your vintage finds as well, if you want to update them, some people just love the classic look of vintage. I like to update mine a little with modern style items, such as bow belts and denim shirts. I guess that's why I update vintage brooches and earrings in to new funky modern day jewelry to wear every day. Have you checked out my online store yet? Take a gander over here at my online shop.

I hope your Friday nights are going swimmingly. I am off for a date night dinner. Tomorrow off to a card... party? Is that what one would call it? It's a gathering where you make your own greeting cards, sort of like a tupper ware party but make your own greeting cards. It's fun. I love being creative like that, but don't own half the scrapbooking items that are needed to do it, so this is a great excuse!

Have a great weekend!

If only Hearts could be made to Order...

If only a heart could be made to order...the world might be a bit less lonely. 

Here's a necklace to cheer even the most broken hearted up. 

Trying something new. Going to post a photo of me (the jewellery designer) wearing the Hattitude (the one-of-a-kind necklace or bracelet) Click here to visit the site. 

Here an outfit is featured and you can see how I would rock the jewellery, (although I realize everyone's style is not mine, just a plain white t-shirt and jeans with this necklace works like a charm every time!) 

This necklace is called "Hearts to Order". It is a one-of-a-kind necklace. Designed using vintage and new beads. It has an old pin with a sterling silver heart hanging down, as well as part of an antique necklace that has 3 baby roses attached to it. Click here to visit the site.

Falling Slowly

I am Canadian

love tights

So in to hair pieces right now. Must figure out how to make them for self.

Yesterday I went thrift store hunting in Guelph. Got so many wonderful pieces to start building my new collection! Remember 20% of my sales this month is going towards Red Cross to help aid Japan. 

I have 100 more pages to read before book club tonight! We are reading The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant. My brothers and sisters marathon has had to be put on hold. 

I started 'spring cleaning' out my closet for the clothes swap next saturday! My closet is over flowing. Can't wait to get rid of some stuff! (and of course swap for a few new pieces! ha)

Etsy!

Finally, I am online with etsy! I have been researching and looking to get on to etsy.com for months now. Last week I put my first 10 necklaces up on their site. I'm still workin' around it, figuring stuff out. It's a really neat community. If you have not heard of etsy, it's huge in the US. They have some amazing artists and unique things on etsy. I have been buying from it for a couple years now. Etsy, is sort of like an ebay, but it's for only handmade things. An artisans website for all things handmade. It's really neat. Check it out by clicking here. You can check out my site on etsy, by clicking here or http://www.etsy.com/shop/hdunstan.

I also am working on a fashion show in Guelph. The CMESA business puts on a fashion show each year, with local artists and stores. This year they are going to have a choreographed number featuring my jewellery. Exciting!

It's snowing today, a lot! I was suppose to go to Guelph today to visit a friend, and get some new running shoes for working out...but the roads were just too bad. I am hoping winter ends soon. I miss the sun!
