Vintage Inspired: i-Vintage Tech Gift

Nerd alert! I lost my phone last week, and since my old one was getting pretty shabby, I opted for the ubiquitous iphone. Yes I am now living the i-life. At the store, the case selection was grim, so I came home and immediately started a search for vintage inspired/adorable iphone cases.

These would be great gifts for the i-lover in your life, but how to choose? From London floral to Paris unmentionables, soft leather, hard bamboo and repurposed vintage fabrics, choices abound!

Repurposed Vintage Fabrics, Yay!

Colors That Compliment

I am really loving robin egg blue and gold this year for holiday colors. It is so perfectly classic without being traditional. I found all these antique bulbs at an estate sale, and fell in love. I didn't realize how much of these colors I already had in my apartment until I started taking pictures of them. What colors are creeping up in your place?

The Happenings: Black Friday

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Black Friday is tomorrow. So in honor of the biggest shopping day, I am giving my top five favorite local shops for reused, vintage, repurposed and handmade gifts! Of course you can always make things yourself and stay warm and cozy at home!

5. Hunt & Gather - This adorable shop is full of great housewares, from decorations and pillows to tables and chairs. Every nook has something surprising.

 4. Electric Fetus- Great record shop that carries a variety of local bands. You are sure to find some amazing music. Bonus, they are having a 20% off "Black Friday" sale!

3. Crafty Planet- I often go in this shop just to look at the beautiful fabrics. For that crafty person, the gift of a sewing class is just the thing!

2. The Wild Rumpus- Local bookstore, dedicated to kids, is the perfect place to pick up that children's classic to read with a young person in your life.

1. Rewind! - One of my all time favorite Minneapolis vintage clothing shops, they are always stocked full to the brim, and I never leave without dropping a large sum of money. Their accessories are incredible, the perfect place to find a gift for that special someone. . . or to re-vamp your own wardrobe for the Holiday season.

Of course, if you can wait a few weeks check out the Mighty Swell sale! We will have tons of gifts and party clothes, a little something for everyone.




Happy crafting, shopping, and thrifting!

The Shop: Favorite Piece of The Week

This hat is so great! I love the velour texture and the color is impossibly great. The details of this vintage hat are perfection. I can't wait to see the lucky person who falls in love with this hat as much as I have.

Repurposed: Little Black Dress

Using one black dress, a lot of donated accessories, and spoonfuls of creativity, this woman raised enough money for 287 children to go to school! Check out The Uniform Project.
