Aprons Galore!

The world is obsessed with aprons right now!  All my favorite blogs have been featuring their favorite aprons.  Showing all the different uses for their different aprons, and how they aren’t just for the kitchen anymore!

With that in mind, I wish to share with you the aprons of ARTifacts Emporium!

Audrey’s Aprons have a traditional flair with the excitement of the new and more popular fabric patterns that are sought after.

Audrey also adds the small touches that remind us that while we are working – we are girls and a flower always makes us free pretty!

 

The next two aprons by Rebecca Sower are also all hand made.  What makes Rebecca’s designs special are the vintage fabrics she includes.  Quilt squares, vintage buttons, ribbon, old tea towels, hankies and more make each of her aprons unique.

While still keeping the feminine feel with the ruffle and vintage lace.

Relative Collections and The Dollhouse also have a great selection of vintage aprons. 

Aprons aren’t just for cooking anymore!  They are for crafting, playing, creating, and more!  You can also wear them just to feel pretty!  That is ok (encouraged really) too!

See you downtown!

New Vendor! Rebecca Sower

Rebecca Sower, I have long admired!  Her blog is full of beautiful creations that excite and calm me at  the same time.  When she finally called and said she was ready to have a booth here at ARTifacts – I was truly GIDDY with excitement. 

She moved in last week, and true to all I had envisioned from this amazing talent, her booth is full of wonderful surprises!Hand made journals made from new and vintage items.  Many embellished with unique images, photos, postcards, vintage lace, buttons, vintage ledger papers and more.

 

My photos of her apron creations didn’t turn out like I wanted, so I took this one from her blog – but it is here in our lil’ shop.

My favorite jewelry is taking old and making it new again.  Rebecca’s jewelry, just another of her creative collection – are made of just that.  Old keys, hotel key tags, vintage charms, pendants, buttons and more make up one of a kind jewelry.

Sweet linen lavender sachets to hang on your door knobs, dresser drawers – kids closets -

Goodies for scrapbooking, mixed media, creation and more!

Cameos for all needs, purposes, creations and reasons!

More goodies for the creative spark – vintage game pieces, steampunk bits and pieces, old poker chips, buttons, soda bottle tops, and….

More goodies for creating!

I hope you make it down today, tomorrow or in the coming week to see what wonderful goodies Rebecca has in her booth for you!

Remember – we are open on Sunday’s now from 12-4!  Come back tomorrow and Monday to learn about 2 additional new vendors that have joined us here at ARTifacts Emporium!

See you downtown!

Fun stuff at ARTifacts Emporium

I love vintage silk scarves – especially with all the fans we have running at the shop right now.  They just wave in the breeze so nicely, very poetic – but I am not not a poet – so I borrowed this one from  Linda Terrell’s poem called “Days gone by”.

Dad's new 57 chevy, red and white,
crusing through town, with envious delight,
mom's scarf blowing in the wind.
The 50's gone by, like an old family friend.

This is just one part of the entire poem, but here you can read the whole thing – pretty cool actually!

Anyway – Relative Collections has dozens of these scarves in their booth – and right now they are participating in the Sizzling Summer Sale – so the already great prices on these scarves, is even better now!

They also have new memo boards, perfect for all your back to school organizational notes and photos of the kids first day of school.  I just love this vintage fabric used to make these one of a kind memo boards. (also on sale!!)

More new arrivals!  These backpacks are a riot!  Many of them have different skull patterns on them – a couple glow in the dark!  So fun and all hand made.

Gail Meyer brought in another beauty!  And she has put an amazing price on it.  (I just showed it to my husband – hinted very strongly, not sure he got the hint….)

More new arrivals to share tomorrow – come back for more – and share this post on your blog/facebook/Google Buzz/Twitter – what ever!  Just added that so you can share things easy as pie!

See you downtown!
