Last week “Curby’s Closet” had it’s first TRUNK SHOW!! It was SO FUN and was hosted at the lovely home of my sweet friend Heather. She was so accomidating and it was a great evening. I brought with me my good friend Melissa (seems like we’ve known each other forever) to give me a hand. She is awesome!! She even brought a yummy Apple crisp for refreshments. How wonderful was that?

We set up the house with racks of all the soft, sweet, beautiful vintage baby dresses. I also brought with me my NEW Vintage Style Quilted Baby Shoes. They were a hit! They looked so adorable on the little baby feet! I brought my mothers Baby Blankets (they are always crowd pleasers) and some teddy bears dressed in vintage clothing too.
Take a look at the photos below and you can get a feel for what the evening looked like.

Heather has wonderful friends and it was a delight to meet each of them and to see them love and appreciate the vintage clothing. The dresses are lovely in the photos, but they are “to die for” in person. The soft colors and the delicate detail work on these heirloom pieces is just fantastic!! Many are handmade and have been preserved so well it is just amazing! To me each piece has a sweet history of decades or of times gone by.

I will be adding many of these dresses, shoes and blankets on my ETSY STORE this week. So please feel free to take a look. Most of my clothing is from Newborn to 9 months, but I do sell some things for 12mo. to 2T. So keep checking back things change and sell all the time.

For those of you who have online stores or little businesses. You might want to try home “TRUNK SHOWS” they are very fun and profitable. It’s always a plus to do all you can to get your name out there and to show your products to your customers. It sure was for me, and thanks to Heather and Melissa… we were able to pull off a great one!! Thanks gals so much!! I love ya!

HAPPY 4th of JULY everyone!!

What a wonderful day to think of all our freedoms and blessings. What a wonderful day to think about all the brave men and women who serve and protect our great country!! THANK YOU ALL!!

It’s also a great day for decorating and breaking out all our red, white and blue. Be sure to fly the flag!!

For doll and bear collectors it’s always fun to dress our special little treasures in holiday wear. So, I decided to make a fun table scape by using my sweet bear friend “Bear-stie Ross” to help celebrate Independence Day!

It’s really fun to dress these cute bears and dolls in vintage baby clothing. This little bear is wearing an adorable 1950’s red cotton dress with white collar and cuffs and the most terrific white smocking across the chest.

Tie a sweet bow on her head and cluster birdhouses, flowers, and of course lots of flags and you’ve got a very amazing and unique centerpiece. Your family and friends will be very impressed. And you can have a great excuse to show off that darling doll or bear that you love so much. This kind of display would be perfect for your buffet table, coffee table, a picnic table, an entry way, on your front or back porch, or anywhere you’d like to add a little holiday spirit.

Remember vintage clothing always makes dressing your bear, doll or baby and memorable experience.

So think VINTAGE!!
