The Letterpress Series

Saturday I kidnapped Jeff and we invaded The Distillery for the evening!! (this is also the place where I shot some of my first etsy photos!) I work with a really sweet girl who happens to live in the most amazing space and she was so kind enough to let us spend the evening shuffling things around and setting up lights in all the little nooks of her loft.
My original idea for the clothing for this series ended up taking a totally different turn - I have this amazing black dress I wanted to use and was thinking I'd pair it with pretty cream dresses and fur collars - but then I found the dress with the pockets and stripes and instead I was inspired by the the bright colors of a carnival .. and also the small town ladies and children who get dressed up to go to a carnival!
I had plans to sell everything, but as soon as I put those dresses on I couldn't part with them! So, as of right now I'm being a greedy little thing and holding onto them - BUT, there are a few other pieces I had picked out that we didn't get to photograph that will be going onto etsy within the week (or maybe weekend!) so be sure to check there for them! (including a really adorable purple wiggle dress, and a great red pseudo-tuxedo/ascot style blouse)

Baked Fresh!

I'm still sort of recuperating from Baked Fresh. It was such a long but fun day and the lovely folks who put it on did such an amazing job with finding sponsors, great vendors, and making sure lots of people came to shop around!!

When I was shopping on ebay for a tent I saw this silly yellow thing and knew it had to be that one! It was a really grey cold day but when you were in the tent there was this lovely yellowy glow on everything. I guess that's probably not the best thing to have when shopping - but I certainly didn't mind being in there all day!

I still have a lot of clothing left over, so hopefully there will be another Mass Market at Mass Art or maybe I'll lug that tent out again and do a SOWA market before the season is over!

PS If you see something that sparks your interest or you saw something at the market you liked and didn't buy - let me know! I'll check and see if I still have it and send pics/more specifics your way!

sneak

I'm alive, I swear! The past three weeks have been a total blur - seasonal/job/life transitions have taken up all of my time and it hasn't left too much room for the computer (this was that period of quietness I talked about before) But, here's a little sneak of the 1385 plans I keep hinting at. I wanted to get everything online by Sunday - but we ran out of light and this weekend is supposed to be all grey skies and rain clouds - so I'm hoping to get everything all set and ready to go for Thursday or Friday!

PS New England: Don't forget, Baked Fresh is October 5th. I'll be there under a bright yellow tent and there's going to be a whole slew of other lovely vendors - so please, please come visit! I'm excited - but until then, I have the longest to do list.... ah!

I think this is going to be the last of the ebay auctions for the next few weeks. I have something good in the works though, just trust me on it!!

(I'm cheating in one of the photos for the little sundress listing - I'm tilting my head back so my hair looks longer then it is.Hair, please grow faster...)






oh, and also - boy shoes!

1385 - ebay - tonight!

I decided to skip etsy this week and put everything onto ebay! I'm getting faster at it.. (but still - I mostly work at a snail's pace) There's also some etsy leftovers on there, so in case anyone was wondering where those things went - head over to ebay!

oh, ebay

I decided to try it out again and put some things on there…. I sure do need the practice. It took me an hour for each listing… I gave up and went to be after the 4th one. But, just to let everyone know - there will be another ebay listing next Wednesday, and then a BIG etsy update on July 4th! (And I still need to do some catch up work with tales of California!)

And yes, I’m selling that lovely button dress… I don’t wear it enough and I know another girl out there will love it to pieces!

tomorrow's etsy listings

Only a teeny tiny etsy update for tomorrow. The past weekend was crazy, and working full time at a "real" job only allows for a few hours per night to take photos before it gets dark... it can be frustrating that I can't do Thirteen Eighty-Five full time... but I'm working on a balance of some sort.. kind of?

Anyway, I'll be listing that stuff tomorrow evening right before I leave for a long weekend trip! (more about that soon!)
I'll be brining my computer with me, but I have no idea what the internet situation will be like - I'm sorry ahead of time if anyone has any questions! Oh, and any purchases made after 12:00 PM EDT tomorrow will be shipped on Wednesday - double sorry!!

thirteen eighty-five and etsy!

Finally, there are things in that shop!!!
Not everything is listed yet, I've been working on this all day (from 9:30-12:30 with only meal breaks, okay - and a bubble tea break too!!!)

I promised myself that this blog wouldn't turn into a place for me to post photos of stuff for sale, but I'm just really happy with the way these photos turned out - and it's my first shop update, so I hope you'll forgive me!
