Spring Bonza.

Yesterday afternoon, I launched a Spring Bonza sale on the That Vintage Imprinted Clay Earrings - in designs that aren't available in stores or online!  Boy, it was one heck of a bonza, the different colour and print combination sets got snapped up super duper fast!
There are only two sets remaining, so I decided to put them into the Etsy store and see what happens... if they get snapped up relatively quickly, I might bring back the Bonza for another event!
It is so nice to be working with colour again, now that the winter blues are subsiding...

Bright And Cheery.

Well... as I opened up the blog to begin writing this entry, the view outside looked like a bright "Spring" day, but as soon as I began typing, the clouds came over and the idea of Spring is once again, pushed away. 
Being in the thick of winter, sometimes you can find yourself in a little bit of a stinky funk.  The type of stinky funk that rains on your normal happy parade full of energy, inspiration and all things happy.  I love winter, I love the cooler weather, wearing knits, snuggling under warm blankets with my kitty and sipping cup after cup of tea.
But I am well and truly ready for Spring and all the goodness it brings.
The new.
The fresh.
The bright.

As I wrap up some orders from this weekend, I notice my own colour palate has begun to change - bold snaps of hot pink and sun-shining yellow have drawn me towards them, leaving the muted grey and brown tones behind.  
Change is coming... bring it!
Happy Sunday everyone x

Who Doesn't Love Colour.

 

I am a sucker for colour, I mean, who isn't?  I swing between neutrals like khaki and fawn, to bright licks of chartreuse and watermelon, oh and of course my colour crush of fresh mint and the occasional hint of mustard.  My wardrobe sometimes looks like a rainbow threw up in it (nice visual huh!) but I almost always wear black on my bottom half.  Yep, keep it simple down low, go nuts up top - and it works; not only does something always go with a pair of black skinny jeans, but tops are relatively a lot cheaper than bottoms!

So, with this intense love of colour and experimenting with mixing hues together, I have finally... yes, finally, finalised the complete colour range available with the That Vintage Imprinted Clay Earrings.
The list of colours:
Cement Grey, Mustard Yellow, Sage Green, Sunshine Yellow, Tangerine Orange, Electric Blue, Caramel Brown, Sky Blue, Lipstick Pink, Fresh Mint, Lavender Purple, Musk Pink, Cherry Red and Baby Blue.  Phew!
And available in four prints... for now...
Sweet Dove, Morocco, Valentine Vine and Fan.
I believe this range will grow shortly... *hint hint*

Rolling Away.

The last few days, the strong smell of freshly cut wooden pieces has filled the That Vintage workspace - my thumb is stained with the smell also from rolling off the pieces of protective tape from the wood.
It is also pretty neat doing this process; I'm pretty much in love with Tasmanian Myrtle - it is warm in colour and has such a great dark undertone, which makes it perfect for cutting and engraving!
Just look at that contrast!
