Yes they can!
Along with being in the next issue of Peppermint Magazine... (yes, it has been delayed, again - hopefully I get my copy today or Monday!)
That Vintage has scored a spot in the next issue of Frankie Magazine!
(Due for release 16th December.)
This is the cover of the latest issue.
When the next issue is out, I will update with the new cover!
DREAM COME TRUE!
Oh man Oh man OH MAN!
Where are the hours going?
I am working my fingers to the bone, getting ready for The Niche Market as well as finishing up some wholesale orders too.
I am going to be super duper "prepared" for The Niche Market. No joke.
I ran out of red and black ribbon for the Wrap Bangles... so I decided to be a bit adventurous (and colourful!)...
Tangerine, Grape & Watermelon.
These three colours are so HOT! I am tempted to keep them all, but seriously, what would I do with nine bangles? I would look a bit strange wearing them all at once. But how awesome are these summery hues? I can't wait to see them truck out at the market! *wink wink!*
This may seem like an interesting photograph... yes.
I told you that I was getting really "prepared" for The Niche Market.
BAM!
263 pairs of button earrings.
Surely that'll do me for the three day event?!
AHHH!
Back to getting more blisters upon blisters.
I am rather flat chat at the moment.
But here is a quick little sneak peak of the bits and pieces that I have been working on - ready for The Niche Market next weekend!
(I can't believe it is almost here... where has the time gone!)
Masses of wooden brooches.
At the last Niche Market, I sold out of the Pair Of Birds brooch - doubt that will happen this time as I have nearly 60 made up... haha over kill? Perhaps!
For those of you who love the Rabbit and the Wren, you can now get them in the oval brooch!
...maybe no Chicken Dinner, but there certainly is a Winner Winner!
I had to consult my man for help with this one, as I was stuck with way too much party food going around in my head. Cheezels on fingers, little savaloys and buckets of tomato sauce, musk sticks, fairy bread, licorice allsorts, ice cream cake... and lots of fizzy (bad!) drink - drooling yet? I am!
Just like when you play Pass-The-Parcel or Pin The Tail On The Donkey ...or even have an Egg & Spoon Race at your party, there can only be one winner. (Unless tears well up and the children throw tantrums - that is the only time when everyone is a winner... please, no tantrums! I can't deal with that!)
Congratulations to lucyrouge - the re-telling of your Craft Party memories made me long for Macaroni Necklaces and Fingerpaint... oh and you totally nailed it with the Ninja Turtles - way to go! Which one were you? I always wanted to be Rafaello!
"My most memorable birthday was my 9th when I had a CRAFT PARTY. It was awesome. We made potpourri and lace wall hangers and these little 3D pictures using double-sided tape. I think there was also some sort of intense icy pole stick and PVA glue construction going on. For my present everyone brought me a little something to go in my craft box. I got the cutest buttons and lots of lace and even some puff paint (so cool in the early 90's). So yes, that was my most memorable birthday... until the next year when I had a Ninja Turtles party."
The Wren Earrings are all yours Lucy! Thanks to everyone who entered it and helped celebrate my birthday through reminicsing! Next Giveaway will be sprinkled with tinsel and the big echoey sounds of "Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Keep an eye out for this cover, which will be out this week.
Pick it up, smell it, touch it, savour it, flick through it...
And spot That Vintage!
Yes!
First time ever to grace the pages of a magazine.
Truly buzzing!

*Giveaway is now closed! Thankyou for all your memorable entries! Winner will be announced shortly..*
It feels like years since I last blogged. In reality it has been maybe... two weeks? I have been to New Zealand and back... and I've also gotten a year older in that time - I am now twenty-three! Phew. The year is truly flying!
As promised (and slightly delayed) I am celebrating my Birthday... but the catch is that one of YOU will score the gift!
Up for grabs is one of the newest That Vintage designs.
To get your hands on these cute little tweetin' darlings for your ear lobes, all you need to do is the following:
Tell me about your most memorable childhood birthday: How old were you? Did you have a party or a sleep over or a trip to the movies? Did you nail the tail on the donkey first go? What were in your lolly bags? Best cake/worst cake? Tears and tantrums? Please include your email address in your entry!
Giveaway closes on Monday 16th November - winner will be notified by blog entry and email.
Let loose party animals and help me celebrate my Birthday by entering this give away!
It is a known fact that my family has the "hoarder" vibe going on... my dad has a whole room (almost the length of the house) full to the ceiling with drums, kits, cymbals and other percussion instruments.
As for me, I collect buttons. It started when I started working at my retail job - and I would find buttons on the shop floor which had fallen out of the spare button bag... we have a bag in one of the draws at the counter, which we put all the abandoned spare buttons in.
One day, probably in Spring, the store was getting a slight clean out... and all the buttons were destined for the rubbish bin. I could let it happen. Their little holey faces were sad at the thought of the rubbish bin. So I adopted them. And a million others.
I came across Kellie Christie's blog via another blog via another blog - I'm sure you know how it is!
What she does with buttons is truly amazing and oh so fun!
I decided that my box of buttons was going to waste... so I bundled them up and posted them to Kellie. I knew she'd justify the bright colours and muted tones... rather than just leaving them in a box, forgotten about!
In return she sent me a lovely bracelet and necklace in the yummiest of colours - caramel, rust and chocolate ... (No photo's at the moment, my camera is definitely not loving life...)
Head to Kellie's blog to check out her amazing creations and colour combos!
This is the cover of the latest issue.
