First day of camp, at least for me! It's the leadership team weekend where all the heads meet and get ready for staff to arrive at camp. I'm all ready super busy and sleepy.

For now camp will take over and I will only be able to blog two to three times a week. So, sadly I will not be updated as often as I usually am and I will also not be creating as much. I will however try to keep things as interesting as I can while living in the camp bubble.

Vintage: For Dad

I'm am doing vintage finds today instead of tomorrow as I may be in New Jersey tomorrow on camp Business.

Today's inspiration behind Vintage Finds is my dad. Father's Day is this Sunday and I must admit I'm daddy's little girl. Here are items that my dad, or any dad would love to get as gifts!

Clapotis II

Here is my second Clapotis! I tried something new and knit eyelet lace in the 5 stitch spaces of knits and purls. I love how it looks. I'm almost done, the yarn is a silk bamboo blend that i am just in love with.

Just a Quick One

Today is my last day babysitting for the summer. It will be a long one as one of the boys has a half day so I must be off soon to pick him up from school.

As for the spring cleaning Simon and I have decided to do that on Monday. I wanted to gop surfing, but Simon said it wouldn't be worth our time as the waves are going to be small. So I must wait two weeks for another chance to go surfing. *sigh*

I did however start packing for camp.

Thursday

My coffee, this cloudy muggy morning, is quite strong and wonderful.
It looks like rain and a part of me wants it to rain so that I can wear my new rain coat that I found at the thrift store. It's amazing! It's vintage, teal and the lining has little blue whales on it and since it was at the thrift store and not the vintage shop I got it for only one dollar. Now I don;t have to wear Simon's extra waterproof jacket when it rains.

I did get some work done yesterday. I edited my items in my etsy shop and I even sewed something. Now all I need to do is take pictures. The items are starting to pile up and I haven't had time, or the weather hasn't cooperated. Also our tiny apartment is being over taken by all my stash and inventory. It's time to finally do that spring cleaning Simon and I were talking about.

I am off to work soon for a few hours and then I have the afternoon off so I think I'll get started on that cleaning.

Vintage: Off to Camp!

During the summer Simon and I leave the noise hot city for 9 weeks and move out to middle of nowhere south Jersey. Out there in middle of nowhere south Jersey is a wonderful summer camp where we both work and teach. It's an arts camp for ages 9 to 17 and when I say arts camp I don't mean arts and crafts and sing a longs (although we do have those too), but a full blown curriculum of visual arts, Music, Dance, Theatre, Theatre Tech (which is what I'm in charge of), and Video. It's an amazing place to be and one of my favorite places to work and live. With this in mind today's vintage finds are inspired by this wonderful place dedicated to teaching art.
