Dime Store Chic

Is It Spring Yet?

Hello, My Friends!~~

 

My goodness, it's cold out there! Hubby and me are heading very far south in mid-February to do some birding and visit good friends. We will return at the beginning of March. Maybe winter will be over then?

Dime Store Chic will be open during that time while I'm away but orders will go out the first week of March. In the meantime, I'm staying warm and cozy in the studio crafting LOTS, and I mean, LOTS of vintage Easter cheer! These one-of-a-kind goodies will be available in the shop early March (date TBA)!

Orders placed from now until February 12th are ready to ship! Orders placed after February 12th will be mailed out the first week of March. Thank you!

A Wintertime Holiday and Winter Wonderland

Hello, My Friends!~~

My studio is in the basement of our 1950's house. I have one little window that I can open to let in fresh air and bird song as the feeders are not too far away in the back yard. Today I'm only opening the window to let you see the weather outside. Wet, heavy snow. Lots of it. But oh so pretty.

 

Valentine's Day, like Christmas, is a winter holiday. I have to remind myself of that.

I also want to let you that any orders for the vintage Love Day cheer in Dime Store Chic placed AFTER Wednesday, January 5th will be shipped out on Tuesday, January 18th.

Mr. Dime Store Chic and I are heading out to do some coastal winter birding in North Carolina. I've added a photo I took in winter 2020 of a Common Eider seen just off shore in the Atlantic Ocean. It's great to see the shorebirds and waterfowl that spend winter down here!

Thank you SO much for stopping by Dime Store Chic! Stay warm!

End of Year Letter To You and NEW Listings Annoucement!

Hello, My Friends!~~

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

 

I hope this finds you and yours enjoying the wonder and kinship of this holiday season and the eager anticipation of 2022.

 

Speaking of 2022 there will a couple of changes coming to Dime Store Chic. The first change is that I am no longer adding craft shows to my schedule. That means that Dime Store Chic will have my complete attention with lots of vintage cheer to celebrate the seasons. The second change is that I’ll be adding lots of creations to the shop on a seasonal basis, rather than more frequently, but these listings will have lots for you choose from.

 

The first seasonal listing of the New Year is actually going live on December 30th of this year. Please pardon my enthusiasm as I announce the addition of LOTS of vintage Valentine’s Day cheer coming to Dime Store Chic at 5 p.m. EST on Thursday, December 30th! So much fun season of love cheer for your home or for your gift giving! This is the only time I’ll add new Valentine’s Day creations to this shop for 2022, but there will be a lot of choices for you as well as some fun vintage goodies in the Dime Store Chic Yard Sale section of the shop! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you see something you like.

 

Have a joyful holiday season and a fabulous new year!

Buy and Brag: Rare Finds...for Me Anyway :)

Hello, My Friends!~~

I usually don't do a "loot shoot" or " a buy and brag" (whatever you call it), as I store anything I buy for future craft projects soon after I get home and these purchases are eventually revealed in the pieces that I make for Dime Store Chic Recently I attended an estate sale that blew me away as the former homeowner was a crafter and kept anything he/she didn't use for all of these years. I was grateful that the company running the sale didn't toss out these bits n' pieces to make room for the fancier wares, and they sold this lot and more at incredibly reasonable prices. It is a rare thing for me to find any vintage Halloween crafting supplies. But look at these wonderful spun cotton picks. They are great in design and effect, so whimsical and funny. I look forward to future projects with them and am very grateful to have them. This is the most wonderful time of the year---magical! (Thank you for letting me show off.)

On The Work Table

Hello, My Friends!~~

My work table. The color pallet is similar to Christmas but it’s not Christmas crafting as you can tell from a few details. I adore Christmas crafting, but I’ve been crafting the Ho Ho holiday cheer since January of this year. Time to switch things up creatively. Fun changes coming to Dime Store Chic in the New Year!
