Cabin Fever thoughts !

This are a few of my favorite things! First picture: vintage wallpaper, Oh how I adore vintage wallpaper! Then mix them with the painted lace frames and voila, pretty funky wallart. What else could I possibly want, oh I know, time to play!!!

I also like to share the basket full of wallpaper and fabrics,some are new and some are old but they all look so good together, what to do? So many projects so litle time!

And that is a little peek I wanted to share with you, now I will head back to my studio, for some good fun work!

Keep checking our blog our new class schedule will be posted by Friday Jan. 14th, I promise!

We will be posting pictures with samples from most of our classes

and many other great additions coming soon! ... Judith...

New Beginnings

Hoping you had a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year.

Time to start the new year fresh and organized. We've consolidated all the holiday goodies,and marked them down for quick sale.

It's time to see what we have, decide what we need and get moving on re-arranging and creating new inspired spaces. (in our homes too)

Fresh displays and our class schedule are first on the Bloomsbury to-do list. It's a perfect time of year to learn something new, and enjoy the process of creating.

Time to get to work.

A Precious Holiday Find

Forget about red and green for Christmas....Pink is the color of the season.

I just love, love, love this bottle brush wreath I found a couple months ago antique shopping!

It had an ugly plastic red ribbon that I took right off and replaced with this sheer pink.

Nothing should take away from the wreaths pure vintage beauty.

It's going to be a Merry Christmas....and white too!

Making a list and checking it twice....

Buttons,

keys,

trinkets,

vintage girl tags,

typewriter keys,

beads and crystals,

hand made fabric flowers,

vintage chain,

and misc. findings...

everything is packed and ready for the trinket bracelet class.

and the results were beautiful!

I'm so used to sitting alone and working at my jewelry table. It was so much fun to enjoy the beauty of the littlest things with my students.

Great fun to look through bowls of buttons and trinkets to pick out just the right treasures that tell your own little story. It made them stop and think about some of the goodies at home they could add to their bracelets.


The next scheduled date for this class is December 14th.
Two spots are still available...
Tonight's class with Judith...resin pendants

It's just so fun to sit around and create!!

I loved it as much as the students!

And.....

Also@ the show we had the talented Sally Cook from Less Miss - Fashion Art. Hair accessories, scarves, broches and everything with that vintage flair we love. She also has this stunning wedding hair pieces that are out of this world. I think I want to get marry again so that I can wear one of this beauties. You just have to see them to believe how beautiful they are. We are featuring her things together with our other trunk show artists until the end of this month, if you know anyone getting married this is a must see!

The countdown begins....

Our holiday open house was so fun! So many of our customers came to spend the evening with us. And the invited artists did not disappoint.

Handmades were overflowing all around the shop.

Clutches, clutches, clutches. So many patterns to choose from.

Great for holiday parties.

Great pillows

Game boards reinvented into message boards.

The attention to detail is amazing, and the treasure hunting required to find all the sweet little accessories...how fun!

Paper deli had great items....

love these little jars filled with ribbon and random little trinkets.

I want a pantry full.

Proud students with their finish product, these two girls were having a lot of fun!

Classes Underway

Calling all princesses..... Your crown is ready!

These classes have been so much fun!!

The creativity is amazing. Put a few people together with "goodies" for projects and the result is always good. So fun to sit and enjoy the company of others while you create something new...something that is all you.

We'll keep adding dates for existing classes and new projects as we get our thoughts together.

This trinket bracelet class on Wednesday, December 2nd is a great class for a special accessory.

Lots of options for vintage buttons and pieces of vintage jewelry.

Hopefully, our students will bring something of their own to add a personal touch.

Come and be inspired...

Calling all artists and crafty girls!

CALLING ALL ARTISTS!

Calling all friends, creators and makers of pretty things!

Bloomsbury Loft is hosting a series of trunk shows featuring some of our special creative friends and makers of pretty things. I am so excited about this and can't wait to hear from all of you creative people out there. If you think that you have what it takes to put on a show or teach a class, just give us a call, we would like to share and celebrate Indie business people that have a passion for creating things, finding treasures or that have a talent that they would like to share at our series of trunk shows and classes. So don't wait if you are serious and have a passion for what you do, or know someone that is great at what they do and give us a call, as our spaces are limited.

The Country Living Fair

Hi Sarah....(Country Living Editor-in-Chief)

Thank you for wearing one of our handmade blossoms.

She was sweet. Hope to see more of her in the future.

Our tent was full of fun and energy the entire weekend!
It was so exciting! So many people.
We loved the opportunity to introduce our store to so many.

We're still trying to recuperate from so much activity.

The truck has been unloaded and now we are left to sort, arrange and display.

Of course, we're going to need to get moving on more creating and shopping.

But first things first, time to get the shop in order.

We're hoping to see some of our new "friends" from the show.

A little peek inside

The show is fantastic!

The weather is great!

We love our space!

Two more days of bliss, and total exhaustion.

More to come....(too tired to think of anything to write)
