Modern Primitives

Sometimes the things you need for todays modern home are best found in the past. Like, some brass numbered key rings? Vintage indian blankets? How about a OOAK Ambercrombie leather donkey for $750? Go to www.threepotatofourshop.com and you will find all of this as well as wire locker baskets to keep it neat

Saturday plans

Antique Helper always has stellar like big time mid mod designer pieces at their monthly auctions. Saturday is no excpetion. This is one of my favorite pieces coming up: 1 of a set of three Samsonite suitcase salesman samples. Stripes! See also: Murakami skate deck and a 1957 Studebaker. As in car. Saturday May 15th E 55th place 10 am Start your day at the Herron Morton huge neighborhood sale that day. I'm just throwing up some kids stuff and some large kitchen appliances. Nothing cool at all here but surely someone will have some swag

Dollhouse Fashion Camp

For me summer camp was a horror. I don't like outside and that really the only kind there was back in the olden days. Now you can put your kids in practically any specialty kind of summer program you can imagine including this year... FASHION CAMP. My 13 year old self would have just DIED I tell you. Tricee B of Black Apple Boutique and Styling has put together a 3 week DollHouse Fashion Camp for summer with seminars on sewing, runway, collection development and hopefully hair and make up. Right up there with Girl's Rock Band Camp in ultra amazing fabulousness. Call 507-6942 for details

Jo Malone's latest

Yes I fell prey to lure of the scent pods in the SFA catalog and had to snap up some Jo Malone Necterine Honey cologne today. I love subtle, unusual, not too sweet stuff that I can layer with other perfume all day long. And of course being Saks, it took them ten times longer to package it in the bag with a double bow and tissue then it did for me to say "I'll take it". But props to the Vuitton department, they fixed my ancient Speedy's zipper for free. Maybe it got a senior discout

Derby Party Practice

Soooooo sad to miss the Hats Off Fashion Arts Society luncheon at the IMA this week but I had a very good excuse which involves the word "Brain" and "Surgery" so I think it's a good one. Anyhoo the kick ass jewelry designer Allison Ford won the best in show for her wooden whimsy (photo stolen from Nikki Sutton's facebook page thanks girl) and I love that this was a fashion oriented guest participation event and hope it will be gateway drug to masquerade parties on a weekly basis in Indianapolis
