My New Blog!

OK I'm really going to try hard to post on this thing and my other blog ValentinasVintage. We'll see how well that goes...

Just opened up a new Etsy shop called SewValentina. I figured it would be good to separate my vintage goods from my handmade stuff. And I've gotten really into making these cute mini messenger bags. Since my big handbags have to sell for SO much, I spend literally days on them, these don't!

A little something about me: I've been sewing, designing and doing artwork since I was young. I've also been collecting stuff most of my adult life. I got my love of all things vintage from my Grandmother and my Mom. I have NO idea where I got my love of kitsch from...must have been some weird old great Aunt! I was definitely not brought up with plastic slipcovers, TV lamps or Keane Big Eyed Paintings! Why the heck do I like that stuff???

So, this is a work in progress...please check back often to see what I just made!!!!!!!!!!
