Part Six: Sunflowers!

One incredible Sunday Brian and I headed down to Buttonwood Farm in Griswold, Connecticut to check out this farm where they plant fields and fields of sunflowers to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. We had so much fun frolicking in the cheerful blooms and eating delicious ice cream which they make on the farm. We also stopped at some interesting/scary and decrepid old antique places on the way where I happened to score some pretty awesome deadstock vintage jewelry. Per-fect day!!

Part Five: Fidget Finds The Shop

Fidget Finds rocked and rolled all summer long. I worked just about everyday in my super busy little vintage shop but couldn't have done it without the help of Mia, my bubbly redhead employee/intern who goes to FIT. I hope she learned as much from me as I did from her. I also started selling at Design Hive, and indie designer/craft/vintage mart held the first Sunday of the month in Cambridge, MA. These shows have been incredibly successful for me and are a great way for me to keep in touch with my friends in the Boston area. Come see me there on December 6!! I also started my own line of skirts and dresses made out of vintage fabrics. They were made in small batches, and the majority of them are one of kind. Most flew off the shelves but there are a few skirts still available in my Etsy. shop. Get ready for more styles next spring!!

Part Four: I Turned 26!

I was so excited to go to Block Island and of course it rained all day (like it did every other day in July) but my wonderful boyfriend had a plan B: the Museum of Fine Art in Boston and an early dinner at my favorite vegan Vietnamese restaurant, The Grasshopper, in Allston. The day was complete with gifts of owl clocks, cool books, and hairy tailed turtles. The weekend before I hosted a dinner party at my favorite restaurant (and place of employment) Perro Salado in Newport. There was dancing to Honky Tonk on the patio and mucho margaritas. Yum and yum.
