More new goodies from Wanda June!

Wanda just came by to swap out the summer stock for some new fall hats and dresses and as usual, they are fantastic! Come check them out!

What's new at Sew Dandee!

Melanie of Papertrail Craft Co. brought in a bunch more of her beautiful all occasion cards today!


And I've been busy in the card making factory, too! I'm all over using vintage house wife images lately. Here's what I've come up with so far.


Just to clarify, I do NOT support husband abuse.




These cards come from the fact that I'm getting on in years and want to remind people that we can't stay pretty forever but we can stay lovable!




And I've got a couple new switch plates to show you too! Just in time for Halloween, I've got our favourite sexy blood suckers and our favourite serial killer.

I recently acquired some fantastic vintage postcards from my Mom-in-law and they've inspired a new line of cards. I get great pleasure from seeing an innocent photograph of a loving couple and bringing out the rude, naughty thoughts that I imagine them REALLY thinking! Sick, I know but that's who I am. When it comes to making my cards, anyway.

F.Y.I. If you click on the picture you'll see it larger so you can read the text a bit easier.



That's just the beginning! Much more to come. And I've already started making my Christmas cards but I'm holding off until after Thanksgiving before I switch over to full on Christmas mode. It's twenty five frickin' degrees outside! Christmas should be the LAST thing on our minds right now!

Fall Clothing Swap at Sew Dandee!


Is your closet overflowing with clothes & shoes that just aren't getting the love they deserve? Clear them out and replenish your wardrobe at the Sew Dandee Fall Clothing Swap! Before Tuesday October 19th, bring at least 10 of your freshly laundered, stain and hole free gently worn items to the store along with $15 to register for some swapping good times!

The swap will take place at Sew Dandee on Wednesday October 20th from 6pm to 8pm. $15 gets you all the clothes your heart desires from the collection gathered for the swap. Plus there will be a sale on all the Sew Dandee Treasures Gently Worn Clothing just for the swappers. The last two swaps were a great success and this one is sure to be even better!

Spread the word and start ransacking your closet today! Items can be brought in to Sew Dandee Monday thru Friday between 10am and 6pm up until Tuesday October 19th.

LET’S GET OUR SWAP ON!

My latest project: Crocheted Ear Muffs!

So, I've been experimenting with making some cool ear muffs for the chilly season that's fast approaching and here's what I've come up with so far!




I've been wearing my first pair under my bike helmet on my way to work in the morning and they're awesome for keeping the howling wind noise and cold out of my ears.

Keep in mind I can make you a custom pair too. I plan on making some with more appliques and button embelishments. And I hope to work on a pair of hamburger ear muffs at Where the Wool Things Are's knit night this Thursday! If you're a knitter or crocheter like me, come down to this great shop for good crafts, snacks and great conversation on Thursday nights from 5pm to 9pm in The Exchange.
