Pumpkins, Halloween Garlands/Buntings & Coin Purses this Weekend at The Checkered Corner

Anita and Patrice of the Checkered Corner are getting ready for Fall.  They have invited me, Isa Creations Vintage, to bring some Halloween handcrafted items to the Checkered Corner this coming weekend located in historic downtown Littleton, 5650 S. Curtice St.  Thanks Anita & Patrice!

Since I sold out of 2 style of Halloween buntings at September's A Paris Street Market, I have been busy creating more of the same style just in time for this weekend.  Visit Checkered Corner's Facebook page here, and their blog here.

I also want to let everyone know my friend Amy, of the Pink Attic Cat, has been busy very packing all her vintage treasures as she prepares to move her shop to a different location.  The Pink Attic Cat will have it's new home just a block away from her old location in historic downtown Littleton.  The shop will RE-OPEN for her annual Holiday Open House.  I will post details as they become available or you can visit the Pink Attic Cat Facebook page for updates here

Here are some photos of Isa Creations Vintage items you will find this Thursday-Sunday at the Checkered Corner.

Fully Re-stocked on these style of Buntings previously sold out.

Thank You to Anita and Patrice of Checkered Corner

This week I will start to pack up the upstairs room at the Checkered Corner where up until this past weekend, it was home to Isa Creations.

Anita and Patrice have been wonderful to work with at the Checkered Corner.  I received a sweet card along with wonderful gifts:

This book of flower illustrations is one I wanted to purchase from the Checkered Corner.  I saw the book last week when I was setting up for last weekend's opening.  I called Anita last Friday morning, asked her to set it aside for me and told her I would pay her this week for it.

Imagine my surprise this morning, to find this book was now a gift from them! They both signed it on the inside with sweet  message from each of them. I love this book and love my little plant in this pretty tea cup set.

Thank you so much ladies!  I loved being a part of the Checkered Corner this past year.  I have learned much from you both and feel that I have grown as an artist and vendor this past year.

Best of all, I cherish my friendship with both Anita and Patrice and look forward to our friendship to continue to grow in the coming years. 

More Lined Zippered Bags - More J Wecker Frisch & Vintage Linens

I can't  stop sewing.   I have cut so many bags, I want to sew at least one of each.

  I should be working on a spreadsheet entering all my sales and expense data for Isa Creations for 2013

 BUT I am not.

Next week, I will start on the books next week...

In the meantime I keep on sewing, 

and cutting more fabric, fleece, interfacing, linings, matching bags with zippers

and

ordering more of my new favorite fabric...

J. Wecker Frisch's Handmaids Fabric

I need more fabric for the lining for my bags in progress.  It's a good thing I did because some of the fabric is sold out or very low inventory at Fabric.com

These bags are perfect for e-readers and or tablets.  They are lined with a layer of fusible fleece and interfacing for added support.  These are the bags I sewed last night and part of this morning:

My Nook reader inside this bag.

Back of the Nook reader bag

Larger size, about 11 x 11 inches.  This is the style I usually create for the iPad but it is wider than the lined zipper bags I create for the iPad.  I wanted to preserve as much of the girls design on the fabric.  

AND

A few more Vintage linen bags:

This bag will accommodate a reader like the Nook or Kindle Fire or anything else you like.  This is a one of a kind bag with the vintage embroidered linen + pink vintage Chenille.

Since I already have a room full of handmade items at the Checkered Corner, I decided to take my newest bags to the Pink Attic Cat.

The Checkered Corner is open today from 3-6.  It will be open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Please visit their blog for details on location and times.  This will be the last month I (Isa Creations) will be in the upstairs bedroom.  

After this weekend, most of my inventory will be packed up but will  become available again during shows throughout the year.  The first one will be in  late April.

Isa Creations will be a vendor at Sugar Plum Bazaar ... April 26th & 27

at A Paris Street Market ... May 3, June 7, September 6, October 4th  ( I will not be there during the July and August dates)

And

for the first time, I will be a vendor at

Old Glory Antiques Fair  June 13 & 14 in Clement Park

And 

A small sampling of items will be available at the Pink Attic Cat throughout the year.

Hopefully, I will get my act together and add new items to my Etsy shop, Isa Creations Vintage.  which has been seriously neglected by me.

Vintage Linen Lined Zippered Bags

The Checkered Corner will be open Thursday from 3 - 6p.m. and on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Visit their blog for details on time and location.

Here is a preview of Isa Creations in the upstairs bedroom at the Checkered Corner.  This will be my last month at the Checkered Corner. 

A vintage vinyl tablecloth re-purposed into a bag.  It is lined with a Black cotton print with white french script and a layer of  fleece for extra support.

AND,

These are the vintage linen zippered bags you will find at the Pink Attic Cat , located at 2555 W. Alamo in downtown Littleton.  Visit the Pink Attic Cat's  Facebook page, where you will find many photos from the shop, here.

These are my new vintage lined zippered bags:

Perfect for pencils, art supplies and even cash for vendors  who do shows.  Added a glass ladybug or bee to the zipper pull.

Added  a rhinestone heart to the zipper pull.

Closeup of this vintage print... love it!

Roses...perfect for a Valentine gift.

I have more of these vintage linen bags cut, just waiting for me to get focused and sew them.  I will be working as a substitute teacher this afternoon and most likely go estate sale shopping tomorrow.  Getting at least one of each  type of vintage linen bag was an accomplishment.

Plus, I have to make time to work on my Schedule C for my taxes.   I have been sewing instead of taking care of the "books."   I really don't enjoy entering all my sales and expense receipts onto a spreadsheet.  I do this every year.  Every year I tell myself to do this data entry monthly.... not yearly!  Why do I wait and save all the data entry at the very end?   The accountant in me is not happy with me.
