Every year after Christmas I always feel creatively burned out. I find myself needing a break. Having had Vintage Whites Markets in January 2015 and 2016 in Loveland, taking a creative break is no longer an option. Creating new items for a market right after a Christmas continues to be a challenge. However, I do.
Although Vintage Whites Market moved venues and is now at the end of March (I will be a vendor) , Old House Vintage Market's first market this year was at Loveland and in mid January.
I have learned all I need is to find the right inspiration and my creative mojo comes back - thank goodness!
This year I wanted to expand by creating vintage inspired items for Valentine's Day. Ideas starting forming and I got back to work!
This is the result:
A tattered vintage quilt
Hand cut hearts
Aurifil 12 wt Red Thread to stitch around each tattered quilt heart
Vintage valentines, Adobe Photoshop Elements program, Iron on Paper
Transfer Vintage Valentine Iron on Paper images to white cotton fabric
Sew fabric vintage valentines to tattered quilt hearts
Add an eyelet and red and white twine
Result = One of a kind Fabric Vintage Valentines
Also created fabric and felt vintage valentine garlands:
Old House Vintage Market details:
This was a fantastic start to the new Market season for 2017!
Bernadette has created a very well attended market in a very short time. I am happy to have been a part of it since the first
Old House Vintage Market in Golden - May 2016.
Old House Vintage Market organizer Bernadette and her team did an excellent job in organizing and promoting its market. She truly cares about all her vendors and market customers. Not only was it very successful but also fun. Loved taking photos with other vendors in the photo bus Friday evening. I am grateful to be a vendor at OHVM!
The next photos were taken by OHVM photographer and can be found at
Photos were taken before the market opened.
A rare photo of me at my booth - I'm usually behind the camera:)
After OHVM, sold out all the vintage inspired camper tea towels! I need to create more to restock but most likely will have them ready for the May Paris Street Market in Aspen Grove.
The following photos were taken by me before the market opened.
Almost sold out of these fabric valentines at OHVM. A few days later sold almost of what was left to a customer in Houston, TX. Customer found me on Instagram - IsaCreationsVintage.
