Doing a bit of Spring cleaning in house & shop this week so I thought it a perfect time for a 'lil springtime sale in both of the shops. Let me know if you'd like to reserve an item :) Here are the relevant details:

Another weekend of Spring cleaning folks! Not very exciting for a holiday weekend huh?!

When you have a minute pop over to browse through the illustrations since they are all on sale 'till Monday night.

Vintage Office Supplies

Vintage Office Supply Collection at Sushipot Vintage

One thing Patrick and I have always enjoyed is browsing through office supply stores together. We love looking at the latest gadgets 'n Post It note designs and never leave without something.

I think Lizzie is following us down that path 'cuz the other day we stopped in at our local Hobby Lobby and she asked if we could plu-EEeaze stop into Staples which is right next door. She wanted to see if there were any new Sharpie colors available (her drawing tool of choice at the moment).

When it comes to Vintage (with a capital V!) office supplies we have become slightly obsessive. For instance...Patrick cannot turn down a working, vintage mechanical pencil. He has a collection of over 200!

Anyhow...all this to say I've put together a fun collection of retro office 'n art supply goodies for the shop--I even got Patrick to donate a couple of his pencils! Many of these items, including the retro green file box, were thrifted from my all time favorite thrift shop, The Bargain Barrel. If you ever stop in tell Kelsey I sent you!

And...I leave you with an out-take from my vintage-office-supplies-organized-neatly photo shoot.

Sewing Notions

Vintage Sewing Basket Full 'o Crafty Notions

I had planned to spend the weekend doing a bit of spring-y cleaning 'round my virtual shops and....I did! Both shops and this space have a new banner using snippets from 1950's newsprint (a fav of mine). The dust was swept out of the corners 'n off the shelves and I even spruced up my profile pages and re-addressed shop policies--all that nitty-gritty stuff that has been put on the back burner again and again. In addition to cleaning virtually, I did a bit of sorting and cleaning of inventory (including this sewing basket) for my newly re-named shop, Sushipot Vintage (it was time to cast off the old name of Sushipot Parts). AND...before I head off to bed for the night....a BIG thank you to everyone who came out to shop my pendant sale.
