Not Quite Vintage

So there has been a little change in my shop... My shop name was " Knit with Love" since that is my blog name... but if you have noticed I don't have one thing of knitting in my shop OR blog... bad me... But I made this blog along time ago when I was a knittin' fool... SO with that being said I wanted to change my Etsy name before I started applying for some shows.... You know so I can be "professional" with a name that actually reflected my items for purchase! I went to Lazy Daisy Marie actually through twitter and she helped me out MAJOR! I was shocked with how wonderful my banner turned out! I love love love love love it!!! Check out her Shop and message her if you need a revamp! She is super sweet and delivers! SO check out my new banner!!! Tell me what you think! Isn't it so me?



I got so inspired by her wonderful banner I started taking pictures of all the things I had made but not yet listed. This one is by far my favorite:

My apricot dupioni silk headband... :::swoon::: I love it...

Apricot silk fancy rosette

I took pictures of it on my vintage train case...

Oh I LOVE the new banner! That fits your shop perfectly! I love all the new headpieces too, but I'm pretty partial to the apricot one...and the train case is such a great display for them!

I love the banner and the name! Too bad there is already a 'not quite vintage' blog or else you could have just changed all your urls. your headbands are sooo beautiful. I am also a vintage lover. Do you have a local vintage shoppers map? I can give you one when we meet. I also lovelovelove the train case.

Love the new banner! Oh lets see...I like both of the headbands so much...I can't decide, I think I would choose the marigold though because pink looks terrible on me.

Tanya said...

Love the banner and the new name! I think it really suits you...

I really love the yellow headband. I'm not into yellow at all, but I do love that shade. So pretty!

They are the cutest and the most intelligent! Eustace was so easy to train when he was a tiny little puppy. Now hes 5!Sometimes I wonder if he thinks he's a human...

Hey Brook,

The new banner and name sound like a good idea...it took me back to Amy's pillow but I wondered if you recognized the graphics from here or if you have picked up any of this fabric as it might be handy.

Made is actually on my bed right now. Yes I have that fabric, I scanned it just like my last banner. Thanks for commenting to let me know your observations. You're a f-ing PEACH!
