Vintage Clothing Trunk Show

So last night was the Vintage CLothing Trunk Show at Blissful Living Studio. It was kinda my idea, to have lots of vintage outfits and accessories for all you Bohemian Bliss Soiree gals to come and find an outfit to wear. It was so much fun trying on all the hats and dresses. I found this great red feather boa hat from Heidi  at Hollywood Regency. 

 I think I'll keep the tag on for that Minnie Pearl look??

And here is the always gorgeous Minnie with me.  I just love Miss Minnie. ALways smiling and making the cutest clothes. She made the cute dress she has on.

Here's Minnie swinging in her cute dress. I love it that she walks around with money in her hand!

 

Gorgeous Katie in her hat.

Shauna sporting a very Jackie O look, I love it!

Petticoats!!!!

So girls, here is a sampling of what some of us are going to wear. What are you going to wear? If you need help, come by the studio and we can help give you some ideas!

Temecula Farmers Market

While in Temecula this past weekend for the La Maison Rustique sale I decided that Maria and I should go to the Temecula Farmers Market. All I can say is WOW! Such a great farmers market. The flowers and the produce are amazing! I bought this huge bunch of beautiful Ranunculus for $5!!!!! They were a vintage peach color. Gorgeous!

Probably the best Hydrangeas I've ever seen!

I can't remember what the name of the very cool flower was, but if I lived in Temecula I would be here buying flowers every Saturday!

 

  DOn't these cherries look yummy???

More great pics tomorrow! Blissfully yours, Tricia

La Maison Rustique pt 1

We will just start from the beginning....

Here is what my poor parents van looks like at the beginning of my trip to Temecula,CA for the La Maison Rustique sale. This weekend was a very fun filled trip. Miss Maria Rodarte from www.thejunkdrawer.blogspot.com came with me. Maria is a girl after my own heart. We love so many of the same things. You might have seen some of Maria's beautiful work in the Somerset Marie book that just came out. She has her Marie book in there.

Miss Minnie's gorgeous skirts I took to sell. She was so great she gave me one! I love it. I wore it on Saturday at the Barn. Here I am in front of one of the beautiful vineyards in Temecula on the way to the Barn sale friday.

Love Minnie's skirt! Minnie blog.

 

Maria, caught shopping!

Classes

My first picture is of the YoYo Necklace I made in Katie's class last Wednesday night at Blissful Living Studio. It i made with yoyo's made from upholstery samples and I sewed in some vintage buttons from my collection. It is so gorgeous I can't wait to make another. She is doing this class 2 more times in May.

The next pictures are from my Vintage Bottle Couture Class last night.

 

Annette brought a photo to put in her bottle. It is such a great photo, and a super idea! I love my craft rebels!

Aren't these bottles great?! Erlene is going to put a photo on the "I love you" bottle. She just didn't have one with her last night. I really like the I Love You stickers on this vintage bottle. These gals did such a great job and are a blast to hang out with. Thanks Girls!

Blissfully Yours, Tricia

Previews

I thought I would give you a preview of what else I am bringing to the barn sale in Temecula. Maria and I from www.thejunkdrawer.blogspot.com will be coming in on Friday. So get ready!

  Great vintage wallpaper necklace and vintage metal buttons under TimHoltz's clear tags.

It's so dang cool! That's all you get for now.

Then, stop by next Wednesday the 29th to www.Blissfullivingstudio.com for a Vintage Clothing Trunk Show and Dress Up Party for the big Bohemian Bliss Party in may. We are having Heidi from Hollywood Regency and a few more friends with vintage clothing come in and offer their great outfits for you to purchase for the big party on the 15th of may.

La Maison Rustique Classes

Just wanted to let anyone know who is interested that I have a couple of spots left for the two classes that I am teaching at the Barn this Sunday the 26th. If you are interested you can email me at vintageblissaz@yahoo.com

Here are the class samples: This is the Vintage Photo Holder Class from 10-12 for $30. You will pick from several vintage pieces from my collection and we will embellish them and I will teach you how to turn almost any vintage piece into a photo holder. We will use lots of vintage materials.

Next is the Bella Mama Beeswax Collage Canvas. 1:30 to 3:30 for $40

I thought since we were coming up on Mothers Day, we would make a collage called Bella mama. We will use collage techniques to complete the piece and seal it in beeswax to complete the transaprent look. Metal photo corner embellishments are added to give a rustic look to your creation. I am also offering my Beeswax Crown Collage if you would rather make that one. Here is a photo of one:

 

 And here is one done in pink. The glass bubbles have vintage sheet music behind them. And  I will also be there selling on saturday, maybe friday. Hope to see you!

Blissfully yours, Tricia

Are you getting ready?

Are you getting ready for the party of the year? My sister and I went out yesterday for a little fun and found some great outfits at www.myspace.com/hollywoodregencyvintage . My sister found this great "birthday cake hat" and a lavender scarf for the Bohemian Bliss Party and Vagabond Vintage Market on May15th in Mesa.

It is filled with vintage millernery flowers. It is so fun looking! She is standing next to Lance (I think he is from the Old Navy commercials?) JK-He's ready for the party!

STOP! WAIT! My niece Amaya says her Mom can't have all the fun playing dress up-Amaya has some suggestions for you, too!

A little attitude never hurt when wearing a hat like this!

I don't think she is 100% on these glasses??

BUT this hat is 100% Bohemian Bliss Party approved! Amaya approved! Just thought I'd throw some fun your way today. Never take yourself too seriously, look at all the fun you miss!

Blissfully yours, Tricia

the Tricia Pillow

Moi?! I have a pillow named after me! I feel so famous.  Miss Heather over at Heather Hales Designs came in the Studio yesterday and I picked out some fabric for her to make a pillow class and look at what she came up with!!!!

It is sooooooooooooo gorgeous. I have been spying this pink rose on yellow fabric at the Studio for awhile now, so when Heather said pick out fabrics to make a pillow class. This is exactly what I had in mind for her. I think it is kinda Anthropologie looking??  Heather is going to make this a class at www.blissfullivingstudio.com soon, I will have to take this class! Here is Heather's blog
