Good afternoon, artisans of the world! Join with me, will you, in a celebratory leap of excitement--clap your hands, squeal with joy, and dance around like a little school girl.
We have the button hats.
Oh, but it's not just the button hats. It's the button gloves. And... drumroll, please... a whole new line of greeting cards that will appeal to anyone who loves classic, vintage designs and cherishes the spelling bees of their youth. These are none other than "flashcards"--greeting cards made from genuine 1960s flashcards. And we're making them for every occasion.
I am getting ahead of myself--forgive me.
Yes, the button hats have finally come in. Thank you so much to "Lola" of Button Up! designs, for hand-selecting all the vintage buttons that will make every hat and pair of gloves not only beautiful, but one-of-a-kind. The hats and gloves in the WWYB inventory are absolutely gorgeous. Each hat and glove set seems to have its own unique thing to say. I look forward to selling many more like them!
Two more flower hats have also been added to the shop, officially. You've already seen the black one with the heather-gray rose, but have you seen this (dare I say, Superman-inspired?) blue and red design? A little spunkier than the other retro designs, I think:
And I have saved my latest treasure for last. A month or so ago, I logged onto Etsy to see on the homepage a truly must-have item, which I purchased without stopping to think twice: Thirty-three genuine 1960s vintage flashcards in blue, yellow, and pink. I just thought, "I know there's something I can do with this!" The price was fair; there was nothing stopping me.
Surrounded by other artists as the founder of Wacky Wanita's YOUnique Boutique, I got feedback from several creative minds on how to make the most of this gem--a special thanks goes out to Deborah, the creator of the button earrings you all love so much, because she was the one to suggest scanning them for multiple-use. Now the possibilities are only limited by my capacity for new ideas! I am so, so excited. Here are the first in the collection:
Also, after a bit of research into the art of (cue music) fabric printing, there is an excellent chance that in the very near future you will be seeing truly original scarf and headwrap designs by Wacky Wanita--not only the product sewing pattern, but the fabric patterns themselves!
So much happening! See it all this week at the Wacky Wanita Etsy shop. And don't forget--we love feedback! Drop us a line and tell us what you think!
Love to everyone!
Until next time,
Wanita
PS--Some more pictures for your enjoyment!
