Quick Sunday Show & Tell

( It turns out the woodgrain is more on the greenish side- which I am starting to like even more than the original)


(estate sale a few weeks back- vintage)


(parasols- I want to call it Tokyo parasol- because I don't know the real name)


(reminds me of the 4th of July and making summer wishes)


(folded a favorite way to see fabric)

Last day to a very busy weekend.. A million things to do. Very sleepy & hungry
Enjoy the day!

Trying to Be Greener

A lot of what we do at Hobocamp is about trying to be greener. Reusing old fabric, vintage fabric, reworking items that may have been trashed -- trying to see the beauty in them. Sewing my coffee cuffs is so much fun b/c not a lot of fabric is needed to make a BIG statement. So, I can find a great piece of fabric from an old dress and make a unique & eco-friendly cuff. To try and be greener, we are offering a giveaway with the Trying to be Greener Blog. A great resource for environmentally friendly living. I've made 3 coffee cuffs from recycled skirts that will fit over travel mugs for extra greenness.
By checking out her blog and leaving a comment, you will enter yourself in the giveaway! It really is that easy.
Stay Green, Pony Boy.

It Takes a Village

Lately many people and families are talking about getting back to basics and I love it! One of the places I am focusing most on this mantra is my daily life with my almost-6-month-old-daughter, Hazel Juniper. I want her food to be all organic,and I'm working hard to acheive this and I want her toys to be safe. Babies use their mouths like antennae- so what goes in needs to be healthy.
Enter Pretty Dreamer. Pamela's shop, makes handcrafted wood toys for home and play.They choose their materials carefully to ensure they are nontoxic.
These brightly colored toys are safe for your little one, and they invite their imagination to run wild. From puzzles-to-stackers-to-rattles and carpentry tools for your little one. Pretty Dreamer even offers a little wooden iron,
perfect for helping mama or papa with their laundry chores. So when you're wondering what to get for that next children's birthday- step away from the plastic toys- made with who knows what.. and step into Pretty Dreamer's Etsy Shop. Have a great day!

Dinner at Temptations- a great little restaurant- with delicious sweet potato soup!



At the Stormville Flea market, I found 3 great vintage outfits for Hazel. Here is one of them. A linen shirt- brand new with tags on it-from Sears- with matching skirt/skort size 3. Zach found a few toys.

Here are some highlights of the Snuggle Bunny party! I hope to get these in the shop this week. We also have some preggie tanks- so if you have any pregnant girlies in your life- this might be the thing for them!

Best little model in town!



Hope you had a full- fun weekend!
