So there was a bit of cosmetic change here at Manic Trout...I have changed the tag line from the outdated "fine art & beautiful things" to "treat yourself to a little pretty"...which meant that I had to change the logo a smidge as well...
The Manic Trout logo of old:
The new and improved face of Manic Trout:
and speaking of little pretty, check out two Tim Walker photos from the March 2009 Vogue UK...
For some reason I have developed the odd trait of being able to find photos of women swathed in fuchsia everywear I look...and its happened again...I stumbled upon a few vintage Rawling photos from Vogue...
Actually, I hated Ms. Bailey and had them call me Sierra...I started my annual week long class at today. I went to school there, Gilly & Holly went there, and Thea is there now and its a great week that started today with a field trip to local antique and junk shops...including The Bottle Shop, which is my favorite place to shop...ever. We gathered out of the box supplies to make into jewelry for the next four days..it was pretty fun!
I discovered a bunch of whimsical vintage supplies to play with and am hoping to make some great one of a kind pieces that you'll see here I'm sure...But on a fun note, I also bought a few things for myself and wanted to share...
The first was a kicky little fuchsia faux alligator clutch:
I removed the chain handle...I prefer clutches without the strap...and took off the little chain accent and added a sassy little fox...
I also found two adorable half aprons, that I want to see, and as I already have an embroidered apron that I love, I now have a collection and needed something to hold them...so I nailed clothes pins to the pantry shelves (really tough to do, btw!) and clipped the aprons up...swoon!
