Lollishops Might be for you if...

Many of you know about the new Selling Venue Lollishops. Its a wonderful new site dedicated to showcasing a often overlooked and hidden craft/talent.



The world of pastels and roses, old silks and embroidery, vintage emphemera, collages , soft palettes,vintage decor, robins egg blue, aqua, red, ribbons, trim and sweet nothings.



If you made sense of anything I just wrote, then Lollishops is definitely for you!



If the thought of a flea market, estate sale, thrift store or Mrs. Jones' rummage sale, gets your blood flowing , gives your salivary glands a check , has you collecting any and all coins in sight, turning hubbys pants pockets inside out and pushing back sofas with the strength of Superman searching for loose change because they "don't take the card". Then Lollishops is definitely for you!



So put on your best fuzzy, comfy shoes and lounging gown, grab a friend and get ready for the "Best Virtual Shabby Sale Ever!"

Thrift Store Find!!


This is a beautiful vintage ( 80's radio) I found at a local thrift store. Its pink! What comes to mind? Cindi Lauper? Roxanne, Roxanne? Darryl and Oates(?) ? I know one of them did:} it works great and was only $1.15! (1/2 off coupon) Obviously no one but me would appreciate a find like this because I saw it at the store not once but twice (the first times I had on my logical thinking cap- the you don't really need this one) and the third time I grabbed it and never looked back! Now I'm on the hunt for more tapes to help me create in my studio what Louie Armstrong, (check), Ink Spots, (check), Rudy Vallee and his Gentleman Songsters (check)! Hey if you create with vintage emphemera, its only right to submerge yourself totally down to the checkered knickers and specs!;)

Lollishops in the Spotlight!


My first Lollishop to be featured here is Sugar Affair! http://www.lollishops.com/sugaraffair


Who doesn't love Sugar?!!!? No one I know!!:} These Smores look like they are to-die-for-good! Check out these One Pounders ! Simply look under ****Fanciful Creations*** or Search Chocolate Smores...And soon you'll be swooning too!


I love the Homemade Look and I know, I'm going to love the Homemade Taste! It has that -I've been slaving over a hot stove all night, making the graham crackers from scratch, stirring the chocolate and sugaring the marshmallows! Not the pristine and perfectly squared born in a factory two weeks ago and therefore not as great look;] I look forward to featuring more of my LolliSisters here for your quick viewing and enjoyment and frou-frou satisfaction!

Lollishops is up and running!

How exciting! Yes I know , I'm late in announcing , but that's pretty much the story of me. Day late...:} I'm very excited about the Lollishops venture, I hope it thrives for a few reasons, first and foremost, I love the fact that the Quaint world of frou-frilly and shabby-savy have a stage to showcase on. And perhaps gain a bit more respect. there are MANY women who A) Love to CREATE the cottage style and B) Love to BUY the cottage style that don the stores of Lollishops. The women here are talented and its very obvious we love what we do. Its obvious from our ventures on and off of Lollishops. We're serious about this style. I'm glad Sadie Lou had the courage and wisdom to open up this door both she and us. Thanks Sadie! I've been creating with vintage materials and collecting beautiful emphemera for years, creating and giving these treasures as gifts and I am happy to be able to offer them to customers all over the world through platforms such as Lollishops. Hang in there all you fellow Lollishoppers and support, promote and show off the style you love!
