Happy New Year!
With the new year comes new ideas- so to start, I finally changed my blog avatar from my business logo (red truck) to my blog and craft identity: The Bird. No, I didn’t illustrate it, or really even design it, I simply found it and scanned it from a clip-art book. (Sometimes, you just take short cuts, because well, they work.)

And second, I opened a new little Etsy shop for vintage goodies. I’m starting with some fun little vintage brooches.

I’ll also be de-stashing things I thought I once needed, but really should pass along, you know, just let go. Holden’s Vintage Goods is the name I used for many years of selling antiques in local shops -I have always loved it. (The sign in the photo is from my antiquing days, it now hangs in my design studio.)
So welcome to 2009, the year I simplify the clutter in my life.
