Display at Dekka
I just wanted to share my very first display at Dekka. It is a work in progress and I am constantly switching stuff around. I'm comfortable with the final look for July. In August I will probably change it.

Final Display
Come by for the music, for the art, for the fashion, for the healthy snacks at the Cafe or for the jewelry. But please come by and support the scene. Dekka is constantly looking for new artists in all mediums and are involved in the revitalization of the Fashion Row Arts District in Hallandale.

Thrift store find
I have a Red, White & Blue thrift store down the street a couple of blocks. I spend quite a lot of time there lately. I had gone by there many times but never stopped in, being that living in North Miami I never thought I would find anything good in there. Wow, was I wrong! Now I am totally addicted! Last Monday I went in looking for some cool art I could put up in my house, I wanted something vintage, something artsy or something that I could recycle and put to good use. What I ended up purchasing both thrilled me and excited me and opened up a whole new venue for me!
for $30.00! It is very old. I think late 1950's early 60's era. The pamphlets don't show any date whatsoever and when I looked up the model (Kenmore 1357) nothing showed up on the web. Now don't be getting ideas that I am actually going to be sewing dresses and the like (hee,hee).But rather I saw as a way to upgrade the headbands I have been making. Making them both more beautiful and comfy :).
Here it is...

There seems to be a lot of it, as they used to be curtain panels. It is super soft and the colors just blow me away. So go ahead and make a day of it. Visit your local thrift store and in the process help our fellow humans who are in need of dire help.
