Market Time

We are gearing up for market and that means cRaZy hours, lots of boxes, and even more tees!!! We have been working hard for the past few months to create something fresh and fun for our Summer line.  We have some of our favorite tees yet! Lots of bright colors, elaborate graphics and just overall fresh, new, tees! We are really excited to get to share them with you after market. We also have a new upcycle t-shirt dress with a little 80's vibe to it, which is one of the many newest trends on the market!  Who could forget our new pearl snaps that we will also be debuting at market made with vintage belt straps and tribal trims!!! I.........CAN'T........WAIT!!! We will be set-up over at F!nds Cash & Carry in Market Hall in Dallas!

The hardest thing for us at Market is trying to figure out what the best seller is going to be.  Just when you think you have it figured out your entire reasoning goes out the window when the one you thought was gonna be great flops and the other one that was a shoo in flies out! It's just the nature of the business and can be very stressful when investing alot of time and money into a product in the hopes that it's going to sell.

With that being said we shall see!!! Fingers Crossed it's the best one yet!

Flea Market Madness!

As I walked through the fields of junk in Canton this month  I saw lots of goods just waiting to be picked and revamped into something fabulous.  It made me wonder why I am so drawn to the mounds of worn, dinged up, beaten up goods that are surrounding me? I then realized I love the rush of finding a piece of junk and repurposing it into something fabulous that can be used now.  I'm able to use my creative juices to transform it into something spectacular!  If only I had endless hours to spend creating all of the ideas I have in my head! I do love seeing other peoples art of recrafting as well! Like these below:

I love the repurposed tanks and car parts to put together this upcycled, steel frame!

or these old springs repurposed into bar stools! Can you say cOoL!!!

Take your old suitcases and revamp them into a little chair such as this one.

The possibilities are endless!!! Just put a little thought into what you are looking at and think what else could I use this for? There is always at least one other purpose for it and your job as a salvager is to figure out what that purpose is and how it can suit you!

So dig deep and find some good stuff and until next time keep on shopping!

XOXO,

Megan
