New Item, ReMix by Bec

By -
Here is a new item to be listed soon.  Bec is trying something different with her ReMix.  She made this lovely baby bib out of Vintage fabric.  It reminds me of the Wonder Bread pattern of dots.  The fabric is polyester so it is resistant to stains and spills, just what a busy Mom needs.
It has a nifty Velcro closure and is plain orange on the back side.
It will be listed soon, this is just a preview for you RetroBabs fans.

So glad I found you off the Handmadeology site! Love your recycled items, especially like this vintage fabric you've found for the bib. I have a thing for circles, polka-dots, anything round really. :)

Have an inspired day. Stephey
Also, thank you so much for leaving your comment, so insightful. I resonate with what you wrote about when "working on my art- I am ME." As a creator, that's where the me is, and mama nothing is more fulfilling than that! thanks again.

I would like to feature a wonderful artist today. Adrien Miller is a potter, a painter and a sculptor. He is a visual artist and creates pottery and paintings of the human form. His studio is based in Seattle and is a member of the Etsy Recyclers Guild Team, as am I. I randomly chose his sculpture in a Treasury before I actually began talking to him for this interview. I liked his art as soon as I first set eyes on it! His sculpture is the lovely torso in the top row of the Treasury below. Visit his Etsy shop, ADRIEN ART at : http://www.etsy.com/shop/AdrienArt?ref=pr_shop_more# His shop is filled with fantastic pottery, vessels bearing faces, torsos on tea pots and paintings of the human body. It is surely a magical place! I asked Adrien some questions about his Etsy experience. When and why did you start selling on Etsy? "I opened my Etsy shop on November 10th, 2009. I needed to do it. I make art with most of my time, and I was having an issue with not minding...

Blog Post ala' RetroChalet- Cindy

I wanted to give a shout out to Cindy at RetroChalet , she is what I call my "Wifey" and our two shops are "married" in spirit.  She is my Etsy mentor. Cindy has been so helpful to me, she's always ready to comment and critique the RetroBabs Vintage shop. Recently, we has a discussion about Titles and Tagging of items on Etsy. I had this item titled as a Red Apple Canister but Cindy came up with 20 other ideas for the title and tags.  Red Delicious and Cookie Jar to be the few that were excellent.  Her take on the issue was the fact that the more "HITS" one gets for an item -the greater the chance for a sale.  The Canister and Cookie jar folks might also include an apple collector and a lover of vintage.  The more ground you cover the more people you can reach. I eliminated useless descriptions that did not fall under the Relevancy criteria of Etsy and Google searches. She wrote a great article on the subject for the Handmadeology Blog   ca...

I joined a new team on Etsy, it is called Etsy Recyclers Guild Team. They are a group of eco-artist and vintage shop owners, they believe in recycling, reuse, re-create, and repurposing. I think our ReMix items will fit right into this Team and we are excited to part of the group. Thanks to Cindy from RetroChalet shop for encouraging us. Here are a pair of earrings made by Retro Chalet. This will give you an idea of the kind of items the team have available. visit: http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d473b58e1416d9179e2690b/feeling-funkyvalentines-gifts-think-out?ref=pr_treasury
