Vesties Team-New Local Chapter

Image
Back in March, I had a Meet Up at my home for the Vesties team.  This team is the Vintage Etsy Street Society Team with Martha from Open Door Studio as our fearless leader.  Martha is starting a new local chapter for all us folks in the Chicagoland area. http://www.etsy.com/teams/9520/vintage-etsy-society-of-chicagoland It was a pleasure visiting with Julia of Basya Berkman and Lisa for A Blast From The Past , as well as Martha at our last meet up. Lisa and Julia have teamed up since then and collaborated on a professional photo shoot.  Julia with her vintage clothing and Lisa with her wonderful vintage recreated jewelry.   I bet it was a great team effort! Come and join the team or our local chapter if you are an Etsy member and live near Chicago.
