seabold vintage market

a little Spring "Sting" . . .

2012-01-24T04:19:00.000-08:00

Soooo . . .

I am doing a little fashion show as a fundraiser at my son's school . . .

and I think it is going to be called . . .

Spring "Sting"

with some student photography . . . spring fashion from local designers . . .
and a little - rock and roll!!

it is based a bit on . . .

"The Sting"

as the school just happens to be doing a production of the movie in February.

The storyline takes place in the 1930's . . .
which of course - opens it up for all the vintage fashion
that just happens to be so popular right now!!

It will include . . .

News Boy Caps

along with a little rock and roll!!
 with a little influence from Springsteen and Sting!!

And of course . . .
one of my favorite designers will be there . . .

Maresa Patterson 
along with her new spring collection from . . .

Stella Love!! 

 ( Stella Love 2011 ) 

We hope to use some of the props from the school play . . .

and as I said above - we are planning on using lots and lots of hats for styling purposes . . . 

We want to take a bit of inspiration from the movie, and the school's production of it . . .
as well as keeping it current with today's fashion trends!!

Oh - and on that note . . .

as much as I love women's fashion . . .

this is a boy's catholic school . . .

so we are going to make sure there are also some

great Men's fashion as well . . . 

 I am asking the boys at the school to help with the modeling as well . . . so it should be pretty interesting!!!

I am sure they will all look handsome as ever in their News boy caps . . .

but more importantly,

I know that they will not only have fun . . .
but I also believe that they will feel great about it . . .
as it is a fundraiser - raising money for their scholarship fund . . . and in this current economy - it is needed more than ever!!

We will also be working with the photo class at the school to
try and get some great shots of local street fashion as well . . .
think - The Satorialist!!

And I also hope to incorporate the schools photography class to come and capture the spirit of the day!!! 

( source unknown? )

So - if you know of any great local fashion designers

that would fit into the spirit of the day . . .
please send them my way!!

They can email me directly at - lizledorze@gmail.com

It really should be a ton of fun!!!

 2012 is going to be full of Great Vintage Markets . . .

Online Marketplaces . . .

and finally - I am able to make it work with my schedule!!!  I can't begin to tell you all how excited I am - it is going to be AMAZING to say the least!!! 

here is a little video to give you an idea of what it is all about!!! 

like I said - AMAZING!!! :) :)

. . . . . . .

And then of course . . . this one - is most definitely one of my highlights of my summer . . .

Barn House 

not only do I get to attend one of the most wonderful markets ever - with the greatest customers ever . . .
I also get to spend time with these two amazing men - Joe and Jermonne!!!
I absolutely love these boys . . . and I love being part of their very special Flea Market Family!!

I wouldn't miss it for the world!!!

On that note . . .

I  have added a list of many more great shows here in the Northwest and beyond!  It  includes vintage friends . . . both new and old . . . and is also where I  plan to do a little vintage shopping for myself . . . as well as  spending time with my extended vintage family!

Life . . . Layered Cakes . . . and . . . Second Shout Out!!!

2012-01-10T10:16:00.000-08:00

I am soooooooo excited for 2012 . . .

It is my last year before the big 50 . . . and YES - I do plan to live it up!!

It is kinda like this Cake that I have been wanting to make . . . I plan on adding lots and lots of layers this year!! I want it to be filled with fun and excitement - I want it to be a year that I will truly remember!!

This particular year is NOT going to be my simplifying year . . . nope - not at all . . . and secret truth is - I have always liked it this way!!

I do like to start a new year fresh . . . taking a quick look back at the previous year and then quickly moving forward . . .

I can't begin to tell you how truly grateful I feel at the moment . . . 2011 was such an amazing year . . . for myself, my friends and family, and also for this crazy vintage world we live in!! It was a year to become closer with old friends and to bond heavily with new ones . . . it was a time for helping one another and a time for true thankfulness!!

I so look forward to much more of the same in 2012 . . . and I know it will again be filled with friendships and family . . . art nights with my daughter, Friday night football with my son . . . and hopefully a few more date nights with my sweet husband!! I also know that it will be filled with lots of hard work and dedication, a few vintage shows and online marketplaces, and hopefully much happiness, a ton of laughter, and true gratitude!! I will say here that it will most definitely be as happy, and as fun, and as rewarding as each of us want it to be - it is our choice!!

On that note . . .

I have some very exciting news to share with all of you!! There is going to be a wonderful new online vintage marketplace that will be launching very, very soon!! I have been hinting around about it . . . and now I have to tell you that it is just around the corner!

It is called . . .

Second Shout Out

It is going to be a truly AMAZING online marketplace . . . and it is going to absolutely ROCK the Vintage World in a whole new and exciting way!! The founders and masterminds of Second Shout Out are Quinton and Susan Hoover. They both have a whole new way of looking at the vintage world . . . and I think you will soon see just how much fun it is truly going to be!!

I have been dreaming of this type of online marketplace for a very long time now . . .

Dreaming of a go-to marketplace filled with all sorts of vintage goodness . . . an approachable marketplace that is filled with hand selected goods . . . a place that comes from passion and from the heart . . . a place you want to go to and be a part of . . . with items that are too good to pass up - or items that let you dream and save your pennies for!!

And now . . . this type of online marketplace is not only going to finally exist - but I have also been given the opportunity to be a part of it all . . . as a contributing blogger for this very cool adventure!!

It is going to be such a fun year in 2012 . . . and to say that I am excited about all of this is truly an understatement!! I posted my very first introduction post on Second Shout Out just a few weeks back - right before I went away on the most amazing vacation I have ever had! (more on that later in the week) I did a post on something that is very close to my heart - Mid Century Modern and I included a fantastic video about Ray and Charles Eames who's work I adore! (You can click here to view both the post and video.)

This first post is just the beginning of what I have in mind for the coming year - can't wait!!

Now that I am fully rested and ready for the new year ahead!! I can't wait to share all the year's details with all of you!! I have soooooo much to tell you about - including vintage show details . . . and also random thoughts on just about anything I find amusing :)

This year more than ever - I want to lighten it up and just have a lot of fun!!! :)

I do hope you will stop by from time to time and join me on what should be a truly incredible journey both here . . . and also on Second Shout Out!!!

2012 is going to totally ROCK!!

I want to wish each one of you - the very best in the year to come . . . may it be filled with much joy . . . much happiness . . . great vintage treasures . . . and lots, and lots, and lots of delicious layered cake!!

I believe that Cake is just like Life - it is always best when there are lots of layers to each of them . . . ummm ummm!!

(no sheet cakes here baby!!)

And by the way - this amazing Banana Cake comes by way of Louisa Blackmore - who is going to be the Antique Restoration Contributor at Second Shout Out . . . she is also quite amazing in the kitchen!!

Now I just have to figure out how to make this gluten free!! :)

Much love to all of you today!!

. . . . . . . . . .

Why all the Vintage Store Love you might ask??

It is simple . . .

Because - I seriously LOVE seeing my friends be successful with their

Brick and Mortar, and Online Vintage Stores . . . especially now - in THIS economy!!

These people are not only TALENTED . . . but they also put their HEART and SOUL into what they do . . .

I believe that is what makes them so SPECIAL . . . and that is why I believe they are worth supporting!!

I for one . . .

plan to support them as much as possibly during this upcoming holiday season . . .

and quite seriously - am looking forward to every minute of it!!

So stay tuned . . .

as I show you some of my favorite finds within . . .

the Brick and Mortar, and Online community in the weeks to come . . .

I think you will not only LOVE IT . . .

but . . . I think you will also see that it really does make a difference . . .

within the lives of these store owners . . . but also within the community itself!!

Hope you will join me!!

Peace to all of you this holiday season . . . xoxo - liz

I would like you to meet someone very special . . .
her name is . . .

Donna Clement!

I first met her at one of our markets several years back . . .
I knew I liked her the first time I met her . . .

she was smiling . . . and laughing . . .

and happy to be spending the day with a few of her girlfriends at the market :)

but - it wasn't until later that I learned how truly talented she was . . .

Donna came to our market this last spring - this time as a vendor . . .
she brought all her beautiful custom bracelets and necklaces . . .
we were all ohhhing and ahhhing over them . . .

this one here has always been one of my favorites :)

and then . . .

she brought out a few red cross pieces . . . and I totally freaked!! :)
I knew instantly that I wanted her to do a bunch of these
especially for Seabold Vintage Market . . .

I am soooo happy she said YES!!!

(sold)

You can see all of Donna Clement's red Cross pieces . . .
here - in our . . .

Seabold Vintage Market's - Online Store!!

my sweet girl . . .

2011-10-28T08:38:00.000-07:00

I LOVE dress forms . . .

and this little lady has always been one of my favorites . . .

a little aged . . .

a little worn . . .

a little tattered . . .

a little torn . . .

but that is what makes her special . . .

that is what makes her so beautiful . . .

I personally love how she has aged . . .

and even if she is missing a few parts . . .

I still think she is . . . BEAUTIFUL!!!

oh . . . and she is for sale in our little Online Store . . . :)

Wishing everyone a beautiful weekend!!! :)

Living a Vintage Lifestyle??

2011-09-01T14:43:00.000-07:00

who is . . . Second Shoutout?

and . . .

what does . . . "Vintage Lifestyle" mean to you . . .

and . . .

3 . . . secret Giveaways . . . really!!

Susan and her husband of Second Shoutout!!

To answer the first question . . .

Second Shoutout is . . .

a soon to be online Marketplace - for Vintage Contemporary Goods . . .

I couldn't be more Happy about all of this . . .

you have to really hear about this in Susan's own words . . . which you can see - here!!

Great . . . Fresh . . . Vintage Goods . . . at their very best!!!

. . . . . . . . . .

On their Blog post - Susan asks the question . . .

How would you define . . . "Living a Vintage Lifestyle"?

I have to say . . . this is not the easiest question . . .

in fact . . . I thought about it for quite some time earlier today on facebook . . .

and ended up saying something silly - like this . . .

"if I had a car like this . . .

I would feel like I was "driving" a vintage lifestyle . . .

and I am quite sure it would make me very Happy!!" :)

so in that case - I guess . . .

Vintage Car = Vintage Lifestyle = Happiness

. . . . . . . . . .

BUT SERIOUSLY . . .

I have been thinking about this in a major way today!!

So I want to know . . . how would YOU all answer that question . . .

I really truly want to know your thoughts on this . . .

so I am making this into a great giveaway . . .

( 3 ) actually!!

One of the prizes will be one of my vintage Cross pillow . . .

and the other two giveaways are a surprise . . .

but I think you will really . . . really like them!! :)

so here we go . . .

how would YOU define . . . "Living a Vintage Lifestyle"?

just leave your answer to the question in the comment section . . .

or email me privately if you prefer . . . (lledorze@aol.com)

the winners will be announced next Tuesday!!

(1 winner will be "my favorite answer" . . . and the other 2 will be picked randomly!!)

let the fun begin!!!

friendship . . .

2011-08-05T23:58:00.000-07:00

this is a story about two sweet little girls . . .

a few darling "Barn House" kittens . . .

and a truly special friendship that developed . . .

in this crazy vintage world!!

This is my daughter "Hattie" . . . and her friend - who's name is also "Hattie!!

These two girls met last year at Barn House . . .
and became instant friends . . .

yes . . . they shared the same name . . .

and were also very close to the same age . . .

and they both had a deep LOVE for . . .
those cute little "Barn House" kittens!!

And this year was no exception . . .

the two girls had soooo much fun together . . .

as they laughed and played . . .

and found the perfect place for the kittens . . .
to take a little rest.

I do want to say . . .
I think the kittens enjoyed all of this . . .

and as for the girls . . .
well . . .

their smiles say it all!!! :)

. . . . . . .

I am so glad these two found a friendship . . .

that could perhaps last from year to year . . .

or yes - even a lifetime . . . :)

one just never knows . . .:)

to friendships everywhere!!!

xoxo - liz

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

To be very honest here . . .

I took these pictures with the intent of having photos of some of the pieces

of the new "Hattie Bird" Fall collection (the plaid dress) . . .

but what I realized - when I looked at these photos . . .

is that they are truly soooo much more than marketing photos . . .

they are a record of a wonderful memory . . .

of a moment of time . . .

of two sweet and very special little girls and the friendship that they share!!

I am sooo very, very happy . . .
that it was actually captured . . . in photos!!

my little space at Barn House . . .

2011-08-02T19:11:00.000-07:00

A few photos my little space at . . .

Barn House

It was such fun at Barn House this year . . .

and we all had such a wonderful time!!

A big Thank You to one of my dearest friends Kathryn . . .

and my sweetie pie husband for helping me out this year!!

and oh yes . . .
I can't forget - a bit of help from our sweet Joe, and my darling little girl Hattie!! :)

With all the planning and preparing . . .

we didn't manage to arrive at Barn House until just after 4:30 the night before the show.
Seriously!! :)

It was quite obvious to me and those close to me . . .
that even though I can set up really, really fast . . .
I may have been pushing the time envelope just a bit - lol!! :)

We were all up very late . . . but we pulled it all together . . .
along with a few things from Kathryn special treasures!! :)

And . . . when the show started . . . and we sold our first item . . .
I was reminded of why I do all of this . . .

It is you - the customers . . .
that make all of this sooo special for each of us vendors . . .
A BIG Thank you for joining us . . .
we so loved that you became part of our vintage family for the day!!

Love to each of you . . .

and especially to . . . Joe and Jermonne!!!
as you all know - I simply LOVE . . . LOVE . . . LOVE . . . these two men!!! :)

BARN HOUSE
WAS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST THIS YEAR!!!

( I have to say . . . I am still recovering a bit - lol!! )

soooo - while I finish editing a few of my own photos . . .

I thought I would share a few from our dear friend . . .

Michael Jardine!!

He is our go-to-photographer for our Bainbridge Blues' textile line . . .

and I always love seeing life through his eyes!! :)

It was a most beautiful day at Barn House last Saturday . . .
and for starters . . . lets just say it was HOT . . .
in more ways than just the weather!!

The whole experience was truly amazing from start to finish!!

and there was something for everyone that day . . .

tons of really great vintage finds . . .

farm animals around every corner . . .

and sweet kids having fun. . .
playing on tractors . . .

and cuddling with the sweet barn kittens . . .

and . . . then of course . . . there were the darling trailer girls . . .

especially looking fine was our sweet girl Tiffany . . .

from The Fancy Farmgirl!!!

lets just say . . . heads were a turning . . . as she was looking especially HOT!!

yes . . . I know . . . I know . . . I did say it!! :)

She is always so much fun to be around . . .

one of the truest . . . kindest . . .
and of course . . . happiest girls I have ever met!!!

Love that girl!!

. . . . . . . . . . . .

A big Thank You to you Michael . . .

for always showing us a look at something from your own personal perspective . . .

as always - I loved it!!

(that - and your choice in Music!!)

were able to make it to Barn House this time!!

Barn House

2011 Vintage Country Marketplace & Music Festival . . .

If you know Barn House and you know the Boys . . .

I am sure you already have this amazing event on your calender.

If not . . .

then here below is an introduction to what all the excitement is about . . .

(Below is a partial re-post from Feb. 2010 . . .

and over a year later - the words and feelings are just as relevant today!!)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

BH stands for . . . Barn House!!!

I would like to introduce you to some very special . . . and very talented men . . .

in the vintage world we call them . . .

the boys of

BARN HOUSE

To many of us . . .

these two very special men

have given vintage a whole new meaning . . .

on every level!!

Joe and Jermonne . . .

have inspired so many of us . . . as they have

given their heart and the soul to everything they touch . . .

from sharing their wonderful farm animals . . .
and daily life at the barn with all of us. . .

to their special friendships with their ever-expanding
vintage family!!

Their vintage markets

are more than one could ever hope for . . .
and if you haven't been to one - you must really try to go!!

And then sometimes . . .

they show up at special events where . . .

their vintage merchandising and goods are always breathtaking!!

They also have a wonderful On-line Marketplace . . .

which is just a click away . . .

Barn House Marketplace

It is filled with the Barn House soul
and of course . . .
all sorts of wonderful vintage objects . . .

you can bring a bit of vintage home with you . . .

no matter where you live . . .

a true rustic elegance that is so simple . . .
yet so very refined!!

As I said in the beginning . . .
they put their heart and soul into everything they do . . .

just look at these two . . .
you can't help but to fall in love with them . . .

over . . . and over . . . and over again!!

Thank you both for sharing your lives with us!!

You have inspired so many of us . . .

especially me!!

blessings to you both . . . xoxo liz

. . . with the Hattie Bird Clothing line???

Well - we are working on the 2011 Fall / Winter Collection!!

And in the mean time . . . here is the latest post from . . .

www.hattiebird.com

. . . . . . . . . .

I would like to introduce you to this darling young girl . . .

her name is . . . Posie!!

and Yes - I LOVE her name . . . and yes - it fits her perfectly!!!

Posie came with her sweet family to a Vintage Market this summer . . .

and went home with one of our garden dresses . . .
and also our very first piece from our 2011 Fall Collection . . .

A Navy Plaid Coat in a Cotton / Wool Blend with a Cream Hemp lining as shown above!

Watching her look at the clothes . . . and pick a few of her favorites . . .

you could tell she already has a real love for fashion!!

I heard from her mother Cindee . . .

that Posie is also a persistent and prolific paper artist!! :)

Story has it . . .

that she can make just about anything with paper, scissors, markers and tape . . .
and that she once made her father an entire ensemble . . .
hat, tie, wallet, flip flops, glasses and a mustache! :)

Cindee also mentioned that her daughter is fun to the core . . .
and along with fashion - also loves music, dissecting tv talent competitions,
is a level 4 gymnast for her local Gymanstics Team,
and loves playing “Waiting for You” on the piano.

It seems that Posie is a girl with many, many talents . . .
she is loved dearly by her wonderful family . . .
is sweet and beautiful to the core . . .
and yes - she definitely has an eye for fashion!! :)

We are so glad to meet you miss Posie!!!

. . . . . . . . . .

Yes . . .
Posie looked beautiful in her new coat . . .
but just as importantly - it FIT her perfectly!! :)

This coat is meant to be comfortable - without constraints . . .

so that a young girl can run, and jump, and play . . .

and feel pretty too!!

. . . . . . . . . .

to see our Online store - click here!!

(the spring/summer collection is on final clearance - up to 50% off the remaining pieces)

The 2011 Fall / Winter Collection will be here - early August!! :)

Also note . . . I am saving a few remaining "Sale" pieces to bring especially to . . .

Barn House - on July 30th . . .

as well as a few sneek peeks of the Fall collection!!

Can't wait to share it with you!!

Miss Annie Huntley . . .

I have known Annie since she was a young girl . . .
she was . . . and still is . . . a sweet, happy and carefree girl . . .
and . . . if you ever get a chance to meet her - you will instantly know
how she can light up a room the moment she walks in!!!

I remember watching her as a young girl . . .
and I specifically remember watching her leave her safe little nest here on Bainbridge Island
to travel the world . . .

She traveled to far away places like Bordeaux or Jerusalem . . .

following her own path as she went . . .

Sometimes I would run into her at some random place when she had returned . . .
and there she was - Miss Annie . . . happy, smiling, and sweet as can be . . .

but there was more depth to that smile of hers . . .
there was also wisdom . . . and strength . . . and knowledge . . .

Annie would always tell me about her latest travels . . .
she would tell me about her latest thoughts on religion . . . and her feelings about the poor . . .
and her deep, deep desire to help out in the world.

each and every time - it would touch me . . .

and then one day . . . the other day . . .

I realized she was no longer a little girl . . .

but a young woman . . . full of beauty and grace . . .

a woman who was strong and brave . . . and whose heart was open and kind . . .

Annie had traveled the world . . .

she had followed her heart . . . and she had flourished in it . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . .

The day I realized all of this . . .
was the evening I watched her accept an award a few weeks back . . .

"The Amy Award"

This is an award that was founded by my dear friend . . .
Caren Anderson and her husband David . . . in memory of their beloved daughter Amy.
It is an award given in celebration of a young artist and their hard work and talent . . .

what is truly special about this award is that one can not apply for it . . .
as the artist is chosen by our local arts community here on Bainbridge Island.

This year - they choose Annie :) :)

To watch her accept this award was truly a special evening . . .

Here below is some of her beautiful work . . .

In her work . . . you will see Annie's thoughts and beliefs . . .

as religious icons often show up in her work . . . such as a Virgin Mary coin . . .

or an antique Star of David as shown here . . .

her jewelry shows . . . quality . . . and patience . . . and grace . . .
in each and every piece . . .

and sometimes . . . her pieces take you far, far away . . .

her jewelry shows you who Annie is as an artist . . . and as a person . . .
what she stands for . . . and what the world means to her . . .

All I know - is that I feel so blessed to know this young woman . . .
and am sooo proud of her on every level!!

. . . may your whole life be filled with sunshine Annie!!

Love to you today and always!!

. . . what Vintage Items are you going to be looking for at . . .

I am crossing my fingers . . . for a set of . . .

4 Vintage - Saarinen tulip chairs!!

why the modern edge you may ask??

well . . . I actually grew up in a very modern house . . .
and we had 4 of these chairs in the kitchen . . .
along with the Saarinen Table that went with it . . .

and a Nelson light fixture centered above it all . . .

the breakfast table sat at the end of a very sleek stainless steel and turquoise kitchen . . .
which had a very Mid Century Modern vibe to it!!!

The chairs and lighting were designed by . . .

two very talented bad boys of that time - including . . . George Nelson

and . . . Eero Saarinen
(with Eames on the left - another great mid century designer!)

I currently have an old farm house . . . and don't intend to go too modern with it . . .
but would absolutely LOVE to add a few classic modern pieces here and there
just to mix it up a bit!!

so there you go . . .
that is the type of vintage that I will be personally looking for at Farm Chicks??

Soooooo . . . what about you . . . what are you all looking for??
Would love to hear from you!!!

Can't wait for the fun to begin . . . see you all very soon!!

the Remodelista Market in Seattle . . .

2011-05-01T15:01:00.000-07:00

all I can say is that . . .

The Remodelista Market
here in Seattle . . . was absolutely wonderful!!!

I absolutely loved the mix of vendors . . .
especially the artisian slant to the whole show . . . and the stories behind each of them . . .

I loved seeing old friends . . . and meeting new ones . . .

I loved getting to know the gals from Remodelista . . .
and I loved the taco truck . . .

it was just one of those simple - yet very, very special days!!

It was held at the production facility of . . .

Henrybuilt
a company that designs and manufacturers finely crafted
contemporary furniture and kitchen cabinet systems.
(definitely worth checking out!!)

Fran, Mudge, and I . . .

got to spend this most wonderful day together - bringing new product . . .
to the show from
Bainbridge Blues
including . . .

sachets . . .

pouches . . .
(similar to our cross ones from Seabold Vintage Market)

aprons . . . and laundry bags (not shown)

as well as . . .

some great new bedding . . . mixed with some designer and vintage fabrics . . .
and a couple of custom lampshades!

It was fun to see how all our hard work came together!!

I also brought the completed line of . . .

Hattie Bird
a girls clothing line . . .

which was also fun to see finally come together!!

It seems the mom's

would like to see something similar in larger sizes . . .

which just happens to be exactly what I am working on at the moment :)

The on-line store for the girls collection

will probably be completed today or tomorrow . . .

including all the new pieces from the whole collection . . .

( it is just a matter of getting everything uploaded to the market site )

and then of course . . .

we also brought some vintage to the Market!!

because . . . who dosen't love a bit of vintage!!! :)

I just want to say a big . . .

thank you!!!

to all those who came out for the market . . .

we soooo loved having you there!!

and . . .

also to Remodelista for coming to Seattle!!

It was truly a special show . . .

and I personally felt blessed to be a part of it!!!
