BlueMoonRose

I have always been a bit of a treasure hunter. I am one of 11 children and as kids we always found ways to re-use items. You can imagine that hand me downs were essential to the family budget. I think we were some of the original up-cyclers. A cardboard box was never just a cardboard box. Halloween costumes were always created and never purchased. Tree forts and playhouses were a neighborhood effort and were constructed from what ever castaways we might find in our travels. My mom instilled in me the love of garage saleing (not sure that is a word...but it is now) Whether it is genetic and I have come down from a long line of Irish gypsies (probably not) or it grew out a creative necessity to have fun without spending money we didn't have (more likely), I continue the tradition in my adult life and hope to pass on the "gift" to my kids.

I also have a second shop called BlueRoseRetro where you will find fab vintage items. Follow the link to shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/BlueRoseRetro?ref=pr_shop_more#
