More Baby Booties & Owls!

I've posted the cute baby booties that my mom makes before. Well, here's her newest group! She's added a "sneaker" style that is good for boys, in addition to her mary jane/ballet slipper style that she started with. The ones in the following 2 pics can be found at Who's Your Betty? in Oakland. The shop is on College Ave in Rockridge. I encourage you to visit this cute shop!


ANNNNND! ....I've finally made a few new owls! Plus, I've got more on the make, as well! These have been sent down to Los Angeles and are now awaiting new homes! You can find them at Leanna Lin's Wonderland in Eagle Rock!

Here's one of my owls center stage in the front window!



Here are the new Eleflaunts!


Baby booties by Tessy's Treasures! Handmade with love by my mom! The cloth ones are reversible and the felt ones are super cute with lots of decorative embroidery and appliques.

New Stuffy! plus a few additional items I've made...

New stuffy! I've been wanting to add a few new creatures to join my Owl stuffy and an elephant has always been on my mind, so here she is! This is a prototype so keep an eye out for the next generations! Eleflaunt!!!



I made this bag especially for my mom as one of her Christmas gifts. She grew up loving paper dolls and shared this love with me when I was a child. I was so excited when I found the yardage! The plaid with flocked bumble bees is a vintage fabric I've had in my collection for years and the pink and white with gold metallic ric rac is also vintage.


These are the 3 newest owls to fly into Leanna Lin's Wonderland in Los Angeles! Go visit...she's on Eagle Rock Blvd a block down from Colorado Blvd in the Eagle Rock neighborhood.

Vintage Shoe Collection & more owls!

My friend posted a pic of some of her shoes on her blog...said they were some of her favorites. I loved this idea and since vintage shoes are a subject of one of my many collections that I consider a favorite, I thought I'd share a couple of pics with ya! The line of black lace-ups are from the 1970s. I think they are all West German made and of course they are men's shoes originally, but I love the style, toe detail and heel!
This group includes a 1970s blue suede pair, a tan leather & suede 1970s Twiggy style and my old favorite 1960s Ladies Florsheim pumps that I got for $2!


In addition to my shoes, my owls seem to have become a favorite of mine too! In addition to Leanna Lin's Wonderland in Los Angeles (that I've blogged about previously; take a look here for a recent write up: Leanna Lin’s Wonderland: Japanese pop culture cute meets retro whimsy - Los Angeles art scene | Examiner.com), I recently got them into a local store! Who's Your Betty on College Ave. in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland is now carrying them! http://www.stitchesforbitches.com/ This store is super cute and has an amazing selection of jewelry, bags, pouches, hair decorations, kids things, etc. all with a bit of a rock and roll edge. My friend Mireya from El Ponk! is also selling her handpainted wallets there. (www.elponk.com, www.elponk.blogspot.com, www.elponk.etsy.com)


This is the last large group of owls I made and are now partially in Leanna Lin's Wonderland and partially with El Ponk...so if you're in LA and want an owl, go check them out!

Questionetc. designs!

I recently participated in the Indie Mart at Thee Parkside in San Francisco. Here are a couple of photos of some of my newer items. They include applique sweatshirts for kids, Lion tooth fairy pillows, Owl plushies and mini owl stuffed ornaments. I will be taking more pics of my newest stuff today and will get them posted and on etsy very soon! Keep an eye out! :)
