Awesome pre Brimfield SCORE!!!


Old people get rid of the best stuff! A good friend of mine scored 2 huge boxes of 40's and 50's vintage cottons, rayons and silk fabrics. He's got a really great eye for Emily style junque!
I freakin love all the polka dots...Some flocked some printed...All super cute. What a great pile of UNUSED YARDAGE!!!

I love the shabby chic green florals.

I've been super busy stuffing my trailer with all the goodies I bought this winter like this lovely old country store fixture. What great cast hardware pulls. This piece would make a great kitchen island. The trailer will be stuffed to the rafters for this show. I just got my paperwork from the girls who run the J&J field I got my same booth back which is booth number C12. Our show is the Friday and Saturday after the Mother's day weekend.

More soon...XO Emily

Funky Find...Good Eye!

A friend scored this really cute old school house desk for me the other day. Let's just say it was priced to move. I love the pink, white and yellow chippy paint...So sweet!
How sweet will this look out in front of my Brimfield booth in May? You'll just have to come see for yourself...

Paws n Claws adventures in Pet sitting with Miss Emily

Isn't Mickey cute??
Whew! I have been taking care of all the pet sitting visits for Paws N Claws owned by my friend Patti. This one was a long stretch at 16 days. We had all kinds of weather but mostly windy cold and raw... Cape cod spring in other words. Went to many of my favorite houses and saw lots of my favorite fuzzy friends all over the mid Cape. I have a little time to myself now to sew quilts and make cupcakes then start another 2 week dog walking and pet sitting stretch. A special thanks to Korin and my sister Jess for helping make it all work out.

Miss Emily's Vintage Chenille Quilts

Been Cutting mounds of squares for my vintage chenille quilts. I will be making some larger ones this year. Mostly I make them in a size that works for babies and spoiled pets. I had a lot of requests for larger ones last season....so Miss Emily will give the people what they want.
Pretty quilts for wee ones. They will have some pretty vintage chenille on the back too. Sooooooo snuggly.
I will only be offering these at the May Brimfield show and the Wellfleet Oysterfest Craft Show.
Come back soon to see what is next on the menu....XOXO Emily

Fresh Crazy Cakes



A fresh batch!

I will be listing many of these in my etsy shop http://www.crazycakes.etsy.com/

Once again I am smack dab in the middle of a big stretch of pet sitting. I got to visit many of my favorite dogs and met a few new ones. Funny how when I seem to have fewer hours to spend in my sewing room I seem to be more focused and able to get more done. Go freakin' figure.

Holy crap. We made it to Florida in 2 days. I slept the whole time while Dave drove. We slept in the Carolinas somewhere. I was thrilled yo find that I can steal internet from their neighbors out on the screnned in sun-porch where I have been spending mornings with all the doggies looking at the water and huge freaky birds that come by every day.
All maymem broke lose when we showed up with Bella and the Musclekat500...Maddy and sasha have become best friends. There are also 3 cats and one old sweet pooch here too. Sasha loves anyone who shares the same affinity for rope as she does...



Now everyone is pretty chilled out. Samantha has 2 dogs and 2 cays. I am in LOVE with her boxer maddy.


this is the coolest old sign I have ever seen. I have no idea where it was, somewhere in The Carolinas or maybe Georgia.

These are growing in Sam's yard. She made me the best glass of orange juice I have ever had...and it was made with a vintage chrome and bakelite orange juicer. This place is so freskin cute I can hardly satnd it.

Here are my 2 who travel so much better thsn I thought they would. Thank god 2 days in the car ride with them could have been hell! It was a long freakin' ride. They just snuggled up in a big pile of dog blankets and so did I . Minus the 180.00 dollar speeding ticket we got on route 301 the ride was great.

And of course I can't go anywhere without a project so this is what I was working on when I was awake...some special vintage novelty fabric covered buttons. I have been hoarding these cute little bits for just such a project.

Below is sam at work at the fish camp, the cooles little shack that sells beer, burgers and bait. there are a super salty group of hilarious regulars who chill there and I love them all even the freaky spooky toothed ones. Southern folks are nothing like New Englanders...they are actually nice!

I love how chaotic and twisty the trees are around here.

xoem...mackin' it in a tank top showin' off her new ink. Will definetly go check out the fancy tattoo shops while I am here.

Emily Gets Crackin'

Been takin' it easy after the holidays...
Just starting to get back in to the swing of things again....filling in my inventory of Emily's greatest hits! Thought I would start with some pretty covered buttons. I love making these form all the little bits of vintage fabric and antique linens I have collected over the years. Cupcakes are next on the menu....I need a huge pile of them for this coming show season. Well, this weekend is a pet sitting weekend for me so I will be freezing my butt off walking dogs around The Cape in the bitter cold....XO Emily

I've also had some more work on my arm done. These beautiful flowers were done last wednesday. There are 3 of them and a few more vines and leaves were added too. It's still sore and itchy and peely. A few more days and it will feel like my skin again. Still a work in progress...

So lovely....XO Emily

After-holiday break for Emily

I have been taking care of the pet sitting for a friend who has a small business. Over the holidays, when she goes away, I take care of her client's dogs and cats. Below is Gracie the Great Dane, I am in love with her. She's the biggest & sweetest dog I know.


I didn't have time to make much while pet sitting and dealing with holiday family crap but....

My friend Korin has been busy with a new line of fine sterling profanity jewelry. I am simply love it, all of it. I have a total potty mouth and think each is perfect. can't wait to see what kind of goodies she comes up for Valentines day....Anything you can think of she can do in your size. Also great Divorce and break up rings or every day accessories if you are an old punk rocker...
