The Flock (I'm giving one away!)

My little flock of Owl Change Purses turned out ever so lovely, if I do say so myself. Photographing owls on a string is kind of like photographing a herd of children- they don't hold still. And two of them kept trying to make out. I busted them in several photos, unable to keep their flaps off each other. It was kind of romantic.

I'm giving on of these away on my Facebook fan page (link on the right). All you have to do is share the Hot Butter fan page with your friends and let me know. For bonus chances, have your friends tell me you sent them. It's really a shameless ploy to get my fan count up so I can reach more people. Expect to see me working hard to make Hot Butter a success in the future. :D



If you can't wait to get your hams on one of these babies, fret not. I'll be adding them to my shop later this afternoon.

Owl Pouch

I have nearly given in to the temptation of purchasing a Keyka Lou pattern several times, but she got my heart last night with the pattern for this adorable little pouch.

So of course I had to buy it and a few of its adorable pattern friends. Here is my first finished owl pouch:





Beetus the owl approves.



And so does Spiderman. I have several more of these in varying shades of doneness. I'm going to give one away soon on facebook, so if you're not already a fan, use the link on the right to become one!

Green light!

I officially opened Hot Butter Vintage yesterday. It is still light on the inventory, but I plan on adding a few things as often as I can. Mama needs to sell some stuff so she can buy more stuff. :D



Also, tips on good thrift stores in Chicago and/or around Buffalo or Akron, New York?

I'm researching woodland creatures for a fun new line I'm working on. I have some big HOT ideas flying around my head.

Polaroid Effects

I "Polaroided" myself at Rollip.



You have to pay for high quality copies, but it's free to download the small fries. Try it and share! :D

Hot Butter Vintage Preview

I'll have a couple enamel brooches.



A pretty beaded ascot shirt.



Butter yellow pleated sport skirt.



Plaid short sleeved top.

I should have these and possibly more items listed soon (like tonight I hope, but maybe tomorrow). I'll be sure to let you know!
Bonus pug:

At last!

New long wallets in the shop! I'm also getting ready to open my vintage shop in the next day or so with a couple items to start. I'm so excited to share my treasures with you!

Progress

I've been working on this set of long wallets for what feels like ages.



Something seems to be going on at some point every day, and the days that I don't have plans I have to go get groceries or something.

So at long last, I have eleven wallets in their finishing stages. I have more cut out, but I underestimated my interfacing needs. Anyone have a good source for buying interfacing? All the bolts I've found are about the same as buying it at Joanne's with a coupon.



I'm always excited to see my card slot flags. My life got less tedious when I realized I could chain piece the top stitching.

I'll be back soon to let you know when the update happens. If you haven't already, please become a fan of Hot Butter on facebook. My fans there are usually notified of shop updates sooner than I get to it here. I also plan on doing more facebook giveaways and discounts soon!
