photo shoot

Today we staged product for the Studio Lune online shop debut. The light was gorgeous, our model was sweet and beautiful, and the photo's are giving me the shakes just looking at them. We're so excited to be one step closer to getting the new online shop set up and running.

Mel took a few in-action shots. She was so stealth, I didn't know she was taking most of them. Check out Dizzy Dame for her full shoot here!

Now it's back to editing a good 50 photos...and that's not the half of it! Still a lot more to take. A lot of work, but it's so fulfilling to see our vision coming together before our eyes!

Wanna Peek???
Ok.
See you 2morrow morning!

Yesterday was one of those fashion happy days. During a dye session on Wed nite, I experimented with a vintage polyester 70's dress I snagged at a swap. Originally it was an unappealing (to me) camel/caramel color with burgundy floral. After a bit of experimenting with some aged dye, I got the results I was hoping for. Love this Dress!


Last night I met LA at the studio to craft, have box noodles, and do a little photo shoot for her upcoming huge and cute etsy update. Lots of fun!


I also got a chance to try on some of Mel's dresses, which I instantly fell in love with. They have an amazing fit ... it was kind of a magical moment for me. I feel pretty serious about a great fitting dress.

The update for LuneVintage.etsy is on hold until Monday, just too many things to do this week! It's going to be a really great one, so check back soon :-D And of course, I'll talk all about it on Monday, alongside a peek into our Studio Lune photo shoot! ***GRIN***

ps. happy friday!!!

Working on a little update for the lunevintage.etsy shop, ready for Thursday evening! So many cute vintage pretties to take pictures of (my favorite!).

I want wall paper with the same pattern as this tin Thermos! Wouldn't that be great in a kitchen with seaglass green tile. Yesss...dreamy!

This clock is a tough one for me. I've kept it for almost exactly a year, but was never happy with where I put it. I guess it's because I don't have any tomato reds to pair it with. I do love it, but I'm glad to add it to the etsy collection, because I know it'll be just perfect for someone else!

I have a pair of these. They're not super rare, but every time I see them, I think they have such a modern, quite, and charming appeal when in glossy white. I've also seen them in bronze, but that's considerably less appealing...

New Workshops for '09 and November happenings

As promised, the new workshop schedule is up for the remainder of '09, including a learn to knit "Get Knitty" with Mel, "Get Festive" and go handmade for the holidays with Jill (me!), and in December, a "Get Hooked" learn to crochet with Holly! Check out the lineup on the Studio website



Plus, the online shop is looking close to being finished. A photo shoot this Sunday at the studio is the last step towards sharing the goods on the new site. We're pretty excited about how the collection has come together so far. Look for the shop to be open by November 15th! Until then, you can read a bit about it on the website.


November is shaping up to be a month of exciting new things! There are a couple of local shows going on. Supporting our local Etsy community is important to us. In December 2008, I decided to do the leg work to start up a Winnipeg Etsy Street Team. Since then, the membership is nearing 50 local Etsy sellers! It's taken a life of it's own, with several members taking leadership roles and helping to expand the team. One of those events being planned is the Friday, November 27th evening of the Wrap Me Up craft sale at the Costume Museum of Canada. We'll be there too, some come Check it out!

Regarding the weekend, let's just say it was crazy, fun, and not many pictures were taken, except some costume ones, and this one at the comic con that Todd vendored in. Luke loves the old batman tv show, so he met Adam West (which he couldn't understand where the Batman costume was), Sat in the bat car (black and red - neat), and took a picture with Gumbie. Pretty lucky boy! Lucky us to see that smile!



HAPPY NOVEMBER!

Happy Halloween!

This is the outfit I've been living in since yesterday, and probably won't retire it until sometime early tomorrow morning. I love being a walking rainbow!

All through school I was asked "Hey Jill, where's Jack?" I never understood how so many people could think they were being clever with that one, is that supposed to be funny? At last, I've let go of my nursery rhyme grudge, so whatever - "He broke his skull on a rock". Too dark? Here's my take on nursery Jill, including a super cute dress I snagged last month for $2.99 while thrifting. All it needed with a hem shorten, a bucket, and a coffee stained vintage apron (we have a few of those lying around...) and Bango! I'm ready for my fall down the hill.

So much to do today, including last minute costume alterations, pumpkin carving, seed baking, house cleaning, candle buying, candy giving, candy eating, wine drinking, and lots of dancing. I LOVE HALLOWEEN! Have a howl, and see you here tomorrow for a loving re-cap!

XO JIll

PS. What are you dressing up as this year?
