I started a vintage/crochet/knitting, etc. shop with my children last year in order to help them show off their talents and make a little extra cash while they worked their way through college and the pandemic. We called it “Vintagey” because that’s kind of what it is–a little bit of the new and a little bit of the old–vintagey. My son’s hand painted sneakers have done amazingly well and my crocheted and knitted items have all, but completely, sold out.
I chose not to share the shop for a while, because I wanted to see if they wanted to make the shop more their own thing. Turns out, they have no time for it, so it’s basically my shop (cue the laughing hysterically emoji now). Feel free to check it out. New stuff is coming. Check it out here. We’re low on inventory currently, but that’s due to my two jobs and life. I do have some ideas for spring, however. Patterns as well. What have you all been doing?
ECOSYSTEM
Positive growth.
Nature, in the common sense, refers to essences unchanged by man; space, the air, the river, the leaf. Art is applied to the mixture of his will with the same things, as in a house, a canal, a statue, a picture. But his operations taken together are so insignificant, a little chipping, baking, patching, and washing, that in an impression so grand as that of the world on the human mind, they do not vary the result.
Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
