Thrifting: Jadite and Coral
I was rewarded for venturing out in this deluge! I found this amazing Jadite batter bowl and some lovely textiles. The woman who rang me up at the register could not stop telling me what a find the bowl is. I couldn’t agree more! (And yes, it will be in store soon!)
Tea Tins and Roses
Vintage Tea Tin + Party Colored Roses = My Favorite Floral Arangement
Vintage Tins are thrift store staple. You can usually find them for a couple of dollars—typically a bit dinged and scratched, but that just adds to the charm. Newer tea tins will work too; I especially love Harney and Son’s Tea tins. The tea is amazing and the tins are so pretty, I use them all around the house!
Tip: Most Tea tins aren’t water tight. But you can easily protect your furniture by using a zip lock baggie as a water proof liner. You won’t want the zipper part but basic plastic bags are too flimsy to work. Just set the bag into your tin and cut at 3/4″ above the edge. Fill with water and arrange your flowers.
In Progress

Enjoy.
New Lingerie Bags
New Art Lingerie Bag: Romantic Interlude. One of a kind and perfect for any bride. Exclusively at Mireio
The weekend graced the north coast with a bit of sun on Friday and Saturday. So, IZ and I made the most of it and blitzed through our very overgrown yard. But I’m hoping to be in the studio most of this week, working on new lingerie bags.
I have to say, I’m very excited about these new lingerie bag. I really enjoy doing one of a kind work—I start out with a huge stack of my favorite vintage fabrics, laces, beads, and buttons. And before I’m done, there’s a huge creative mess on my table. . . I do messy really well! It’s also lovely to envision Mireio being part of someone’s big day. The first bag, Magic Carpet Ride, sold to a very sweet bride who is getting married this weekend. I will be wishing her well as she starts her new life —and that’s certainly inspiration to create more of these stunning lingerie bags.
So, off to make a mess I am! But I’ll be back through the week to share my progress and some surprises along the way. (hint: there’s new glass coming to Mireio!) Stay tuned!
