Finally Jacket Weather!

 

I've been waiting to throw on some layers! Linen is perfect for starting the day with multiple pieces and then shedding some when (if) it warms up in the afternoon. All DDG venues are well-stocked with Flax, Blue Fish, Cynthia Ashby, Match Point, La Fixsun and more. Flax generally lists in the Etsy shop and on www.shopdinosaurdrygoods.com. Blue Fish, Cynthia Ashby, Match Point and La Fixsun are usually on eBay. Poshmark is potluck :-) Check them all out. And don't forget, you can always come to Poplar Ridge to shop in person at the studio-store. Just contact me for an appointment.

So Many Vintage Clothes

 

What am I doing with so many pieces of vintage clothing these days? They are coming out of the Moravia home that I am emptying out for friends. The 100s of boxes of textiles contain anything from curtains to feed sack to cute calico to barkcloth to sparkly tulle to vintage clothing from all decades. Most every piece of clothing is flawed in some respect. Some things I can mend, some things I can't. Most pieces are unique and fascinating. That is why they were collected in the first place. Many have a chunk taken out at the hem, as they were collected mainly for their intriguing fabric or trim value. Luckily, I like to mend. Unfortunately, I am not a great stain-removal wizard, but I give it my best shot. You are welcome to come over and sift through the collection yourself. Be in touch. It's May now and we had better be done with this project in the next month or so. Or just enjoy what I have listed on the website, Etsy and eBay.

DDG at the City Market on Mother's Day

 

You'll find me at one of my happy places tomorrow - Mother's Day - at the Everson Museum. 
The City Market takes place outside on the plaza, but as a bonus, be sure to go inside the museum, too.

I'll have Flax, vintage clothes and accessories and vintage linens. This is the first market we've done since 2019! Should be a beautiful day for it.

Summer 2021 Update

 

Nothing goes according to plan. So I have this great new barn and a fantastic sign (that exceeds the size allowed by local zoning). I'm just not ready to be open to the public with regular hours. Shoppers can schedule an appointment to stop in and that gives me time to tidy up first. Call, text or email.

In the meantime, find DDG online in the usual places: Etsy, Ebay, Poshmark and on our own website www.shopdinosaurdrygoods.com. And I still sell antiques and clothing at Found in Ithaca.

Spring Changes at DDG

 

Spring is bringing some welcome changes at Dinosaur Dry Goods. We have vacated our rangy space in King Ferry and are readying a new space in a new barn on our property in Poplar Ridge. I'll be able to garden and work and work and garden, etc. No more driving back and forth and bowing to the landlord. We have electricity, heat and A/C! As soon as the inside walls are up and it gets close to inhabitance, I'll post more pictures and let you know when we can be open to the public. In the meantime, we are still selling the wide range of goods on Etsy, Ebay, Poshmark and on our own website www.shopdinosaurdrygoods.com. And locally, we still sell at Found in Ithaca.

Watch as Donna oohs and aahs over bits and pieces of lace and such that she purchased from me and other vendors at Found in Ithaca. I love her enthusiasm!
