MY NEW VINTAGE FIND: CASH REGISTER FLAGS!

BOBBIN FOR BOBBINS AND OLD SPOOLS!

NIFTY LITTLE SIX -16!

I so love this little SIX - 16 Kodak Camera and the great little Kodak film reel canister I just recently discovered! This is only the beginning of utilizing some great vintage props for further use! Happy Happy....so very Happy!!

IT'S ALL IN THE LITTLE THINGS YOU FIND!

Lately, I have been on a mission to seek out vintage finds! I came across this wonderful cutting board Kodak Eastman made early century. This one is the No. 1 Edition which is so tiny but so darn adorable! I can see why they made these at this size from what I can recollect from seeing my Mom and Dad's old photos from the early 1900's. There photograph albums were tiny with tiny little pictures! I am in love this cutting board but would hate to sharpen the dull blade for the fear of losing it's old nostalgic value!

OLD TOWNE ORANGE.....FOUND SOMETHING!

My friend Julie and I made our way up to Orange Circle yesterday so that I could introduce her to a great place to go antiquing! Julie is a fabulous photographer and we both stumbled on this great twin lens camera by Kodak! I have two of them that I just recently purchased which are DuaFlex II and a DuaFlex III. Great little cameras that came with an external flash like Julie is holding here in the photo. Believe me..... I so wanted this little gem myself! But I will keep looking around to see if I can find one the great vintage brown that Julie got too! Yes, I have camera envy! But not for long! Found one and it is coming home!

MY NEW {BUT OLD} KODAK TOURIST!

Lately, I have been in the mood for acquiring new things that are very old! I guess I am feeling enamored with the look of nostalgic but classy objects! I have acquired old brewery crates from the early 1900'a from NYC that I just recently displayed for props on a wedding dessert table and some old twin lens cameras that I hope to use for a photo shoot for my recently engaged brother! But this I love! My new {but old} Kodak Tourist!

HOWDY PARTNER!!! NINA LIKES HER NEW RED COWBOY HAT!

My sweet adorable Nina has a sassy side! This year she wanted to be a Cowgirl for Halloween..... I just couldn't resist this red cowboy hat from G. W. Little!

SPOOKY CUPCAKES AND SILPADA PARTY!

This should be a very frightful but delicious party!

DITZIE CAKES STUDIO LOGO!

Now that I have been doing a little photography for Ditzie Cakes, I needed to design a nice watermark and logo for my pictures! Had a little fun with the play on the cake design!

"GIRLS NIGHT OUT!" - CERTIFICATE

This is going to be quite the party! Maybe I should try to enter this contest that Victoria's Spa and Salon is giving away this Thurday night? Anyway.....I was looking for a killer design and what could say that better than Fire Red Stilletos! Awesome!

A NICE POSTCARD FOR PRINT RELEASE!

Seriously... I have just come across a friend of mine's printing design services and I can't believe how extraordinary all his finished orders have turned out! He has satisfied the pickiest artist in me who seems to scrutinize every detail and find every flaw. The prices are reasonable as you will be assured that turn around is quick and every single card is a keeper! In the past I have managed to throw out mostly half of my cards. This time..... all of them will eventually go to one of my future customers! You may contact Kidder Design Group for all of your future printing!

DESIGNING FOR CONNER'S BABY SHOWER!

This shower was such a joy to design for! There were menu's to be made which were placed in dark wooden frames to advise the guests of their food choices. I also designed labels for the apothecary jars that would contain a vast amount of candy...oh my! And these sweet adorable tags adorned the Truffle Pops and were tied with either an orange or nautical blue ribbon! It looked great! If you want to see the end results then please visit my Ditzie Cakes Blog! Click here to see Baby Conner's Beautiful shower at the Crystal Cove Country Club!

FUN PACKAGING FOR APRONS HEADING TO BATH BODY AND BEYOND!

I am so excited about these last two designs I created for a customer today! These u-boards are designed to package some really fun aprons that will be hanging in the store of Bath Body and Beyond ...hopefully really soon! Can't wait!!!!

ROCK ON! RITZY BABY!

DITZIE CAKES GOES POP!

ASD LIVING- GOT ANDIE'S CUPCAKES!

Well, Asd Living still carries a few of my designs still! The Sweet Cupcake {that never dies} pattern is going strong and so is the Cherry Soda as well as the Sophia pattern. YAY! And those cute little apron boxes for both the adults and kid styles are adorable too, aren't they? Those I really enjoyed designing a few years back ...and the labels for the kitchen linen towels sure were fun!

FEELING A LITTLE RITZY FOR YOUR BABY!!

So excited.... as Ritzy Baby and I have decided what coordinate patterns should be determined to go with each one of the Shabby Chic colorways! The Pretty Petal Blue is definitely going to look chic with the Leopard Dots in the Cocoa Puff and the Moonstone is going to look striking with the Hot Blossom Zebra! I can't wait to see these designs presented in their finished products!!! Stay tuned...we have more designs coming to you that you are going to LOVE! I do!

RITZY MOD BABY!

Another fun and styling pattern going in for Ritzy Baby! These are going to look adorable for the Hip Young Mom who wants to look oh so cool strolling down the sidewalk with this in hand!

STELLA SWIMWEAR LOGO!

I knew from the moment I saw this lettering that it had potential to be Stella Swimwear's new logo design! The other colorways I did were just pretty little icings on the cake..... but that is all I am going to show you!!

ANDIE DESIGNS FOR RITZY BABY!

What a wonderful opportunity to get to express myself again with this great company by the name of Ritzy Baby! I am delighted to be creatively working with the owner Bridgette Volz as we continue to make way with new and exciting fabric designs to add to her new line. We had touched base about a year ago and have been just anxious to collaborate together as she wanted her Ritzy Baby line more exclusive. Finally, as all good things happen in a matter of time, we are now able to start working on some exciting patterns together!!! I am thrilled that Bridgette has asked me to design for her and I am thrilled that she loves our very first design along with it's matching coordinate pattern! This "Shabby Chic Floral" will will be printed in the color "Moonstone" along with the "Wild Zebra" pattern in the color "Hot Blossom." This is going to look ShabFabulolus!!!!! I can't wait!

WHO! WHO!....WHO DESIGNED THAT OWL!

Very Cute! I see my "Hooty Hoot Owl" textile print looking rather stylish on this romper by Right Bank Babies! The RBB apparel store is lovely by the way! Even though this one owl pattern I did is no longer available...... it is a must to browse their online store!

LOVE!

Ditzie Cakes is really looking forward to making something Sweet for Valentines Day! These are some of the labels I am creating for the boxes and the for the Truffle Pops! I am taking orders if you want to share something sweet for the loves in your life! XOXO Andie

BROADMINDED CLOTHING AND ANDIE'S CUPCAKES?

Yumminess! I just recently found this site and spotted my cupcake design on a site called Broad Minded Clothing! It might be a hugely alternative when it comes to my cupcake design sewn up by the average retail end....but I like it! Bernie Dexter, that cute dark haired looking pin up model you see in this collage, also used the Tiki Print I designed for her own line so you must check that one out too! This company also used my "The Horror" movie monster fabric as well and I really loved what they did with that one! How fun!
