At the Vintage Market last week we also sold these original design T-shirts...They went like hotcakes!
Soooo cute, ........  right?????

I mean.... Who wants to be well-behaved....???
A little UN-conformity brings out creativity......
Or is it the way around....????

My friend Rachel and I designed these shirts together and wear them with pride....

Get your-self one of these shirts while we still have some available: limited qualities....

T-shirts are soft cotton that will only get softer with wear and laundering.

I have only a few sizes left.  Please visit my Etsy site to see them:

$16 each
shipping within the US $4

I painted a 1950's gossip seat in my favorite color:  seafoam green.  Seafoam green was my favorite color when I was a child, and it still is....!!! And it certainly is making a come-back!!!!  Lucky me....
I love it!
Added some flowers and bird on the front and one on the back.. Super cute, if I say so myself.
I you are interested int his piece, it is for sale ....  I have a tendency to paint more furnishings than I have room for in my house....  Oops!

Just let me know if you're interested... 
{I would love to sell it locally....}

Have a terrific day!
Crystelle

What.....??!?!!!????
Crystelle Boutique is going out of business?????
Well, yes and no.....

After some considerate consideration {lol!} it has become time for me to slow down a bit with my Etsy shops and spend more time on the everyday Mom stuff....
I am a lucky girl!  My husband has worked hard in order to be in a position that his children can have a stay-at-home mom....  And what does mom do?  She spends all her 'free' time listing, selling and shipping Etsy products....  Hmmmmm.....
So I decided to 'quit business' so to speak, and get with the program....






The Vintage Market we held last weekend was the kick-of to my Etsy clearance sales.....
It was a HUGE success.  Lotsa  people came, lots of old faces were warmly greeted, and new friends were made.    We drank lots of lemonade {thanks kids!!} and good times were had by all.... 

And so many people said:  "This is so fun!  You should do this every year!"  Well, let's just say: I would LOVE to but.... that kind-of defeats the whole purpose of the event in the first place.... {heeheehee!!!}

So if you have seen something in my shops that you absolutely love and can't live without, let me know, and I will give you a good deal.  In the mean time:  my website will continue, as I will keep posting about my creative projects.  Can't just turn off my creative spirit....!!!!

Have a great day!

p.s.  posting some photo's of some of the fun displays from the Vintage Market....
Au revoir!

Look at this COOL vintage locker! 

Wouldn't it be a GREAT storage cabinet for your fabrics in your sewing room?  Super cute, right...?
That's kinda what fabric designer Leah Duncan thought.
Look at the awesome way she stores her unique prints in the photo below.
Leah and her fun prints were featured in Country Living Magazine, April 2012 {page 24}

My nephew is leaving for his mission today.  What a thrilling day.....
He was called to serve in England....
We are so SUPER excited for him!  So proud for his willingness to take a two year break out of his fun-filled and exciting young life to serve the Lord.....

Wishing him all the luck in the world.  Our thoughts and prayers go with him.

Linking up to Flashback Friday

Here you have it:  a Scandinavian flag.  So fun, painted onto a little nightstand or end-table with two drawers that have an angled (sloped) front.  The flag of Sweden

Well, it was about time I made a little dresser in honor of my husband's parents:  they are serving a mission as we speak in Sweden.  They send us regular emails and are having the time of their lives....

The Swedish flag is so festively bright with an awesome simple design:  a Scandinavian cross made of blue and golden yellow.  I love it....
Hmm, do those colors kinda remind you of IKEA....????
Yep!  IKEA is from Sweden and proud of it......!!

The Scandinavians are awesome and creative designers and out of the box thinkers.
Lots of fun designs and designers from there....
