Sweet Judy Blue Origins

Well, I'm finally archiving my stockpile of vintage & designer clothes. I have talked about doing this for years and now I deliver. Those of you who follow my design blog Project Play Play, (representing!) may know me to be a bit of a clothes pony. Almost as long as I've been chirping about the vintage idea I've been advocating living simply. I'm a very complex little lady who has been known to grasp onto ideas for brief spells but these two thoughts stuck and in my newfound freedom ( I quit my job! Wheeee!) I've decided to put these ideas into practice, working hand in hand. So I propose for this uncertain year of frugality and risk taking to rid myself of all the burdensome-but completely unique & adorable-clothes that I've amassed over the years. Wha-wha-whhatt?! It's true blue, I kidd not. Here's the plan: I've set up this awkward little photo studio in my attic. I've got lights hanging from easels, a tripod and a digital camera with a time delay. Having shot product at my old company and modeling briefly for Berk's in Providence, I'm no novice behind or in front of the camera. Unfortunately my light isn't great though so you'll notice a kind of fuzziness to the shots. Aside from the model shots there will be additional close up photos with descriptions and sizes of each item on my Etsy site. And everything must go. So if you like anything you see here or want to learn more about an item, just surf on over to my Etsy site. Here is the link. SweetJudyBlue.etsy.com
Ok, go!

P.S. Be on the lookout for Play Play, my other Etsy site with art prints and fabrics (coming soon!)

  2. o please- It's all yours!! I'll bring it to Colorado. FYI, I bought that at a garage sale on Kirkland Street, circa 1995!! It was made in Scotland and needs a good leather cleaning!
