We heart The Carrboro Artisan Market! October 12, 2009

I guess we should love the Carrboro Artisan Market, since we started it with Sarah McLane.  But the actual event was so much fun that we love it more than we expected to.  All of the artisans were amazing, and so many people came out.  It takes more than a misty grey day to keep Carrboro away from hand crafted goods!

It was so much fun that we’re going to do it again in November!  The actual date will be announced soon.  You can check out all the great vendors at the Carrboro Artisan Market website and check out it’s photo album on Flickr.

We’ve posted new pics of our booth on our Flickr, and we’re now carrying craft bundles, vintage button cards and vintage linens at the store.  If you too have a weakness for vintage fabrics and notions, you should come by and check them out.   You can geek out with me and Rebecca about all the cool things to do with a button or a pillowcase.

Tonight is the night! June 12, 2009

Our Fashion opening featuring Revamp’s new summer line is tonight, and we are celebrating all the great revamp fashion with our Ode to Revamp.
Today I’m going to celebrate Revamp clutches and Tux Dresses.  The oh, so cute clutch made of various vintage scrap material, combined with cute buttons and sometimes lace.  We love how versatile they are! And the Tux dress is a long time favorite, ready to party or to drink tea.  These dresses are perfect to take on vacation.  They also look cute as tunics over jeans.

Revamp’s Fashion Walk June 8, 2009

We’ll be hosting the Revamp summer runway collection of evening dresses and day wear with an opening on Friday June 12th from 7pm to 10pm, during Carrboro’s monthly Art Walk.
These one-of-a-kind pieces by Revamp designer Jamie Powell were recently featured as the finale of Raleigh Fashion Week, and will be available exclusively at Roulette Vintage from June 12th to 30th.

We’re really excited about all of Jamie’s new fashion, especially the scarf dresses that twirl so beautifully!  Come enjoy an evening of fashion, drinks, and homemade treats with us and Jamie this Friday.  We’d love to see all of you there!

Bridget, in a Revamp scarf dress!

In honor of this event, I have decided to do an Ode to Revamp style.  Each day I will post a different picture of someone rocking Revamp.  The lovely Bridget has the honors today.
