LEAViNG 2012, MOViNG iNTO 2013

Last Instagram pics from 2012.
2012 was a wonderful year. Opened Frankie Marie by Rehcy, my Etsy vintage clothing boutique, moved into a new house with an awesome home studio, and made the "quit your backup job and jump 100% into financially depending on my company" leap. So many exciting things planned for Rehcy and Rehcy Vonne in 2013! I can't wait to share it all with you!

 Fun times in October. My birthday, carving a pumpkin king, new Rehcy Vonne garments, a few exciting house projects, and finding some fabulous items for Frankie Marie. 

 I have been shooting and editing like crazy all month, and I can't wait to share all of the new items from studio de REHCY!

WEEK AT THE STUDiO: PUMPKINING AND BIRTHDAYS

I have decided that pumpkin patches are one of my most favorite places. Here I coined the verb "to pumpkin" or "going pumpkining" meaning to go gather pumpkins for fall decor. 

My beautiful birthday flowers from my Love. :-*

A new 1970s treasure for Frankie Marie. Love this skirt!

Amazing vintage necklace. Available soon at Frankie Marie by Rehcy.

Our pumpkin loot. So much fun with one of my fav peeps, Peculiar Pigeon.

Painting a shelf, this is after the first coat. Can't wait to show you the completed project!

Carving Pumpkana the Pumpkin King!

Shooting a silk dress from our Rehcy Vonne 2012 collection. Didn't my Love take some great pics?!

Krylon, you are a miracle worker! Love you!

DAY AT THE STUDiO: LATE NiGHT ViSiTORS

A few new treasures for Frankie Marie

My late night celebrity visitor, Mr. Geico Gecko, himself.

(He scared me to death!)

Awesome 1970s earrings for Frankie Marie. Love, love, love them. Totally woodland fairy thought inducing. They make me wanna put flowers in my hair and dance through the forrest.

(available here)

Absolute necessity for successful fashion illustration, Prismacolor pencils.

 My super quick and easy, make-shift, chicken fajitas and some baked potato wedges for the Irish little Irish girl in me. All my "cooking" is super simple because cooking is yucky! 

(Ingredients: Chopped bell peppers; Tyson grilled chicken chunks; home-grown, sliced banana peppers; torn chedder cheese slices; and Mission flower tortillas)

Here's a little something from outside my work life, a little statue before he is re-painted. I'm doing my living room in all white! Heck yeah, can't touch this! :-P

More home decor items before they are re-painted white.

Essentials to the pattern making process: paper, measuring tape, scissors, peach, ruler, and most importantly, Stargate SG 1. 

Day I first got my ping-pong table. Notice that moon-pie?
