Visit to Panache

Today was the grand opening of Panache, and marked the first time I've had my things in an actual store. I'm kind of excited, and it's weird to walk into a store and see my things. It's a wee little independant store, but it's a good start and I'm happy.

My pillows on a little sofa near the back. I still like the term "caterpillow", hee hee.

A rack in the middle of the store. Those are my aprons hanging on the right.

Some of my many, many purses. The shop owner actually bought two from me.

So I spent an hour or so poking around in the store, talking to the shop owner, and squeeing a bit. My neighbor came with me and after we finished that, we decided to go wander around the area. It's a neat neighborhood, with lots of buildings that look like they haven't been touched for decades. One store had goldenrod flocked wallpaper that I was contemplating stealing right off the wall. (I have a completely insane and random fondness for extremely ugly 70's things, which is even stranger given that I'm only 24.) Unfortunately most of the shops were empty, but it could be a neat area given the chance. We did find an antique shop, where I happened upon THESE...

Are they not the freakiest little things ever? I sort of love them, and was sorely tempted to buy them just to hide around the house and scare the crap out of people. I did buy a pair of tiny green ceramic owls, which I need to take a picture of.
