Eleanor & Lorena...Adventures in re-branding!

To fans of Fleetwood & Co...it's another new year and I felt it was time to make some changes. Along with a ton of new little pretties I've made and am getting ready to list for you, I felt a name change was in order. I wanted something that reflected my love for history and all things pretty and vintage. 


So along comes Eleanor & Lorena, the names come from Eleanor Roosevelt and her best friend (and alleged secret lover) Lorena Hick. I adore their story of a love that could just never be, due to of course her political and historical status. But still the story and their love letters are beautiful. And I wanted the name to reflect onto the jewelry that I make. That vintage love, beauty and history.


So there is the reasoning behind the madness of re-branding my shop, let me know what you think of the new name! ♥

Friday finds - Moonrise Kingdom

So I've come across some great handmade finds again this week, I will say I just watched the movie "Moonrise Kingdom" which is a movie I absolutely adore. And if you've seen it some of these items may look a little familiar to you as this weeks finds are all "Moonrise Kingdom" by Wes Anderson inspired.
 Enjoy...

Just a little note...

I've been so busy adding a ton of new items to the shop lately I'm getting frazzled! 
But I did realize today that I am actually coming up on 200 sales (currently at 191, only 9 more to go) Which I am super excited about, I know that doesn't seem like a whole lot in 2 years. But it feels so good just knowing there are people out there that love something as much as you do and who are willing to help support you in doing something you are truly passionate about. 
I can't thank my friends, family and customers enough from the bottom of my heart you are truly appreciated!

From around the room

Here's a peek into my lovely home...

 As you can probably tell I have a bit of a "thing" for vintage and american history

 These are all random pictures from around my cozy bedroom, it's kind of like sleeping in your own mini museum, and I love it that way!

 Unfortunately my wall hanging skills are a tad askew!

Why yes that is John Wayne riding a wrought iron steed! 

And this little beauty...well that's my tooth. Had a pretty bad cavity and the tooth had to go bad I couldn't just let it go in vain so I mounted it, and hung it on my wall like a prized hunted beast. Gruesome? a little. Awesome? totally.

 I happened upon these awesome pictures in an old book I bought at my local thrift store, not sure what war they are from but they are way to cool.

And here is my prized pussy lamp with Captain Lou Albano standing close by, just for the hell of it

I upcycled and repurposed this lovely now jewelry holder/display I have for my personal jewelry in my room. I'm not sure what it was before but it works out great for jewelry now!

OH and BTW....

 Hope you enjoyed my little room tour, I'll take you on some more adventures soon!
