Hi. I’m back with more pimp for The Lead Chandelier. This time, I’m excited about some quick and super cute promo videos that Bregan has created to introduce her crafts to TLC site visitors. (I’m also in love with this video because of the soundtrack - and Frank from The Audio Muffin deserves the shout cause he made it!)
See more on her YouTube channel.

FAVOURITE VINTAGE SHOP
Don’t delay! We only have until Friday!!
Alia from Sweetshorn Vintage has written this installment of Etsy Seller of the Week.
I have a major design crush on my online friend Helen Dardik. Her bright and colorful works are cheerful without being too cutesy. Her colorful prints are featured in her adorable (not to mention affordable) Etsy shop. Her drool-worthy home tour on Design Sponge revealed a sunny decor I would love to recreate in my home.
I am in love with her design aesthetic and it has me planning my future nursery already! Check out her blog to see her illustrations and pattern design. Her website also features sweet handmade toys that adults and children alike would love.
Of course I need you to see Leah’s illustrations because I have a really intimate appreciation for her subject matter. Particularly this one!!!
She has this exciting announcement to share!
ORIGINAL WORK: I am pleased to announce that I have begun showing with the gallery, Sebastian Foster. They have a large selection of my original work (and prints) for sale online along with the work of an incredible group of artists. http://sebastianfoster.com I also have a few original pieces that I haven’t had time to put in my etsy shop yet, but can give more info to anyone interested.
You may remember the Vintage Shasta Camper obsession’s start. I love the comments on that post - especially the one where the guy says he is hoping to find a camper/trailer bride soon. I kinda tried to blog about it too, but I need to brainstorm what to do with that site now.
Knitwear porcelain…sign me up!
Alyssa Ettinger has turned everyday things, like a Ball jar, in to beautiful things and thats why she’s our pick for Etsy Seller of the Week.
Alyssa’s shop is packed with great gift ideas and her knitwear porcelain collection is a pretty winter white home accessory.
I love the idea of a handmade holiday and Sara Carr has got some sweet gifts in her Etsy shop for the holiday season.
There is this girl that is tall and beautiful and smart and creative. She lives in Austin, TX and she makes things. She was an art major, she studied photography, and her approach to everything in life is creative. Her name is Bregan and she has exciting news.
She will now be sharing her latest endeavors and all of that creativity with the free world, and I am so excited about it. Check out her new blog, the Lead Chandelier.
Also, she is Open for Business at TheLeadChandelier.Etsy.com and has posted her debut product line. Handmade Stationery for all Seasons.
Now, I don’t want to give too much away at this point, but she is making a video commercial for this product line and I think its gonna be pretty cool. I’ll let you know when its ready for your viewing pleasure. I really can’t wait. The only thing I will tell you is that she and I sing, Rob plays guitar and she can make a stop motion video. Hold your breath!
Meanwhile, the Etsy store also features Shrinky Dink Artwork Originals, which she will tell you all about on her blog, here. Enjoy!
Once upon a time, while hanging out with my brother in Austin, TX, he challenged me to an ‘are you green enough” off, which resulted in a ridiculous conversation where he taught me that we all need to make sure our home grown chickens are eating unprocessed feed. That’s funny… You can laugh at him and I will tell him that you did.
I like to imagine Joe Wirtheim, sitting in Portland Oregon having a similar conversation with his little sister, and then deciding to make these “agit-prop” posters to help guide her towards the right decisions. haha!
Do you wanna save the earth? I do, and I also wanna hang these throw back propaganda images up on the wall to help cheer me in my efforts.
From Joe’s website:
I enjoyed the charm of the active-voice propaganda, like a mother telling you to eat your vegetables - who can argue with that? Planting a garden, riding a bike, and just getting up and doing something. I found out that kind of art is called “agit-prop” or agitational propaganda, because it persuades the audience to get up and do something, not just change their minds.
Thanks OhDeeDoh for the introduction to this Etsy Seller.
Lisa Congdon is kinda everywhere right now. Let’s see what it’s all about.
This piece is for sale on 20×200
Sweet Love Vintage has got my attention and that makes them our etsy shop of the week.
When you can’t get your butt out of bed on Saturday morning to catch the worm at all of those flea markets and garage sales you know where you can turn to find just the right….painted vintage camera of your dreams.
Sweet Love has too many things that I want and really I feel that I need.
It seems that Sweet Love has been rising bright and early and they have been scouring for the best vintage treasures that the Midwest has to offer, like the vintage sign below which I don’t think I should live any longer without.
Some of my other favorites…
