Pinkalicious Prom & Vintage Show

Pinkalicious Prom & Vintage Show 
Joe & Jessica (Me) • Embroidered Vest

Friday we hopped in the car & headed to Anna, Texas, for the Pinkalicious Prom & Vintage Show produced by Ashley of Texas Trash Jewelry! We thoroughly enjoyed the drive through Northeast Texas & scouted out several thrift stores we visited on our way home Saturday.

Joe and I had a blast dressing up for the prom!!! I didn't want to waste time waiting to see if I would be crowned Prom Queen, so I wore my own tiara. I also wore a thrifted denim vest that I had embroidered by Embroidery by Andrea. She embroidered a Texas & two pink pistols that I created on the back. I paired that with two vintage slips I layered, as well as my Cowgirl boots & I was ready to go. Joe scored a great vintage Western shirt at a nearby thrift store & paired it with his Cowboy hat & boots along with one of his Dad's bolo ties & belt buckle.

Prior to the prom, we had the opportunity to do some Early Bird shopping. There were tons of great handmade & vintage vendors on-hand, including Texas Trash Jewelry, of course, Blossom Shop, Dee Dee Style, and more. It was a lot of fun seeing all the vendors dressed in their prom attire & they all had great set-ups.

The weather was perfect allowing us to enjoy a fun-filled evening under the Texas stars. We enjoyed some Barn Red wine by Grayson Hills Winery & some great country tunes by the band. It was a wonderful opportunity to visit with some veteran Funky Finds vendors & meet some new folks. Also, the prom raised over $900 for the Anna Food Bank, too! Many thanks to Ashley for organizing such a wonderful event!

GIVEAWAY: The Silver Craftsman

We first met Sheldon Roy of The Silver Craftsman at the Funky Finds Holiday Shopping Experience in November (booth photo below). He's a personable & talented teenager with a strong support system (ie: his family & friends). Funky Finds events are a family effort, so we thoroughly enjoyed seeing a family who so obviously works together to create something special. The Silver Craftsman offers unique jewelry & accessories that are made using silver flatware. Amongst my favorites are the stamped silverware cuff bracelets (pictured) that can be customized. The silver napkin rings are also terrific!

March marks The Silver Craftsman's one year anniversary. Since beginning last Spring, Sheldon has added a variety of new products to his line that will be debuted at the 5th Annual Funky Finds Spring Fling next month. New items include earrings, a new bracelet style, wind chimes & wedding accessories. If you happen to be in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, you can also find The Silver Craftsman at the Fort Worth Herb Society's 26th Annual Herb Festival in May.
