About Me

I'm making things that need homes. Please check out my Etsy store Victorianbustle by clicking on the link below! For additional pictures of my Etsy gems, feel free to browse my Etsy gems album here on Myspace. More craftiness very soon so please keep your eyes peeled!

Any merchants looking to sell Victorianbustle in their boutique, I sell my items at 50% retail. Also, if there is one item that you like specifically and want to order in bulk, let me know so that I can secure supplies.

I will be featuring the models of my etsy gems here in this area, as their photos are posted on my profile image and blog. Dani of pinupsodapop.com fame is my first model that I am featuring here regularly, stay tuned for a couple others in the works. I will post their websites and myspace profiles here shortly...

I gotta get out of the South

I know, how incredibly predictable of me to say. But the South is killing me. Check it: Every month when mother nature visits, I get pustules on my body that look like someone has beaten me with a bat...

Sometimes I just don’t know why I even bother anymore

Broke as a joke again. Funny how quickly that happens. Overdrawn in my savings account (how does THAT happen) and hubby's checking account b/c of a returned check fee that bounced TWICE. No extra cash...

Another year older

Victorianbustle wants to hear from you

I'm a time-traveller, and in case you've not noticed, a lot of my designs have that time-travelling bent. Remember when thrifting wasn't just a cool nifty treat, but a means of survival? Oh, you don't...

Victorianbustle is dying.

I'm not exaggerating. I've been doing my part to help other fellow sellers eat and pay their bills recently as I've been buying my share of vintage and DIY -- doing my part to be green and help out a ...

Thrifting

Is fun. I just scored the buy of a century today at a local thrift. I found a pair of damn near mint condition 40's heeled oxford lace up shoes for 3.25. I would buy these shoes regardless of how much...

So depressing

I am beside myself today with chagrin. I'm totally disappointed, sad, and hopeless. I received my first "neutral" feedback on my etsy jewels today. I haven't been selling all that long, and I would ha...

Slithering and slimy.

When it rains in my life, it pours. And I can't seem to get out from under the flooding. Our car is needing a tune-up badly, as she stalls out occasionally. Computer caught a bad virus, and had to put...
