I am a fashion designer / graphic designer who is taking time off to raise a child. I can’t sit still for long so created Red Fern Vintage, an Etsy shop, to keep me busy. I love treasure hunting, thrifting, and hitting up all the local flea markets and tag sales. I love this job! This blog hosts my inspirations and bits from my shop and personal life as it relates to fashion, design & vintage.

ear and hind quarter to my beloved ceramic Rhino.  His ear could be glued, but not the big section off the back.  So I printed out a template for a plaque and had my crafty husband use his mitre saw to sever off his head and cut out the plaque.  Glue on his ear and glued him to the wood and now he hangs under our deer head.</p> <p><br/>I wonder what I will break next…</p>http://redfernvintage.tumblr.com/post/44487295647http://redfernvintage.tumblr.com/post/44487295647Sun, 03 Mar 2013 16:43:35 -0500rhinoanimal plaqueceramicanimal headmountedhappy

art can accumulate throughout the house.  Use some of that to make Valentine’s Day cards to hand out to their classmates.  Print out a heart shape or trace a heart cookie cutter.  To create firmness, use a glue stick and paste to a paper bag.  They look cute and are so much more personal then store bought ones.</p>http://redfernvintage.tumblr.com/post/42217234644http://redfernvintage.tumblr.com/post/42217234644Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:12:18 -0500DIYValentinesKids valentineskids artclassroomart
