How Do You Do?

Hello! My name is Rachel, and I blog over at Transient Expression. This usually includes outfits, DIY projects and tutorials (especially accessories), and a little bit of food. An introduction seemed in order since I recently joined The Etsy Register to promote my shop, Labwear. That's where I sell vintage finds, but I differ a bit from a lot of the Register participants in that I also sell my handmade items, too. I make vinyl luggage tags and bowties/hair bows from vintage recycled men's neckties. Here's a little taste of what my shop contains right now.

Luggage tags, perfect for making sure your bag stands out from the pack:

I'd be thrilled if you'd visit my blog or shop, and please stay tuned for the debut of fresh handmade items and vintage in the very near future.

Can you believe that summer is halfway over already?  It's hard to believe!  It's time to start putting together our autumn wardrobes, or at least find some pieces that we can wear make the transition from one season to the other.  And what better color than green?  It's definitely one of those hues that looks great with your summer or fall essentials.
