Maureen Smith

****Maureen spent a year and half in commercial art school right after high school. This almost ruined her and sucked all the joy out of doing art for years. She was a hairdresser, theatre critic, insurance clerk, computer programmer, game, book and comic seller, would be novelist (not necessarily in that order) over the years. Now she tortures David Fewster at work and does art for herself at home. And loving it! P.S. It's David's fault.****

for us...and for you....at funkoma vintage.....on ARTWALK next week.... yes I will post some music of David and Heidi....soon, because they are better than you could imagine...so don't imagine......Be one of the Cool Kids.......and show up on Artwalk night........

But meanwhile.....it's the Holidaze.......
Here's some music.....

my kids have seen me dance drunk to this many many many times....

this always makes me cry !!!

Surprise...I love this SONG...and everyone cool hates The fucking Eagles....

and just for fun....Charlie Sexton.....you MUST check this out!!! OMG !!! 80s 80s 80s 80s....

Furry, Cold and Pink too....

Making special things for Winterfest....not seen in the shop...kinda special editions....that will see the light of day at the show on Dec 13 & 14.

I hope you folks with some spare time are helping out with Winterfest....because I have no time for anything now but work work work...like a Tacoma version of Santa's little middle-aged crafty elf!! And I hope they don't think I need some elf storage !!

The weather person said it was gonna get Cold...tonight...I just listed some fun furs and some vintage furs (Larchmont Furriers, Tacoma)
for holiday fun.....

We may do it....for love or money or for a costume...but here's a lovely 50s ballgown that was Mini 'd....I found it unloved in a box at an estate sale last summer. I was attracted by the silver lurex threads that glistened in the summer sunshine. So I hemmed it, and cleaned it and steamed it and took a few stitches here and there.....and it's ready to Party again !!

Amazing shelf bust treatment....no fooling around here.....this dress wants to party...and it's a sensible size..a 28" waist !!
