Helena
Hello, I'm Helena. I live and love on Long Island with my husband, JW, and my daughter, My Girl. We live in a very little old blue house that is bursting at the seams with all my vintage fabrics and decor, together with our critters - 3 cats, one dog, Gretel, and a giant pond full of fish, turtles and frogs. My house is a work in progress, as am I. I love to find ways to put a little vintage love into my home, kitchen, garden and even myself. Oh, and I love to make things. I hope you’ll join me! XO I have an Etsy shoppe… blondie blu… handcrafted goods perfect for livin' a vintage cool life. blondie blu adores: --when your heart beats in anticipation of finding a treasure when you pop into a thrift shop or yard sale; --taking a piece of worn out furniture or sad, lonely old knick-knack, "dressing" it up a little and finding a new way to use it or display it, making you walk on air for days at a time with total satisfaction; --finding new ways to "waste not"; --just about every piece of vintage fabric in existence - really; --livin' a vintage cool life.

Today's Doings
Wings are growing here. Spring is in the air, and although we have a forecast for snow tomorrow night, we are feeling optimistic. I am working on my Etsy listings while listening to Motown on Pandora. The back door is propped open. The sun is shining in and a warmish breeze is blowing. Gretel...
