Biography

I am a farmgirl at heart with a gypsy soul.

By day you can find me searching for treasures, refinishing furniture, gardening, sewing new wares from vintage linens and such, taking care of my 5 chickens, 3 cats and pond full of fish, turtles and frogs, cooking something yummy, renovating and redecorating our little blue house and waiting for My Girl to come home from school… all while wearing a vintage apron.

By night you can find me up late, feeling exotic and mysterious, looking at the moon, dreaming of traveling all over the world, feeling inspired and creative, thinking up new adventures, and wishing sleep wasn't necessary.

Life has come full circle for me these days, especially after losing my Mom… and sometimes you just need to follow your heart.

I hope you’ll join me!

XO Helena

I have an Etsy shoppe… blondie blu... little lovelies made from re-cherished goods with a bit of vintage beauty fit for the modern world. Scatter these lovelies in and about your home to bring a smile and add a dash of different.

These items are handcrafted from a merry mix of vintage and pre-loved linens, fabrics, laces, trims, buttons, slips and other things with a previous life which were once cherished ... and now are loved again.

I have a second Etsy shoppe, Purple Matilda, where I sell some of my vintage treasures I come across when traveling here and there. Take a peek… maybe something will fancy you!

XO
