My Studio Space : Behind The Scenes at Jack & Tilly!

Hello again! I thought I'd give you a peek into my studio space (with no fluffing or straightening before hand!) This here is where the magic happens. . . It's where I create (my mixed media art) and where I take all of the pictures for Jack & Tilly. There is a small closet in the room that holds all of my vintage treasures -- which was the only thing I didn't capture and is far more tidy than the rest of the space. Also an entirely blank wall on the side that faces the window. I love that I have so much natural light to work with! It's truly a great space (albeit messy at the moment). As soon as the sun comes out again (it's been raining for 3 days) I will be able to list more vintage. So many great new things coming soon!


Until next time! Stay Warm. . . Happy Holidays,
Carissa / Jack and Tilly

Better Living Through Thrifting


 Hello there! Welcome aboard our little ship! I am so happy you dropped by. This is where I'll be sharing our Vintage Lifestyle along with all the Tips & Tricks I've learned over the past 15 years. (I've been hunting and caring for unique vintage since I was 15.) I've made plenty of mistakes, ruined quite a few great garments / shoes / sweaters / and furniture via the school of hard knocks. I would love to share my expertise! A little thrifting, creativity, and do-it-yourself energy goes a long way. I'll be sharing some how-to's, sneak peeks at collections, quirky places, my favorite haunts, and more! I'd love to connect with other like minded spirits who are madly in love with living creatively, and of course --the magical land of thrifting.

....More soon!

With Love,
Carissa aka Jack & Tilly
