Duffy Fashion Show Report

After a brief downpour, the Duffy 80's Theme Fashion Show still turned out to be a blast. Sassy models (my personal fave was Constance of Third) in platform wigs showed some amazing Duffy jewelry. Also, equally exciting....there were lots of very talented artists and designers on hand selling their handmade creations. Here are a few pics...


A Slave to the Details...I recently found out about this gorgeous handmade accessories line...and so should you.





A Slave to the Details will be the featured artist at Duffy Accessories in September...don't miss her First Friday.



My blurry photography makes Kelly Langan's shoes even trippier!



She also makes handpainted sunglasses.




Allison of Alli Rie Designs made my shoes look so cool.

Your Submissions

I am interested in finding out about all things handmade in Scranton (as well as beyond). Please send me your updates. I will gladly add them to my calender. I plan to photograph and blog about the Duffy Fashion Show and future events. Stay tuned!

OUCH!!

It's been two full months and I've been up to my eyelashes in vintage handbags and new ideas. I do truly intend for this blog to be updated weekly...and hopefully it will from now forward. Next event...The Duffy Accessory 80's Theme Fashion Show on Friday...8-8-08. I couldn't be more excited as I loooove the 80's. Also, it's Maureen Duffy's 20th year in business and she makes lovely handmade jewelry and fabulous green teatinis. Besides a fashion show, there will be several local artists vending their work including moi (Shoplift!), Greenbeing, Mapgie Vintage and her line of Oh Sweet Josephine reconstructed vintage jewelry, Kelly Langan and her handpainted shoes, and soooo much more. Music by Brian Langan. Food by local vendors. After-party? Well, just ask me at the show!
