Seems fall is really in the air for everyone going by this week's most favorited items on Offbeat Avenue. 1. First on the list is not surprisingly, with Halloween coming up so fast, our vintage Gremlins movie Gizmo costume pattern! Still factory-folded, this is in excellent shape and is at a great price at $30. No one at the party will have this costume! UPDATE: This pattern sold September 12! 2. Next is our vintage Argus camera with leather case. For photographer buffs, the Argus is a film camera that produces sharp high quality pictures and was once one of the best selling cameras in the U.S. It's durable and relatively easy to repair (unlike digital cameras of today). 3. Too early to be thinking about Thanksgiving? Not for our shoppers. Our huge vintage Turkey Platter got tons of favorites and views this week. Perfect for your old-fashioned Thanksgiving. 4. The time to dress up for the weather is fall and we've got what everyone wants: silver lam

Dressing Room: Idea to Reality Since my last post I'm happy to report that the dressing room is done! Dressing rooms can be tricky to set up because we needed it to be big enough to move around in and the curtain had to be tall enough for people of average height to get some privacy. We secured the wall which is actually two doors that are braced perpendicularly to the wall, screwed in the fixtures to hold the curtain rod, and hammered in our sign. Don't you love Michelle's hand painted Dressing Room sign? The pictures here show the panes in the doors, which we plan to cover with some graphics for privacy (no peeking as Bertrand says!). Dressing Up a Paneled Wall The other challenge we had was what to do with the paneled back wall? Our back wall is the first thing you see when you walk in and unfinished paneled wood was not the look we wanted. Michelle and I went back to the store and got a bolt of bright pink fabric to hang ove
