Upcycled Vintage

Searching for a look to complement these flowers turned up this memory of a December 2012 visit to Sarah Lou Designs.

SarahLou Designs At Lake Allatoona, Part I

Perhaps it was pining for the spring season. Following our December trackside adventures, designer Sarah Daly and I turned our thoughts to things nautical. She used the interval well, organizing what became an extravaganza. Models, hair and makeup artists, musicians and photographers converged Sunday upon Lake Allatoona. Here is a first sampling of our brew.

In Marietta: SarahLou Designs

It has been a week for trains on this blog: first in College Park and now Marietta. After all, Atlanta is a railroad crossing all grown up. It was trackside downtown at the Indie Craft Experience last month that I met the Sarah half of SarahLou Designs. Her sense of retro-inspired whimsey and upcycling ethic demanded a second look. Time stood still as designer, model and photographer explored moods on the rails and in the studio. Also a painter, Sarah learned to sew at her mother's knee. That gorgeous heirloom Singer belonged to her grandmother, a War Department careerist. Please follow this link to more images from that day.
