In May of 2011, Trish opened the door of this cute mobile shop after years of selling vintage at markets and at fairs, often dreaming of having a beautiful space to display her nicer items. You can find it at Camberwell Market every Sunday. If you don’t live in Melbourne Australia, You can also buy fabulous vintage clothing & collectables in her online shop!

Last Sowa of the season

Punky — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 21:49:15 +0000

Sunday was our last Sowa Open Market of the season. It’s getting kinda nippy here in the northeast, so we bundled up and sported our favorite Fig Knitting hats to keep warm. If you live near Boston and have never been to Sowa it’s worth the drive, even if you are not in to AWESOME hand made items. Because of the food or food trucks rather. Every time we vend that market we try food from at least half the food trucks there. Our favorites being, Clover, Grillo’s Pickles, Grilled Cheese Nation and The Cupcakory. Hope you get the chance to check them out!

Mobile Shop Spotlight

Since I opened the Haberdash Mobile Shop I’ve become even more smitten with all things trailer and mobile related. I have been keeping tabs on all food trucks, cute trailer owners and mobile shops popping up. I have been known to share them on tumblr or Pinterest. But I thought it would be nice to give the best ones a little more recognition. So I will be featuring a new shop every week! If you want to recommend one, leave it in the comments. Here we go!

Monica and I used to be blog friends many moons ago (back in 2007) when I used to actually do style posts on Punkystyle.com.
She opened her mobile shop in Texas in March of 2010, after her and her family built it inside a 1964 Airstream Overlander. Inside this cute airstream shop is racks of clothing, accessories, sunglasses, vintage wares and a big selection of novelty snacks and toys. She also runs a online shop if you cant make it to Texas.

Old School Mobile Shop

As you know, I love Trailers, I grew up surrounded by them. We had a 1960′s teal Shasta in our back yard that was used as my clubhouse when friends came over. I also spent my summers in a Airstream like caravan in a beach town on Cape Cod. We still have that camp and it’s one of my favorite places to visit. My obsession for mobile shops definitely stems from my love of trailers. I could spend hours researching both of them online. Some fun old ones I found this week:

Wedding-dash

Punky — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:30:03 +0000

The Haberdash is super excited and honored to take part in our first wedding this August. It’s a pretty big deal for us, since it’s the wedding of my dear friend and fellow style blogger Orchid Grey. The idea is that Haberdash will be used as a vintage photo booth set up in the reception area of the wedding. I have been searching for inspiration for months and thought I would share some photos with my fellow trailer lovers.

I love this wedding on Once Wed.

and this engagement shoot

this trailer makes me love Texas.

how sweet is this?

And of couse the shoot we did last year with Tyra Bleek.

Summer of Sowa

Punky — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 12:20:21 +0000

I was reminiscing about my first market I ever did with my vintage collection the other day. It was in Boston at the Sowa Open Market event called Baked Fresh. I was so nervous and I stressed over the event for months. Now we are on our 4th year of selling at Sowa, planning events and vending markets is like walking and talking for me, I don’t even think about it. What a difference four years makes (wink wink).
