Recap: Vintage & Bloggers Meetup - Halloween DIY Mini Meetup

Last Wednesday Market Publique opened its studio up for a mini crafting party. People came for a dose of DIY to finish their Halloween costumes or carve a pumpkin.

De-Stijl-It-Yourself: Anne handpaints tights à la Piet Mondrian. Read what she has to say about her project.

She carefully applied primary colors to her hand-drawn grid to pay homage to the great Bauhaus painter for Halloween.

Jenni from Daily WorkIt came looking for pieces to add to her Roller-Derby Blair Waldorf costume.

She found a couple of pairs of white gloves for it, but couldn't decide which to pick. She posted this photo on Fashism and asked away... Go see which ones she picked!

Jenni also snapped a pic of Brooke, me and Anne. Don't you love Anne's vintage United Airlines scarf? That girl always has the BEST accessories! They all mentioned this little poll I had on the blog a while ago, and how nary an outfit picture has been published. So take this as a faux outfit photo. This is what I wore:

- Vintage Leaf Dress from Strim Vintage

- Vintage Black Mila Schön Belt

- Unknown Black Tights

- Vintage Bally Black Boots

Speaking of Fashism, Brooke came and rifled through our bags of free clothes, which up for grabs to add to your Halloween costume - or in her case, 'Halloween during the day', as she found an awesome mod-inspired skirt and a gray wool cropped cape. Lucky gal!

I sewed buttons to a vintage faux fur leopard print coat for my upcoming Halloween costume. Can you guess who I'm gonna be? (If you already know because I told you... shhhh).

Jon and and Tavo carved a few pumpkins.

Tavo made a smoking alien...

Jon made the MP pumpkin which now festively adorns the studio, as well as our Twitter icon.

Thank you everyone for coming! And sorry this Meetup didn't get posted on the blog... We only have a few chairs in the studio, so we kept it small and wanted the members of our Meetup group to have priority - so join the group to be kept in the loop for future events. And don't you worry, the next one will be bigger, similar to the Margarita Monday!
