We have news!  The Blackbird Girls are writing a book! But we desperately need YOUR help! We've been saving our pennies for a while now so we could do a trip like this, and then write a book about American Vintage junk and travel destinations. We were afraid it would be years and years before we had the opportunity to do this trip the way it needs to be done, but surprise! -- the opportunity (a month when we both can get away for an extended period of time) has presented itself this summer. 

We decided to try a Kickstarter project to make our dream a reality. We need to raise some funds to help us self-publish the book. This is where we need all you lovely people -- check out our Kickstarter page using the link below (we made a funny video, so it's worth checking out). If you can help us, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! You can pledge as low as $10 and up from there, and there are some awesome rewards for you if you do. And please SHARE this blog post with everybody you know -- we only have 30 days to reach our goal, and it's an all-or-nothing deal. The more people hear about it, the more chance we have of reaching our dream! We LOVE you guys!

Junk Love: Dear Santa

At the Blackbird estate, we have many Christmas collections, but none bring us joy as much as our dear friend, Ugly Santa:

He's flocked! He's happy! And apparently, he has a very active lifestyle (according to Etsy)....For example, he bowls.

 He skis!

He sleds...

Etsy

He skates...

And boogies with the missus.

He rides deer bareback through the tundra (Shhh! Do you hear that? The forest is calling!)

Etsy

And decks the halls.

Etsy

He cheers!

And gets up to some shady crap with Frosty.

And, occasionally, indulges in a little girl talk (I don't know...do you think this suit makes me look fat? I'm thinking about changing my pompom. Do you like my pompom?)

But we wouldn't change a thing about him. Provided, of course, that he still makes time to bring our presents!
