Random Act of Kindness - Mattie Reid Chicago


I'm pleased to announce that our very own Heather of Texas Vintage Things and Mattie Reid Chicago had her wonderful 'upcycled button barettes' featured in this article on Handmadeology.  When you write articles and feature a member of our team it gains them exposure for their products, plus people will see the "Proud Member of The Etsy Recyclers Guild" in their shop announcement.  It's a win-win situation!

She's one of our leaders now! It is much appreciated  all the work she does on this blog and interviewing and featuring our fellow sellers here on the Etsy Recyclers Guild.  I should also mention that Heather will be donating gifts for the grand prize winner of our contest, which is still open for anyone wanting to enter GO HERE NOW.

Meet Mattie Reid Chicago

Lovely rhinestone ring used to be an earring!

Shop Name: Mattie Reid Chicago

Location: Houston, TX

Owner: Heather

Heather says, "Mattie Reid Chicago came about back in 1999 when I was living in Chicago and attending school for fashion design. We had a project where we had to create a design name for ourselves. I could not think of anything, but my great grandmother. Her name was Mattie Reed. I changed the spelling of her last name to Reid and added Chicago to the end. Wa la! Mattie Reid Chicago was created. I design and develop accessories, often made of vintage fabrics and trims as well as clothing that is inspired by designs from the past."

Feather Headband is lovely.


Heather sold a lot on Ebay for the past few years, but has recently been stocking up her Etsy stores, both this, and Texas Vintage, which offers eclectic vintage clothing, housewares, and decor.
"Summer is Beautiful" onesies.

Heather's known for her onesies. They are unisex, and have playful embroidered designs and appliques on them. explains, "Right now, I mostly focus on baby apparel however, I am going to branch out soon and possibly add in toddler designs as well. With regard to the onesies, I can make anything requested. If you don't see it, send me an email and I can make it! I love special orders!!"
 

Heather's Mission?  "Made with love!, and to incorporate onesies, accessories made from vintage trims, paper goods-a little bit of everything!"

Adorable Hair Barettes with Vintage Adornments!
