Hello and welcome! I am so very glad you are here. My name is Kat and I am the girl behind Rose City Vintage Workshop Co. I am a simple girl with wanderlust in my heart who loves finding beauty wherever I go and if it involves junking or crafting it is guaranteed that I am some how involved.
Rose City Vintage Workshop Co. (formerly known as The Girl with the Red Balloon) began as a way to just simply document all of my projects and crafts. I began this journey during a job transition and felt like I had no concept of my next direction.
One evening I happened to start watching an episode of the Junk Gypsies where they went junking and flipped old crap into really awesome and amazing new treasures. From that point on I was hooked. I started going on my own junking adventures and turning old, worn out items into new treasures. It gave me the ability to start looking at things in a whole new way.
I still love to go junking or as the Junk Gypsies call it, “junkercising”, but I have even expanded my projects into woodworking and epoxy projects. Who knew this girl could ever be this crafty!
One day I will find a way to get paid to project all day long! Oh! One can dream. Until then, I hope you will follow along with me on this crazy adventure of blogging with the Rose City Vintage Workshop Co.
How did you come up with Rose City Vintage Workshop Co.?
I owe all the genius of the new name to a really good friend of mine who has been one of my biggest or rather HUGEST supporters. He does not want any credit but he definitely deserves all the praise. He took a nickname of my current hometown, of where I deeply love living, combining with my love of all things vintage and DIY. The genius is in the simplicity.
