Introducing Dolce Mia

Dolce Mia is the result of one woman's creative endeavor based on her love for all things vintage and handmade. What started as a hobby became a successful international business in 1995 with Dolce Mia offering stylish gifts and stationery for the retail market. In 2008 we introduced our both and body line, which became an instant hit.

A family business located in Sonoma County, California, we use only the highest quality ingredients, organic and local whenever possible. Each formula has been painstakingly developed to bring you tons of benefits and keep your skin happy and healthy. Wonderful fragrances and organic botanicals enhance our superior formulations, making our products a must-have.

We are proud to launch our 2011 Hotel Amenity Line, bringing this unique and graceful product to the hospitality industry.

Local Production

Whereas many personal care products are made overseas, in a variety of countries, our beauty products are made right here in Northern California. The benefits of local production include reduced carbon footprint, procuring local ingredients, hiring local people – enhancing the local economy, and employing family businesses like our own, whenever possible. 

“Green” as a Lifestyle

Going Green:  For us, going green means simply using recipes and ingredients that were developed before the industrial and chemical revolutions - using ingredients that are pure and locally procured, when possible, and keeping production within our local economy.  Green is not a marketing tool for us, we just happened to have embraced a lifestyle and business philosophy that falls within the definition of “being green.”

Vendor Highlights for the Heritage Holiday Faire

This year has really flown by for me personally and for my "Roost" business.  What started out as a "upscale garage sale" at my barn a few years ago has grown into a passion for presentation, a job, a building block for friendships and so much more.  I have been so honored that my Roost fans continue to support me and others in my line of business by buying local and participating in the events that I am a part of.

In keeping with the events that I am a part of....

In less then 2 weeks there will be an amazing Holiday faire at the Willamette Heritage Center (AKA: Mission Mill Museum)  I have teamed up with the gift shop in the museum called Danner & Soli.  We have called on our friends, business contacts, local artists, and other local business' to all come together and offer a sort of "one stop shopping" experience for all your holiday decor, gifts, and entertaining needs.  Last year we had about 20 vendors and this year we have doubled the vendors to 40!

Vendors are all set for the 2nd Annual Heritage Holiday Faire!

So here it is time for the second Annual Heritage Holiday Faire.  This is a wonderful event for the community.  There will be a great mix of vintage, new, handcrafted, and seasonal gifts to buy.  The kids will enjoy horse rides around the mill and many more activities.

Lunch selections, sweet indulgences, and espresso drinks will be provided by Cafe Venae.  The famous Kettle Korn guy will be there popping on site.

Studio Sub Dio will be doing an on location "photo booth" with studio lighting, backdrops, a large selections of props, and FREE online image download.  For all you out there that do holiday cards and need a family picture this will be a great time to get one.  For more information on the photo booth click here.

So take the day with family and friends to enjoy one of Salem's great historic places.
Danner & Soli and I are working like mad on all of our props for the Faire.  Are focus this year is to create a warm and inviting winter lodge feel to our show.  We have thought up and tested out a few ideas and some were tossed out and some were embellished even more than even we had dreamed up.  The Roost Barn is busting out of its seems with pallets, paint, glitter, and of course feathers!  I'll keep you all updated on our progress and I'll be starting vendor profiles on Monday so stay tuned!

Learning to weld.

 I love that I have a whole auto body shop at my disposal!  It comes in so helpful in the projects that I do.  My dad restores old vintage cars for a living and so he has every tool under the sun in his shop.  Since May this year I have made it a personal goal to learn how to weld with a wire feed welder.  I have dabbled here and there with it but I've never done a whole project by myself before.  

So about a month ago my did made another "donation" to the Roost Barn.  A 1985-1990 daybed.  Looking at the thing I thought really?  A day bed what the heck am I going to do with that!  Not many of my friends are looking to buy one they're not really "THE RAGE" these days especially one that's this beat up.  Then I think back to the Molly Mo's show in August when I posted my transformation project on an old baby crib.  Do you all remember that post... it went from old broken baby crib to this:

 

So I thought about this bed frame as a bench and got down to work.  Having the proper tools is essential.

 I actually don't have the pictures of the frame before I started cutting and welding.  I accidentally deleted them.  But here is the frame after I cut it down to size.  I had to cut sections out off the ends of the daybed back so it would be shorter.  Then I had to cut out sections of the sides so that it would be more narrow like a bench instead of a bed.  

  Then I needed to tack weld the bars in place.

 Do to the fact that I am new at this welding thing I needed to grind off some of the weld to make it flat and smooth.

 After welding the frame together I decided to use the rails from the bed as the supports to the wood that I planned on cutting to fit inside the rails.

  Here is a picture of the bench with the wood piece that (my dad) cut to fit.

So after I got the bench together I needed to find something to fit inside the holes that the brass finials were previously in.  (I'm not a huge brass fan and they were dented and rusty in a bad way)

  I did however find some old knobs that were pulled off of a dresser in a previous make-over project.  Just goes to show, never throw anything useful away.

After inserting the knobs in the hole I painted them and did a once over with paint on the whole frame.

Here is how the finished project turned out:

Come Junk With Us Ruffles and Rust Show

Just rolled into Salem at 12:30am this wet Sunday morning and I was so super excited about the Ruffles and Rust show pictures so I just had to jump on here and download them!

This event I have been planning for for a couple weeks now.  I usually have a theme for my booth spaces but the rest I kinda "wing it" and usually it turns out pretty good.  However I usually have my mom who is super patient helping me and letting me be my creative self along the way.  Well this show she couldn't make.  I pleaded with my husband to go with me and begrudgingly he said okay.  Well he is a Type A personality and has to plan every detail.  In accepting his help he wanted me to "map out" my booth so he knew exactly where everything was going to go.  So I begrudgingly did so took the pictures of the mock up booth and packed the trailer so it would all come out the way it was to be set out.  Me being the "wing it" thought this a little over the top but hey I'm not going to turn down free help.

Well little did I know while packing the trailer I was going to pull a rib out and not be able to breath, bend, or turn my neck!  I spent all of Thursday (day of departure) trying to get to a chiropractor and massage therapist and get the rib back in.  Long story short I went, they tried, no luck!  So all in all I'm glad I did all the pre-planning like my husband wanted because we set up in record time even with me at 1/2 caliber!

Here are a few pictures of my booth at the show.  I didn't really get a chance to get any other pictures of anyone else's booth.  But all the booths were really inspiring.  It was a amazing show and the Come Junk With Us hostesses were wonderful!
