Things You Never Knew...

I have a ridiculously large vintage handkerchief collection. I haven't ever been able to part with them (the "Ethel" one may be my favorite!).


I like to imagine that each one has sparked a romance... some fashionable lady dropping it to catch the eye of some dapper fella.

YES I AM A HOPELESS ROMANTIC.

I blame watching Anne of Green Gables too much. (Which, speak of the devil, is in my Netflix queue at this very moment.)

Anyhow, I have gathered handkerchiefs far and wide and now have too many! So I am now prompted to start a "vintage" category on my Etsy shop. These little lovelies will be pressed, bundled in threes, and put up for sale in the next week or so.

(A special few of them will have little l'uccelo stitched onto them too!)

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Cuteness on a string...

Making friendship bracelets used to be one of my favorite things to do. And we're not really talking about when I was 12... more like 25. ;) I used to have stacks of bracelets tied to my wrist all summer until they kind of disintegrated off... haha. Since I've been a massage therapist, bracelets have no longer gotten permanent residence on my wrist, but I think it's time they made a comeback. I'll just have to use a button closure instead of the trusty ole knot. Time to make a run down to the store for embroidery thread. :)

Have a great rest of your day! It's kinda grey over in these parts today, so it's the perfect day to make some bracelets and drink some tea. :)

Turquoise Tuesday!

Hey there!
Well, I found some internet so I thought I'd scrounge up a little turquoise for your Tuesday! ;) I'm still getting settled in Bend and have yet to get internet at my little hovel. As for now, it's an excuse to go drink some coffee and steal some wifi for an hour, but I'm thinking I'll eventually break down and get it at home. ;)

Well I hope you enjoyed the round-up this week! I'm going to see if I can't get the ole blog back on a somewhat regular schedule now that I'm not unpacking boxes. :) I just set up my sewing table and brought the last of my supplies over to Bend this week! I'm itching to get back at it and have a journal filled with lots of new ideas! I can't wait to fill up the shop again, as well as get some Urban Farm Designs in some local shops! Cross your fingers and I'll let you know when that becomes a reality. :)

Hope you guys are having a great start to spring! It's a little chilly today, but boy was it super nice the last few days... I'm ready for sunshine and floating the river!
