unruly things

don’t you just love the new salt bowls from Herriot Grace?  I think I’d love them paired with my tiny airplants.  they’ll be in her shop soon.

printable gift tags are in the shop!

each set includes 2 PDF files that print 15 2.25″ x 1.5″ gift tags at one time. there are pine cones, fir branches, candy canes and more. just print, cut, punch a hole in the corner and tie on a pretty ribbon, and you’ve got the easiest, most stylish looking gift around. these are especially great for last minute gift wrapping! print out as many as you’d like with the exception that they are for personal use only.

lately I’ve been incredibly drawn to pretty things like lace adorned sweaters, soft ruffles and crocheted accessories. I love love love these pretty coasters from the Simply Photo Winter Wonders Shop.

I tried. it didn’t exactly work out.
but if I did, I’d make this neckwarmer from this pattern. however, my grandmother has been itching to knit. packaged in a pretty envelope, I sent off the instructions to her last week.
I’m excited.

while I would looooove to be able to sew my own clothes, time and space are limiting me in that area right now. therefore, I find myself lucky to be in the company of so many talented women, who not only know how to sew, but create such wonderful garments with their talent. I love owning a limited design and when possible, I love picking out my own fabrics. plus, it’s such a great feeling to know that I’m supporting independent designers!
first, there was Shaybelle, then Wiksten, and these are my latest dress purchases.
