Blog Feature and New Scarflettes

My Millie Leg Warmers were featured on Found Handmade's blog today, check them out HERE. Just scroll down to the leg warmers section and you'll see them. How fun!!!! Here are the recent scarflette additions to Etsy. Have a warm, fall weekend.

The Rhiannon Shawl

This is The Rhiannon Shawl that I just loaded onto Etsy. The top picture is my shawl that I made for myself as a little treat. These shawls are so versatile. I love how many ways you can wear them. I like wearing mine wrapped around my neck when I get a little chilly, as you can see from the pictures.

Keep checking back, I made another shawl last night that I will be posting soon. Have a good one!

Free People Collages

I have loved Free People for many many years. Their catalogs are always so artistic and gorgeously done, and the clothing is a piece of art as well. I love their blog too, I check it almost daily. So earlier this summer I was starting to feel a little frustrated and creatively blocked. Selling knitted goods at my online shop, in the summer, NOT SO EASY!!! :)

I had been wanting to make some sort of collage out of my Free People Catalogs for awhile now, but I couldn't stand to cut up the catalogs that I keep and save every month, but I ended up with a few double copies, and finally just sat down and did it. I collaged only Free People images and a few of my own fabric scraps, and modge podged them to some board that Hubby saved for me from a construction job. So the whole project was pretty much recycled. I had so much fun that I made TWO!!!! Now I have something pretty to look at on my walls everyday, and a little bit of inspiration as well.

New Crocheted Creations

The Chocolate Lovers Shawl

I had so much fun making this shawl, I've already made another a few more, hmmm I think I could really use one! Hope it's warm and sunny where you are.

Violet Folklore Again

I just had to post some photographs from Violet Folklore. See what I mean? Such beautiful pictures and amazing clothes. These photos are inspiring me to get out all of my funky clothes and go to town, but it's hard to dress like this here, it's always chilly. Hopefully we'll get outta here soon and I can go crazy with style! Does that floppy felt hat look familiar??? :)

And one of the ladies from Violet Folklore also has a blog called Nourished Mother, which is chock full of stories of her journey as a mother. Check it out!

Violet Folklore, Stevie Nicks

I just discovered this wonderful blog Violet Folklore. I have found my hippy style soul mate!!! The two women behind this awesome store sell vintage clothing on their Etsy site and they blog about their fantastic clothing that they find to sell. Their photographs are beautiful and whimsical. I am so happy to have found them!

And speaking of fashion soul mates, I just have to include some picture of Stevie Nicks. Gorgeous!!!!!

New Hat and Carly Simon

Ever since I saw the cover of my Mom's Carly Simon record No Secrets, I have had the image of Carly Simon's unique fashion style imprinted on me, especially her hat. Then as I got older I saw this image of Sienna Miller in a magazine, in a hat reminiscent of Carly's. And just yesterday I finally found my version of these two hats, in a thrift store that just opened in my town. I couldn't believe it! It's the perfect hat for everything, reading outside, hiking, etc. I have not taken it off since I walked out the thrift store's door.

I am currently reading the book Girls Like us and I found myself falling in love with Carly Simon's style all over again. It's so timeless, you could wear any of the above outfits today and look completely stylish. Those tall boots, that poncho, that floral dress, SO CUTE! Check out the book, which also includes Joni Mitchell and Carole King, it's a good read so far!

And I discovered last night that Carly Simon has her own blog here
