Handmade Confections!

There's something so simply sweet about adornments for little girls! I like my little aprons to have color and nostalgic surprises. I love wearing an apron daily and these retro little aprons are heirloom quality and perfectly charming for your little one!

Halloween Goodies ~

Some little re-usable goodies have been listed in my etsy shop .http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15415768

I love these ones, I've lined them with bull denim fabric so they actually last amidst the candy frenzy, or a months worth of use and still look good! They are 15 x 14 which I found to be generous however, if you need a smaller one for smaller hands, that can be arranged too!

Vintage Pretties!

I have lots to come, but there's been little things here and there that I've finished....

I love this small clutch wristlet... vintage brocade fabric, vintage pink crochet trim, lots of aqua and vintage inspired fabrics... gotta hurry and post it for sale on my site before I use it!!

Summer Days!!

It has gone too fast, kids being home for summer. I know a great deal of parents are truly excited for their kids to start school again, and I must say, I'm not.

I love having them at home, love to see them enjoy eachother, love our "lazy days" together, love our schedule we've created, love the freedom of teaching them whatever I want, exposing them to things that are important to our family. Love the memories we are creating. I know I am blessed to never miss one of them.

Everything seems just as it should be with them here with me, how they grow so fast, how yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn't promised. I hold fast to these fleeting moments!

So, here they are in their treehouse, on a warm summer day, under the cool shade of protective leaves, atop pillows they secretly took from their room, enjoying this moment.

100% boys, doing what boys do, creating this private little world just their own...

Isn't this what it's all about?

Barkcloth Bags

No matter the season, if you love vintage textiles, Barkcloth is always a must have. I have been very selective over the years and patient in acquiring some that are just perfect for bags. Here a few....

Many more to come!

A little California Sunshine

So I know Summer is almost gone, I love summer laziness, nowhere to really go but scheduled hang outs! And even though most everywhere else, there are the true "four seasons", I LOVE the california weather. Lots of sunshine and fabulous weather!! Now, keep in mind, we pay for it out here, the cost of living is a joke!! Hence, my drive to keep sewing new things for the site. So, I made this soft tote, with California in mind, perfect for the beach or farmer's market it measures 17 h x 13 x 2.

Cute little lined outer pocket detail:
