Make a Yarn Shop Stop

A client of mine is well-known crochet designer, I've been wanting to take her classes ever since she told me what is possible by the end of 4 sessions -- make my own little vest. So I paid a visit to Stitch Point for registration, a local yarn shop where her classes are held. These ivory and silk bundles grabbed me immediately, not to make that little vest I've been dreaming of, but necklaces!

Punchy and fun for summer; shimmering for fall.

Will I learn how to do this, too? :)
I think it's calling for a crisp white shirt!

Make a yarn shop stop soon, you'll never know what might fun ideas might bubble up!

Bag'em Up



A hand-me-down purse gets 3 new looks. Straps from top: a short springy belt; saches from two dresses.




Love my purse finds at Wild n Crazy Vintage (336.272.WILD)
Middle black one, a distillary bag made perfect as a purse.
An old bottle of booze did come with it, i admire it on the shelf.
Olive green, chic & yummy.

This navy and white little number has cool ropey handles. (top)
Multi-pleated coin purse, plus-sized to marry functionality and lady-like prettiness. (bottom right)

More fun finds from Wild n Crazy.
Vintage Coach under 20 bucks, can't beat that. (bottom left)
This one looks like a shrunken Reed Krackoff, thankfully it did not shrink my wallet. (bottom middle)
Who says vintage purses are all dainty? 'Love this yellow one, bold in every way.

This vintage Samsonite is top top top. Doesn't a good messenger bag make you feel more purposeful? :)
