all the new garments will be available in the shop by the end of this month. since most items are one of a kind, i'll be giving everyone on our mailing list a head start!
here are the tanks (made from vintage fabrics).
this vintage fabric seemed perfect for pillows. it's sturdy and smooth with a rather cheerful floral print.
if we had a porch swing i'd put one of these on it. yes, that's what i'd do.
available here.
we do a lot of jigsaw puzzles. about 99% vintage, possibly missing pieces. it's always a bit disappointing to reach the end and find it incomplete. but, things can be done to lift ones spirits... first, ask a friend if he is hiding the last piece in his pocket. if he is not, you can still save your favorite section by giving it a couple coats of clear acrylic. voila! strauss seems pleased.
just a couple recent second-hand favorites. this shirt makes a great over-sized spring jacket. horses!
i've been wanting a pair of brown oxfords for a while now, but have resisted buying a new pair. saw these at a low price in an interesting etsy shop. had to have them!
today is my cute nephew max's birthday. 2 years old!
i had a bit of an internal laughing fit when i found this "priceless" fabric at a thrift shop a while ago... it makes the perfect kid's t-shirt, no? i happened to have just enough of of the right green ribbing (also thrifted) and some little silver snaps.
a few pictures of max from christmastime... such a sweetie.
looks more like a father's day post, eh?
my sis just requested a current photo of our pop, and i couldn't help but scan these and send them along for kicks. i just love old photos of my parents. doesn't my mom look cute in the middle one?
these more less items are now available in the plastic foliage shop.
and i'm off to the thrift store in hopes of scoring some more fine fabric!
(i do love shopping for supplies).
