i bought this cute vintage wool vest a couple of years ago on etsy. it tickled my fancy and the price was right so…
then last night i was wasting a little time over there again and look what i saw! i don’t know how i will ever survive without that cute matching hat!
just like the envelope says, a wonderfully rejuvenating set!
if you haven’t made any of these yet, do it! they’ve totally changed my laundry hanging experience. they can change yours too!
you are probably familiar with anri and their carved figurines, but did you know they made furniture at some point? i didn’t, until i found these three cuties…
i found the cabinet first, then the end table and stool about a year later.
i can’t really find any information on the furniture, i did read that they made some in the 60′s but i can’t seem to find that page on the internet anymore.
i’ll admit i’m not a fan of the figurines, but i’m a total sucker for cute alpine chalet style furniture!
i’m in love with this skirt. if it were my size i would buy it in a heartbeat, even though i’m not allowed to buy skirts.
would you wear burlap?
i would love to try printing on it, just look at how cute this vintage fabric is…

what is your favorite size gingham for clothing?
i’m working on some spring and summer stuff and one of the new things i want to make uses gingham.
i want to know what is your favorite size gingham to wear?
1/4″ used to be my fave, but i surprised myself by favoring the 1/8″ this time around.
during my extensive online gingham ‘research’ last night, somehow i ended up on youtube watching Animals videos for hours on end. isn’t it funny how the internet works? one of them featured them wearing these cute gingham suits…
okay, i know technically they’re houndstooth, gingham’s woolly cousin, but the spacing just looks so gingham-y. you can see the suits in action here.
i had a rude awakening at the post office yesterday…they raised the rates again.
the biggest increase was in international overseas shipping, with a $3 increase in the priority mail flat rate price, and variable weight increased accordingly. ouch. our neighbors north of the border only got a slight increase of a dollar on the flat rate, a little more on the variable weight.
so for my international friends and customers, i’m sticking with the old shipping prices until the end of the week. if there’s something you’ve had your eye on, consider ordering it now, next week the shipping prices will go up about $3 per item.
UPDATE 2/1 – i’m going to try sending things registered first class mail, that should work out to be about the same price as the old shipping prices though it may take a little longer. i’ll test it out for a month or two and see how it goes. the new priority mail rates are out of control!
