another owl to add to my owl room :D i love his eyes and how simple his design is!
i always LOVE scoring embroidering pieces and this one is no exception. i don't have a little birdie embroidery yet so it was nice to add this little gem to my collection. we added it to the wall in our reading lair...
....and you can all see our moose head who is sporting an a's scarf and hat and what we like to all "the patriots" sunglasses...isn't he marvelous!?!?
scoring vintage fabrics is like finding gold to me. it brings me such joy to find awesome florals or stripes...this one feels like a nice thin wool and i think i will make some skirts and then some bows :D oh i can't wait! one thing i have over looked while at the thrift store was their sewing supplies and i am SOOOO happy i found this really awesome baggy full of sewing needles and machine needles too! i am always worried that my needle will break in the middle of a project and then be stuck without one...when i got home i checked my sewing manual and all the needles i scored fit! YAYAYAY!!!
ever since we got gilbert the mister has been on a mission to find a beret for me to wear while riding gilbert and he found the perfect one! and as you can see i got a little bored so i had some fun with my pictures :D
what were you up to this weekend?
xo,

hahaha you guys are so cute. love the beret. tres chic!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an incredibly successful thrifting trip! I love the print on that fabric. You should definitely make a bow with it! That would be adorable.
ReplyDeleteI am getting ready to do some embroidery for my walls. I may be bothering you for tips soon! haha.
bonjour mon ami! owls are the cutest thing! i enjoy thrifting - though i don't get to do it as often as i would like. happy monday!
ReplyDeleteI love the beret, so chic! And the fabric is just gorgeous, it's great when you find such nice patterns, a lot of vintage fabric can be a bit boring but this one looks so cool!
