The dress is from Devon's Drawer, the floral duster I made from a curtain and the crocheted vintage scarf was found at the local market. The detachable sleeves/socks were upcycled from girls cotton tights. β€οΈ

Twirling around in my latest me-made, a 2 piece set of the softest, lightest wool. It's perfect for twirling and I love the stripes.

One of the reasons that I love living in Italy is that there are always villas, lakes, and cultural events to go to, usually less than 30 mins from our house! Yester we went to Villa Litta in Lainate for a history/dance tour of the villa and it's historic family.

Don't forget.. it's happening today. No Target, Walmart, Amazon, gas, fast food. Shop local and pay in cash.

Enjoying a beautiful sunny day. Wearing an ethical and secondhand look that makes me so happy. Off to lunch with some friends. My cup is full! β€οΈ

FINALLY, a room that actually looks like it's lived in. So rare. Love this.

Colorful mix today, instant boost of energy! Do you like to pattern mix or are you more into solids/neutrals?

Things that are bringing me joy lately: a vintage van that matched my outfit. Walking home from work at 6:15(and it's still light out), a cute shop dog, my son's VD day gift to his girlfriend (flowers and chocolate covered strawberries that he made for herβ€οΈ.) It's the little things really.

Current WIP..I can't decide whether to go horizontal or vertical, and if the bodice should be patchwork or all one piece. What do you think? #upcycling #sewing #memade

I haven't felt like doing much of anything for the last 3 weeks. I've been sick and skipped sewing class, no inspiration.Today at the market I loved these fabrics so much, I want to make a patchwork skirt or dress from them. Just like that, a spark of joy! Sometimes it's the little things, right?
