Using vintage finds

Remember the great vintage finds form a few weeks ago?

Today I am giving you a peak of how I am using these.

On this houndstooth cape/scarf I used this leather and gold bead piece to hide the snap.

This is my favorite so far for the season (have I said that before?)

The leopard and red and white stripe knit just asked for this leather flower.

Happy Monday!

Scarf for him

Once a year I shift my mind to think of not so much pink and frills and flower but a more streamlined, manly scarf and hat set.

Luckily I always find a way to make one he likes. This year I used a warm fleece and herringbone combo. I really like how it came out and he seems to love wearing it.

Happy Birthday Mike!

ps. no I did not make the hat in the picture!

Scarf weather

Just in time for the cooler weather that is coming! Here are some of the scarfs just delivered to Turtle.

Lime green and berry sparkly linen decorated with chenille ribbon and bias cut strips of polka dot taffeta.

Dove grey linen scarf with vintage lace and plastic red rings.

Super luxurious double velvet green scarf. Vintage flower and fabric accents

This has got to be the best scarf I ever made! Almost kept it in the closet for myself. Wide, Lavender, vintage, velvet ribbon and a vintage copper bow. ( I have had this bow for over

15 years ... find a good home bow)

Sneak Peak #2

Today showing you my fall scarfs I am working on. I have had the linen for a long time and finally started making scarfs last week.

I love how some of the colours have a bit of a shimmer.

( You cant really see it really well in the photo , but the scarf has vintage beads at the bottom and LOVELY French vintage trim.)

These scarfs will work really well with a denim jacket or paired with linen pants.

I made this patchwork scarf last and think there is more to come in this idea.
