Makin' Bows Like a Boss!

 Short family vacay is over and time to get back to work before my next temporary hiatus in two weeks.

"Ain't She Sweet"




So I decided to start making a few bows for my shop out of upcycled materials.

"Buttons 'n' Beaux"
white vintage button center on hair bow for accessorizing for eco chicI've used upcycled camisoles, tailored shirt cuffs, and blouses for the main part of the bows. And then each piece gets a special repurposed vintage button! Love that part!







 I've gotten two of the bows up and ready to purchase and two that are excited to join the group soon.


Aren't they cute?!

Feature Friday – Little Tree Handmade



Eco friendly children's toys of naturally dyed wood eggs
Today's feature shop is one where simplicity and love of form go hand in hand. Little Tree Handmade is a small shop featuring items made from natural, eco-friendly materials, from felted wool bowls to beautiful naturally dyed children's toys.

Can't you just imagine chubby little dimpled hands grasping these wooden eggs as their new friends while digging their toes in the dirt near the garden patch? Or siblings playing matching games with these stamped wooden circles while summer rains give thirsty fields their fill? These are the scenes I see when I browse through this shop, and I can't wait for you to experience them too. Enjoy!
