Pink and green, I SO love these two colors together. Totally girly, a little bit, dare I say..."preppy". When I do my Consignment shopping, looking for wool sweaters to felt. I am always drawn to those colors.
Mom and I went last Thursday and I bought a bunch of goodies. Can't wait to felt them and start creating. Here are some pics of my latest. 
I must confess, it took me a long time to find the combination of items I was looking for. The bag is named, "A Girl In Paris" 
this was my inspiration for the bag. It is also my challenge piece for the Fashion Design and Lifestyle Etsy street team January challenge.
Our challenge was to create an Altered Couture piece. Inspired by the Somerset magazines.
I love Haute Handbags, but then again I buy all of there mags :)
So here she is, some of the vintage pieces were purchased in Lambertville from Elizabeth and others from some vintage Etsy shops. All in all she was a joy to create. And those stunning handles came from a lovely lady all the way in Thailand.
Enjoy! Oh, ps~ I had to throw in a picture of my mannequin Bella in version 2 of the I Love pink scarf, it was just such a pretty picture!

Including my I Love Pink knit scarf! Have fun and good luck!
I have photographed all my goodies, but I managed to get a few taken. It was a button and flower day. For me anyway. My sister found a nice bit of lace for her crafting adventures. I have started to branch out and want to play with some mixed media art. So I have begun to add vintage photos, letters,
books, etc to my collecting in the preparation to sit down and try my hand at it. I love all the Somerset Life magazines. 
They give me such beautiful inspiration! I also want to try my hand at transferring some of the old black and white vintage photos onto muslin and working some Altered Couture pieces. So much to do So little time! 
Today was spent with the needle felting machine post the market as hubby was watching football all day :) 
I've been working on some more felted flowers and incorporating the millinery flowers. Too much fun!! 
Until next time, have fun with your artistic endevours 
I have been crazy in love with the yarn that is spun by 
I did find some great vintage millinery flowers that I restored and will be using. One of which is on the nearly finished brooch, I used red and ice blue. I adore this color combo. So beautiful! 
I was in the next town over and discovered a quilting shop (bought some muslin) and she directed me to a shop that sells yarn, and has spinning classes. As in the wheel, not the bike (lol, I love "spin" class too). So I took a peek and she had some fantastic roving in little mini bags, perfect for my machine! So here's a peek at whats in the works, more to come!
