Preview: Rosie Souvenir Top

I've been hard at work throwing this beauty together for the past two days. Rosie is made of gorgeous vintage lace, (what I believe to be) Edwardian printed featherweight China silk, glass horseshoe buttons and lots of love. I was hoping to list her today, but the light in my house is too dark for decent photos. Check her out on Honey Cooler Handmade tomorrow!

New This Week: Olive

Pair the incomparable sheerness of vintage cotton tulle with a lovely grassy green cotton voile and you get Olive, the newest addition to my Etsy shop. Check her out!

Now on Etsy: The Mona Souvenir Top

Nothing gives me more joy than when little independent pieces click into place perfectly and unexpectedly, and that's exactly how Mona came to be! Here's the math:

               shabby silk petticoat

                       -  shredded silk

              + printed charmeuse

  + butterfly crochet lace yoke

                  + vintage rick-rack

+ Victorian inspired buttons

                                + patience

                                      + love

= Mona

Check out Mona here!

Now on Etsy: The Tish Souvenir Top

I had a blast making this fun piece. Vintage petticoat flounces, bloomer hems, insertion lace and knit trim come together with a decadent velvet ribbon for perfect summer piece. Check it out here.
