Coolio with a P.S.


A skirt in the Loverly Miss shop was featured in the blog Nature Walk Crafts.
It's so pleasant to be supported by fellow etsy shop owners. The gal behind Nature Walk Crafts makes jewelery.. check her out.
Thank you!

The perfume the air would bring.

* altered gray dress; striped top and lace-up shoes- thrifted; ring- vintage shop *

Springtime in a new town is a great way to start things off.
I traveled twelve hours and now live near Salt Lake, Utah and I'm really liking it so far. Though, there are only a couple thrift stores which might be the death of me. Hah. But there are so many other things to occupy myself with. I'm excited to.. ride the train to Heber city, as well as Salt Lake City, walk the old building main streets in the warmth of the sun, discover picnic spots, hide out in cocoa shops, attend MANY concerts, ride the big swings in the Orem park, see who comes for the Sundance Film festivals, and so many other things as the seasons bring changes.

Loverly week to you all,

I made this dress a few days ago; wanted something simple and classic without a defined waist like the other 98 percent of my closet.
My favorite is the vertical lace down the front.

I'd like to try a new dessert, any ideas? Anybody have a fav you'd like to share with moi?

Maybe I'll make some cinnamon rolls..

A Finished Project.

This is the coat I was telling you about, my first ever attempt at taking on such a project.
It's got a giant hood, frog closures (no, they don't really look like frogs), black lining, and green zig-zag stitch details on the edges of the hood, pockets, and sleeves. What do you think?

I've felt so inspired lately in everything I've been making. Many finished projects. I think I may have a whole spring wardrobe now.. I think it's my being restless, anxious, excited, all inspired by love, and this is the way I choose to let it escape. I get thinking about new adventures in a new town soon, and I immediately have ideas rush around and feel the need to be creative with my hands. I'm loving it and constantly learning so much.

"Funny how we can feel so much but can't say a word."
Warm cookies and sunny weekends,

I hate the phone.




A vintage trench I thrifted not too long ago. It really is that color of spectacular red.

I've made a spring coat last week that I'm anxious to share with you. My first ever attempt at such a project. I learned so much, and I love the finished product! One of my favorite pieces I've done yet.
I'll show it to you soon, so don't go far.

Artists on repeat: The Dodos, Broken Bells, Frightened Rabbit.
