Mad Men Inspired Yarn

I know how to crochet and knit, no I am not an expert but I can make a mean scarf. I came across this yarn by CulturePop on Etsy and I must say that I would love to make myself a pair of socks out of this, if I knew how. This hand-dyed yarn is inspired by all the costumes worn by the women of Mad Men (yes, that show is fabulously brillant). Totally in love with all the yummy yarn in this shop, there is even yarn inspired by the Twilight series!

I Remember When...

I remember wearing socks like this when I was in grade school in Chicago. Of course the socks that I wore were not this pretty or made with such a beautiful shade of pink, I think mine were dark...dark blue, dark grey, etc. These beautiful socks by Sabi Swirls are definitely something that I would wear today, the ones I used to wear are better left in the past. Visit Sabi Swirls Etsy Shop.

Where could I wear this?

My day consists of coffee, making school lunches, dropping and picking up children from school, working, cooking and cleaning. With all of that being said, oh how I would love to go somewhere that I could wear this...

You must check out Ouma Clothing on Etsy. Their beautiful pieces make me want to break out of my jeans, tshirts and cardigans and actually put on some make-up and go out with my husband for a night on the town.

My Valentine's Crush

This would make a great gift...for me...for Valentine's Day.

I am absolutely crushing on this Cherry Lattice Pie Sterling Silver & Brass Necklace by 3 Squares Handcrafted Jewelry. The collection is inspired by the designer's love of cooking and a passion for working with metal. Love it!

I Needed This!

I just purchased the cutest pin cushion ever. It was time for me to rid my sewing box of the red tomato pin cushion, that was given to me over 10 years ago, for something more modern. I came across The Red Stitch on Twitter and when I visited their Etsy shop I was pleasantly surprised when I found this pin cushion and I just had to have it.

CRAVE

Lately I have been thinking that our bedroom needs some revamping, just a bit. When I came across Holley & Gill I was sparked with inspiration by their beautiful wall-mounted headboards. Hand crafted in Montreal, the headboards are upholstered with 100% cotton and printed with environmentally safe water-based inks. I do think that this design would be a nice focal point for our room...
