Vintage Fabric

This is a vintage piece of fabric that I'm holding on to, waiting for the right project to come along.

It's a beautiful, sturdy cotton canvas in the most outrageous autumn colours and dates from the 1970s.

It's a vivid combination of brown, orange, black, burnt orange, brick red, muted light green and some white.

It sure is eye-catching!

And I love the close-ups.

Winter Spice Flower Hair Clips

I made these hair flowers for a friend's little girls recently. I added petals in magenta and caramel and chocolate brown to make a vibrant, warm winter mix.

 I liked them so much that I made a few for my MagicalFairytale etsy shop.

October Seas

This is what October looks like so far.

It is still sunny and beautiful but it's decidedly cool. 

It's pretty great as far as autumn goes.

Men's Flower Boutonnieres

These are some of my all-time favourite flowers.

Men's boutonnieres in a mix of purple, magenta, brown and greys.

Top 10 Autumn Forest Walks

   Autumn is finally here. You can smell it in the air. You can feel it in the welcome drop of temperature. You can see it in the changing colour of the leaves.
  It's time to take a walk through the fall forest and enjoy the splendor of the season.

Favourite Autumn Reds And Browns

This is a headband-sash I made for a friend lately.

I was itching to make something in a riot of fall reds and russets and caramels 

and this was the outcome.

I was pretty happy with it

and it was well received -accompanied by a rusted orange lavender loveheart brooch, in a girly cotton pouch.

Pastel Pink Organza Flower with Metalic Pink Leaves

This is my newest organza flower hair clip / brooch.

I love working with pastel pink organza and this time I mixed it up with all sorts of other lovely organzas as well as tulle -the garden variety white tulle as well as tulle with lace .

I think you can see all the diferent layers in the close-up below.

However, my latest addiction is the pink metalic leaves.

I came across this fabric a while ago and it's been sitting around patiently waiting for its turn to be picked up.

Now I can't wait to make all sorts of flowers with these shiny pastel leaves.
