Softest Champagne Silk Ruffle Cuff

The silk used for this cuff was such a joy to work with. 

In the most subtle of golds and soft as a baby kitten, it's most definately a favourite.

There's also some of my grandmother's prized crochet lace there.

I'm sure I've mentioned her before. She was a wizard with a hook.

 A real master.

Every time I see her handiwork I regret not learning to crochet from her when I had the chance.

So I use the precious stash I have judiciously.

I've also used some natural cotton ribbon in an antique white.

It's quite stiff to begin with, but every time it's worn, it gets softer and softer untill it's smooth and silky.

Bridal White Ruffle Cuff

In total white, made out of the softest, most bridal white, natural cotton ruffles and layers of lace in dazzling white and antique white, this cuff is one of my favourite so far.

Saturday Shopping- Golden Ruffle Ruff/Cuff

This is a new addition to the shop.
 It's a collar or scarf when worn casualy around the neck, a ruff when wound tighter and a cuff when you wrap it around your wrist.

For some reason this picture reminds me of The French Lieutenant's Woman.

(And Merryl Streep by association.)

It's made out of a velvety vintage white cotton.

And some lovely vintage gold lace...

All in all it's a pretty versatile accessory.

For more Saturday Shopping visit zsazsazsu and browse through the links. I'm sure you'll come across some marvellous finds.
