Newest Silk Ruffle Cuff in Dark Champagne Shantung Silk

Here's my newest ruffle cuff and it's in a beautiful shantung silk -just like my last one. Only this one's a dark champagne gold that shimmers with the characteristic glow of this particular kind of silk.

It has a wide vintage cotton lace in antique white.

The edges are purposely left raw for a shabby chic feel.

I have finished cuffs off with stitched edges and  the result is quite nice, but usually they tend to look much stiffer, without the flow that these -untreated- ones have.

I suppose it's simply a matter of taste.

Or mood.

The ribbon that secures the cuff to the wrist is natural cotton in a darkish camel beige.

I have some more golden silks I want to try out in these cuffs.

And I'm looking forward to doing some black ones with black lace again, like this one.

The Naughty Notions Bag

Yes, once more I find myself uploading the pictures of my bag challenge entry at the last minute -and vowing I will not do this again next time....

The good news is that, while,, literally finished at the last minute, it is exactly what I had imagined.

The pictures weren't the best -at the setting of the sun, it was no wonder

...but I hope you get the idea....

Most of these labels, buttons and various notions have a sentimental value and have been lurking in dark places for a project such as this.

For example, the little white daisy with the hanging beads adorned my mother's wedding dress....

I'll get some better pictures tomorrow, but for now, here is the front and below is the back of my entry.

Here is were you can see the rest of the bags in the challenge.
