Monday Mayhem #4.......17 scarf options!

WOW! you heard me right! There are 17 scarf design options in my shop RIGHT NOW! I can't guarantee how long they will be there, (my "seasoned" customers know how fast they go!) and my stock on hand is dangerous low........so if you see something you like, grab it today! And I am not just saying that :)

I had a really fun week putting these designs together and working on another project (details to come very soon!). Here's a few new designs this week titled - Berry Kiss and Tuxedo.....

on a sidenote - My family and I will be moving next month and my studio will be packed up and relocated. Due to the shortage of fabric we have been able to get and also moving in a couple of weeks this may be our last "LARGE" restocking of Brassy Bunchy Scarves. We will do our best though to continue to provide new designs to help you with your Holiday Shopping.

Thanks again for your support and emails! Happy Shopping!

Over the river and through the woods...

Since tomorrow is thanksgiving, I should be writing a very impressive post about making some insane appley, cinnamony, brown sugary, buttery, nutty, flaky, crumbly, yummy thing because I'm a real life domestic goddess. But then I wake up and remember I'm not. Instead, I'm curled up under my quilt at home in Brooklyn, delightfully alone.

My train home leaves at 5am tomorrow morning and I'll be puttering around my folk's house till sunday or monday. Activities include long walks to the bay, dog patting, antique malling and standing in front of the fridge, hovering over a cold turkey carcass. I have a lot of things to be thankful for, no?

Happy thanksgiving, friends. If I could share a piece of pie with you, I would.

Dresses for wedding

Dressing a wedding dress, girls seldom think of that the dress for wedding conceals in itself set of traditions. Certainly, today already it is impossible to name the majority of them actual, however the classical wedding dress continues to personify purity newly married.
For example, if prom dresses can be any colour, length and a style, wedding have some restrictions. First of all, on length and colour — the wedding dress is exclusively light tones and it should is obligatory to cover knees.

Modern wedding dresses

Also the integral elements of a wedding dress long time were a veil and gloves.
The veil has got popularity during the Victorian epoch, however the tradition to cover a head with a fabric, has arisen in an antiquity. Was considered, that the top layer of a veil protects the bride from a malefice. In spite of the fact that today it is possible to name these traditions safely past vestiges, since then wedding dresses practically has not changed.

Veil in modern wedding dresses carry out a decorative role. And only the cape and a headdress remained obligatory attributes of a wedding dress. Only present a dress for wedding with a small translucent loop which is decorated by an embroidery of manual work!

In case the dress without sleeves, is rare when the wedding dress does without gloves. Long or short, with fingers or without them, gloves are capable to give completeness to any image. Besides, long time was considered unacceptable to cross a church threshold in a wedding dress with naked hands. Thin lacy gloves not only saved situation, but also added special charm newly married.

Riches of a wedding dress — very important detail. Richly should there was look a fabric with drawing. Richly embroidered jewelry a bodice. The picturesque treatment of light and shade of folds of a skirt was richly looked.

The white atlas with mirror outflow was considered as the most beautiful and expensive. Today ornaments of the bride from pearls seem natural. But the love of the European brides to pearls has been generated by the Italian fashion designers during the Renaissance epoch. With white prom dresses, pearl ornaments are gracefully looked. Pearl threads twisted sleeves, pearl necklaces decorated a neck, pearls intertwined in plaits from hair more largely.

Roses

I'm back, albeit begrudgingly. Does anyone else bore of the endless blogger/twitter/flickr cycle? Don't you want to just, oh I don't know, chuck the macbook out the window and take a walk around the block?

My exciting news is that I'm now working at Saipua full-time, arranging flowers and coordinating with brides-to-be. I'm in the love business, as Ginny would say. It's been 2 weeks already and I'm thrilled beyond all understanding. Best job ever.

It's bittersweet, though, because I had to leave my dear job at Moon River. I love that store and those people to bits. They threw me a surprise goodbye dinner party, complete with pretty dresses and a puppet show in 3 acts. A PUPPET SHOW.

I was at the botanic garden snapping photos when I realized I did basically this same rotting november roses post one year ago. Funny what a difference a year and a splurge-y camera make, even if the idea is the same.

This past year has been a total whirlwind, it feels like practically everything has changed. I'm now a live alone workaholic, with more jobs and less money. More readers but less to time to write. More pressure and less energy to cope. It's all terribly exciting and nerve-wracking.

Let's continue this tangent come next november's dying roses post, okay? I'm boring myself to tears with all of this existential dribble.
