Victorian Roses

Nothing makes me happier than roses! 

So what does a girl do in the winter when there aren't any blooming?

Makes her own of course!

Hand cut, dyed, painted and crumpled to look Victorian, I put these on everything!

(You can buy some too from my Etsy shop)

 

In orders, with business cards....

And hats of course!  Pink cashmere hats to be exact. ;)

No end to the possibilities!

Now to wait for spring...

Still under wraps...

I'm working on a new collection for August inspired by my antique patterns from the 1920's....

Still very hush - hush....

Under wraps.....

Actually wrapped in tissue paper, hand dyed ribbon,vintage lace, antique calling card and vintage

silk millinery roses!

I think I love making the packages pretty more than I like sewing the garments!

Shared on Shabby Art Blog,  My Romantic homes and The Feathered Nest Friday link parties!
Pink Saturday at How Sweet the Sound blog.

Show and Tell Friday!

It's been such a busy week!  My computer has almost died...I'm humming the funeral march for it as I type...

I'm still working on getting the booth at the antique mall stocked...washing and packing and pricing...

Found a luscious new lilac color of lace for my leggings....

Worked my day off at my regular job...really?

And finally just wore myself out, sat down and enjoyed my first roses of the year in a pitcher that a friend just gave me....whew.

Y'all can just see the edge of my bulletin board that I made from bark-cloth. I love it!

I'm linking this back to the blog for show and tell Friday at My Romantic Home!
