Owl Vintage is a shop full of eclectic, wonderful, vintage findings. That is also the lovely shop where I got my vintage carpet bag. Here you can find a plethora of victoria era beauties, such as this amazing purse, lots of vintage jewelry, my favorite being this pair of earrings. There are a host of other lovely items such as these moccasins and even this little collar. Take a gander at this curious shop and tell me if there is anything that you might add to a wishlist! Thank you so much Owl Vintage!
Most girls love accessorizing and I would definitely be one of them! At Rusted Chain you could find a lot of beautiful simple pieces from hand stamped necklaces to bracelets, and even beautiful earrings. This particular necklace even made me laugh! Stop by and peruse through their shop and if something makes its way into your shopping cart, well, just tell your husband it was my fault that your bank account is just a wee bit lower! I will take complete responsibility.
Ms. Tips is a shop with such a wonderfully curated collection of vintage clothes for women and children. I am checking constantly to see what new things may pop in and have gotten a few goodies for myself from here as well (see this). I like this, this, and this (and whole bunch of other things). Also, her tags and packaging is so cute that I would just order something so you could see how wonderfully branded this shop is. I mean, you get letter pressed tags attached to the clothes and that is just classy! Go check out this lovely shop and tell me about something that catches your eye! Thanks Ms. Tips!!!

I have a large growing pile of fabric scraps. I refuse to throw them away because I am sure they can be used for something. I have been seeing different types of interesting necklaces made of buttons, beads, and fabric. Then, I figured why not make one out of my scraps...
I think it made my white shirt a little less boring. This was so quick and easy to make.
How to make a recycled scraps necklace (which is very similar to the straps on my braided tablecloth bag):
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
Sorry if the directions get you a little lost, but it really is easy. I promise. Maybe I should put some in the shop. Please share any other good ideas you may have of things that can be made with scraps. I would love to hear (read) them!
