March 1st! To quote Karen's mom, "The back of winter is broken." We've had a little bit of melting, although it's back to being cold today, but spring is definitely close by. Don't even try to remind us of the May snowstorms in Cooperstown...we can't hear you!
So, here are a few more items for sale - bright things that remind us of Spring!
This grey jacket started out as a plain-Jane top. She cried out for some embellishment, which she got it in the form of fabric covered buttons, vintage and found trim, and some creative purple stitching, which, we're afraid, probably won't show up in the photos. This is a soft-structured, sweatshirt fabric jacket. It is a size Medium/Large (will fit loosely on a size 8, and will fit up to a size 12). Recycling never looked so good! SOLD.
This embellished denim jacket reminds us of Spring, with lots of floral ruffles, and an extra treat: a vintage enamel floral pin, which is included! A great denim jacket (Levi's), size Large, has been treated to a healthy dose of vintage lace and found fabric ruffles in shades of Spring: pink, purple, orange, red, and green. Vintage orange rick-rack brightens the jacket, as does an appliqued patch of multi-colored birds on a fruit tree. The awesome vintage enamel floral pin is included, because it just looks so darned good on this jacket! SOLD
This apron really makes us think of Springtime, because it was designed as a gardening apron (but you could wear it for cooking, crafts, whatever...). It started out as a thrift store dress, but you can tell that it's much better as an apron. In shades of pink and grey, this garment is ready for work, but doesn't mind being a little gussied up! Her pocket is a nice, deep one made from a vintage kitchen towel, and she has an appliqued flower on the front, plus a fabric-covered button fastening the back. Cut to fit all sizes, nice and loose - and meant to be a beautiful over-garment! SOLD
