"i've been working on these for days and days. bottle caps, mod podge, vintage sewing patterns, a circle cutter, gold spraypaint, pinbacks, and beads. each bead was glued on one by one. oh man, it was a tedious job. it's not too much of a "softie" but it was the first idea i had when thinking of "vintage catwalk". i had fun with this project!"

"my vintage item for the catwalk stems from a visit to Aunt Loretta's in Palm Springs, CA, at Christmastime. Actually, she's my sweetheart's Aunt Loretta. She was raving about handknit dishcloths, which I had heard of, but hadn't ever seen. They just seemed so ... archaic. But sweet, and so simple to make!"

She is so glamorous, n'est pas?"
