Autumn Collection- Silk Scarves

I am so excited to share with you my latest set of Autumn colored scarves. They are going into the shop as quick as we can get them photographed and listed and now is the time to grab one while you can :)

My favorite, the colors are perfect for this season and I so love this one that if I didn't have another one I just claimed I'd snatch this one up. It is shiny, feminine and subtle!

Some more great scarves!

This one has a very slight defect and is being offered at a special price because of that :)

Love these colors!

This would make a great gift for an expectant Mother or any new Mommy. 

And this one hasn't been listed yet, so if you want this one then message me. I am wearing one very similar to this this season so LOVE how it goes with everything! I tie two corners together and loop around my neck like an infinity scarf. It is so great to wear around the house (our house is chilly right now) and to wear out on the town or running errands. I wear my scarves ALL the time! 

Summer Skirts- In Silk

I am excited to share with you today the first of what I hope to be many silk pieces you will find in my shop in the future.

I have wanted to make silk clothing accessible for everyone. There are so many reasons to love silk, some of which are these:

- silk is the most natural of fabrics (for a Mama of a girl with extreme eczema this is SOMETHING).
-silk is extremely durable (remember parachutes were made of silk) .
-silk though cool as if wearing nothing in summer is warm in winter.
-silk makes you feel special. The caress of it on your skin is just amazing.

This is the first silk skirt that I have made in order to start experimenting in the world of hand painted silk clothing. I made this one for a friend of mine for a special birthday of hers.

First I stretched the silk in my huge frame, hand drew the designs and painted it with French dyes. The background is also done entirely with a one inch brush :)

Then it was steamed for 3 hours.

Then it was rinsed to get any reside out to avoid coloring in future washes.

Then it was ironed and sewn.

I loved painting it and making it and hope my friend knows how special she is when she wears this luxurious silk skirt. Perhaps one day I will have a photo to share of her here of her wearing it :)

Looking forward to painting many other designs in the months to come :)

How about you, would you wear a silk skirt?
