a collection of thoughts and things
thrifty finds-
Picked up this 70's dressmaking book to add to my collection, I've managed to find quite a few great vintage sewing books! I also found this lovely vintage fabric in a pretty autumnal print, I adore the tan background and rust,mustard,and olive tiny florals. I'm hoping to make a dress in a similar shape to my favorite above but modified with short sleeves and a cream peter pan collar! (mom made things in the 90s(puffy paint shirts&embellished straw hats) and taught me simple sewing when I was little..my favorite place to shop for craft supplies was an old Victorian house that sold me fabric scraps in all different designs..one of the first things I made was custom scrunchies for my school friends.)
love the scalloped edge on these pale yellow gloves

apple picking-
Luke and I went to our local orchard for apple picking and it was the most perfect fall day! We've been having a staycation this week and just hanging out and visiting the places we love around town. We're going to get sushi for lunch and make a fall feast later with homemade apple pie, and hot apple cider..love fall food!
I had this song in my head the whole time..
like an apple on a tree
hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
but you picked me
I hope everyone is having a lovely week!

You were able to find quite a few awesome finds in the sale section of Modcloth. I keep adding and taking things away from my "cart"...so many beautiful choices. Not enough money.
Haha
