ThE fasciNatIng StorY of tHe BroWN FlorAL swEaTER iN ThE thriFt stORe

2009-07-27T23:24:00.000-07:00

Lilli Moffit is a hatter but as well, sews and crafts other deliciously creative things. Take for instance, the above purse made from an old brown sweater purchased at a local thrift store. Beautiful isn't it? The price is right too, $35 (Lilli Moffit Custom Hats, 775-742-5700).

How clever of Lilli Moffit to re-invent something and give it new life and purpose.

Last Saturday, Lilli and her friend, Caroline Rhuys (Sweet Caroline Design), shared a space and displayed their goods at ArtisTree's Bohemian Bazaar & Marketplace.

A customer took notice of the brown floral purse. Interestingly, she had, at one time, owned a sweater made from the same fabric and design as Lilli's purse. The sweater had been an expensive gift from a very nice man.

But that was long ago. The man was no longer in her life and she had donated the sweater to a local thrift store.

Uh-huh. You are so right.

Same sweater. Same thrift store.

What are the chances.

Hmmm.

iT waS hoT ouT...So wE SHoPpEd & dRaNK GypSY LeMoNADE

2009-07-26T14:12:00.000-07:00

Our First Annual Bohemian Bazaar & Marketplace was alot of fun.

What could be better than perusing French antiques (Mary Louise), vintage jewelry (we love The Vintage Empire by Adrienne Miniero), hand-crafted hats (Lilli Moffit is an amazing milliner), up-cycled clothing (very cool stuff by Sweet Caroline Design, Caroline A. Rhuys) . Making paper flowers (dipped in glitter, no less), having an angel card reading by Joanna Manfredonia, imbibing in gypsy lemonade (our own concoction, spiked or not, of course we gave you the choice) and having our portrait sketched for $10. Underneath colorful bohemian tents draped with soft breezy fabrics.

Ahhhh, the gypsy life. It's not necessarily an easy life (no way), we worked hard setting up and it was pretty hot outside (upper 90's)...but I must say, I am really, truly pleased with how I look in my $10 pencil sketch. Not bad at all.

Remind me to tell you the story about the sweater and the thrift store. Amazing.

Cuki! Cuki!

2009-07-23T22:49:00.000-07:00

Iva Wilcox is affectionately called "Cuki" by her mother. Cuki means "sugar" in Serbian.

Iva taught our Buzz About Beeswax class tonight. The studio smelled delicious (beeswax has natural aromatherapy benefits) and the crew got to creating.

We are enamored with Cuki...what a talented woman. Sweet as sugar.
