I have created new items for my Etsy shop and am sharing them exclusively with you all first!  These are the first A.Co Designs embellished tees.  The extra long tees feature a great chiffon ruffled collar or double rosettes on the lapel area.  The jersey is stretchy and super comfy, and for just $16, it's an easy and inexpensive way to dress up any outfit.

Tee & ruffle/rosette colours are customizable - just ask.

Thrifted jacket (last seen here), DIY top, A.Co Designs Shredded Scarf,
Seduction jeans, Bamboo gladiators (not shown, but last seen here),
Suzy necklace, Louis Ardene watch, gifted bracelet, Aldo & Hot Diamonds rings

I found the fabric for this top on a recent jaunt to the fabric store.  I'd seen the material several times in my previous trips there, but didn't buy any (although I was very drawn to it).  I finally realized what to make with it: a tee!  It turned out great; it's a stretchy jersey material, boat-necked in an a-line cut.  Great for casual days, with jeans or leggings, a throw-on-and-go type of thing.  Perfect.

As I mentioned, I headed to one of the largest garage sales this past weekend.  It was a great morning (yes, morning, as we arrived there just before 8am and left just after 11am - and didn't even see half of it) and I walked away with some really great items.

I was so pumped when I discovered that Helen at In Elegance awarded me with her special blog award.  Thanks, lovely!



This award is a little different as each recipient designs their own award to pass on, that way each award is unique and different.
