Last post of the year!!  This week I put together a fun party outfit...

Gold Dangle Earrings from Feath & Kee

I love the unique texture that hand sanding gave this pair of earrings from our shop. I painted them with shimmery gold acrylic. Of course, they are made from recycled wood.

14 k Gold Filled Bangle from Nature Vibe Jewelry

This is a custom message bracelet from Nature Vibe Jewelry, so you can request any message.  I love this one though!  What a great reminder!

Black & Charcoal Skirt from Untitled Thoughts

This skirt from Untitled Thoughts is made from a double knit fabric sourced remnants from a local fabric store and re-purposed fabric. Proving that you can dress fabulous and be earth conscious at the same time!

Delicate Necklace Set from The Silver Wren

Three delicate layers make up this necklace set from The Silver Wren.  They are available in sterling silver, 14k gold, with more options for further customization.

Silk Blouse from XSILK

This exquisite silk blouse from XSILK is dyed used natural dyes that are safe for you and the environment.

Clutch from Sparkles

It is a good idea to have something to throw your essentials in. I love this designer inspired clutch from Sparkles.

Every party outfit needs a fantastic pair of shoes. Right? This pair from Wicked Addiction has been hand painted, then adorned with Swarovski crystals and glitter.













So goodbye 2015, hello 2016!  If you are going out tomorrow night be safe, and no matter where  you are have fun!!!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!  With holiday gatherings in mind, I put together an outfit that is laid back and festive.

Leaf Earrings from Feath & Kee

From Feath & Kee, I picked out this pair of leaf earrings.  They are made from recycled wood.  They are one of my favorite pairs in the shop right now. I really enjoyed making them.  Even the tool that I used to create the design was handmade from re-purposed wire.  They have a linseed oil finish, and stainless steel posts.

Pullover from Binna Design

I could not resist this pullover from Binna Design.  These are made to order from Icelandic wool, and you can choose from beige (as shown in the picture) or brown.

Stardust Cuff from Harmony Winters

Hand forged from sterling silver and 14k gold, this delicate cuff can be found at Harmony Winters.

Beaded Kumihimo Bracelet from The Little Empty Nest

The Japanese seed beads on this Kumihimo bracelet from The Little Empty Nest remind me of sugar crystals!

BeDazzled Christmas Shirt from The BeDazzled Elf

Not sure if you are ready for a full on commitment to the whole ugly Christmas sweater trend? This cute shirt from The BeDazzled Elf  is festive with out being over the top.

Crochet Mug Sleeve from Nandy's Nook

Nandy's Nook always has a great selection of mug sleeves and coffee cup cozies.  This rustic mug sleeve is no exception!   

Crochet Hat from Loopy Chic Crochet

I love the neutral shades of beige and barley in this handmade hat from Loopy Chic Crochet. It will go with everything!

Leopard Studded Converse Shoes from Free Street Shop

Hello Wednesday & December!  Wow it is so close to 2016.  I have another great outfit to share with you this week.

Echoing the pintucks of the Dark Matter dress, this cotton handbag from Whitney Jude will hold your necessities and go with just about anything.

How to Wear it Wednesday 11.25.15

Happy Thanksgiving!  I love the pops of color in this week's outfit.  Each of these pieces could be mixed into your wardrobe with ease.

Wooden Earrings from Feath & Kee

Newly listed in our shop, this pair of blue earrings are made from recycled pine.  They are light weight, and at 10 x 10 mm, they are not too large, not too small.

Shark Sweatshirt from Nicola and the Newfoundlander

"Swimming in the Deep End" This sweatshirt from Nicola and the Newfoundlander is handprinted on a soft, eco-friendly fabric.

Agate Hemp Necklace from Creative Earth Jeweler

The colors of this Madagascar Agate necklace from Creative Earth Jeweler are so pretty!  They make me think of a surreal sunset or perhaps sunrise.

Lightweight and durable, the wool from these custom boots is felted from super soft merino wool.  Place your order at RitaJFelt.

New in the Shop! 11.22.15

Here are the past week's additions to our shop...

Primary Blue Square Earrings from Feath & Kee

These earrings are made from scraps of pine. They were shaped and painted a lovely primary blue.  I sealed this with a coat of clear acrylic for durability.

Worry Jar from Feath & Kee

Worry Jar #2 from Feath & Kee

"Worry Jar" , and "Worry Jar #2" are very similar.  They do have some differences, but I used the same paints.  The idea behind them is really very simple.  Instead of carrying your worries around with you, write them down and place them in the jar.  Hopefully this will lighten your burden!

Money Jar from Feath & Kee

Inspired by the colors of money, this money jar was painted with metallic acrylics and sealed with clear acrylic.

Yellow Wooden Earrings from Feath & Kee

Sanded and shaped by hand, each earring in this pair is a bit different.  The bright yellow paint can add a little bit of cheer on a dreary Winter day.

Texas Tree Root Earrings from Feath & Kee

I love the gorgeous earth tones of these earrings.  They are made from a native Texas tree root.  I am not sure of the species, but just finished these with linseed oil.  I feel like their beauty speaks for itself.

Everyone needs to save for a rainy day.  This jar is the last large jar that we have that is available to ship.  In the future, we can make large jars via custom order.  However, in an effort to have some uniformity, I am trying to keep the jars close in size.  It used to be an enormous jar of spaghetti sauce, but now it is ready to hold your spare change.


That's it for this week!

How to Wear it Wednesday 11.18.15

It has been a busy week, and you can start to finally feel the chill in the air that marks the end of  the brief break that we have in North Texas between extremely hot to freezing cold.  With that in mind, it is always nice to curl up with a good book and relax.  This week's finds should help you to do exactly that.

Worry Jar from Feath & Kee

It is not usually a good idea to carry your worries around with you.  Lighten your burden a bit by writing down your worries and putting them away in this up-cycled mason jar.  I painted it in shades of gray, with the label area in silver to remind you of silver linings.  It was listed in our shop just this week.

Vintage Nightie from RPArtandVintage

This vintage French nightie from RPArtandVintage is such a lovely tranquil blue.

Owl Pillow from Narais

Sweet and peaceful, this owl pillow from Narais is just right for propping up in style.

Organic Eye Pillow from Pure Rest

The fabric, thread, chamomile, and flax seeds are all 100% organic in this soothing eye pillow from Pure Rest.

Blue Purple Footed Mug from Muddy Waters Ceramic Creations

Handthrown, then glazed with a beautiful combination of glazes, this footed mug from Muddy Waters Ceramic Creations is just right for a nice cup of tea, or hot chocolate.

Crochet Slippers from CrasiiCoco

Adorned with lace and satin, these crochet slippers from CrasiiCoco will keep your feet warm.

Silk Velvet Robe from Cloud Hunter

Long my favorite bedding shop (heavenly duvet covers, gorgeous pillows), Cloud Hunter Co. now offers clothing.  This robe is made from dead stock silk velvet, so I imagine it is lovely to wear, and environmentally friendly.












So that is it for this week.
