It is impossible to ignore. Most stores were already packing up Summer merchandise Fourth of July weekend to make room for... Back to School!! Yes, it is the season of madly searching for that one color of folder that is on the list, but somehow is the one color that the stores are not carrying this year. To tell you the truth, I am a little bit frightened. If a jumbo book cover is the same as large, then we are all set. If it is not, then luckily I am in possession of a lovely sewing machine and a couple of bottles of fabric glue. Alterations are no problem in this house!
This week, I had a little bit of guidance from Miss Kee. We picked out a few back to school necessities. All of these items are handmade. A headband from our shop is featured, but this week, the outfit is built around the lovely gold dress that Kee fell in love with.

| Upcycled Headband from Feath & Kee |
The bow for this headband is made from recycled fabric. I dyed the nylon that the headband is made from to achieve a shade that can not be easily duplicated. The end result is a one of a kind headband in Pantone's color of the year for 2015, Marsala.

| Gold Sequin Dress from Rag Robes Collection |
So when Kee was helping me find an outfit, she saw this dress, and that was the end of the story. This gorgeous dress from Rag Robes Collection will make even the most glamorous little girl happy.
