How to Wear it Wednesday 11.02.16

Hello November!  We are well into Autumn, but the temperatures here in North Texas are still pretty warm. So here is an outfit for these last warm days of Fall.

Church Wood Leaf Earrings from Feath & Kee

The wood for these leaf earrings from our shop came out of a local church that was being remodeled.  I burned the vein detailing by hand and finished them with linseed oil.

Short Sleeved Tee from RoEn Art

Mischievous kitty faces were printed on this top from RoEn Art.  Each shirt is made to order using a jersey blend fabric, then printed using hand carved blocks.  At this time, they do have a size small ready to ship.

Paua Shell and Sterling Silver Ring from The Twist On Jewelry

Mettalic Silver and Merlot Two Strap Sandal from JS Sandals

This beautiful twist wire ring from The Twist On Jewelry was handcrafted by Bo Fain from sterling silver, and decorated with a carved paua shell.  Each piece is custom made for a perfect fit.













These elegant sandals from JS Sandals have a cork and leather sole.  The straps are made from three layers of leather, with lambskin for the final, inner layer.

Flowing Creekside Pendant from Stink "N" Cute

You can wear a little bit of Kentucky with this unique pendant from Stink "N" Cute was made using Appalachian Creek pebbles.  The hardware and accompanying chain are antiqued bronze.

Upcycled Ruffle Skirt from Lucysroom

This up-cycled cotton petticoat skirt from Lucysroom has been hand dyed in chocolate and black using a marble technique. It also has a lace heart accent.

Mad Legs Wallet from Kate Garey

A cute applique decorates this handmade canvas wallet from Kate Gary.  The inside is made of faux leather, and has tons of storage and little slots and compartments to keep everything organized.










That's it for this week!

How to Wear it Wednesday 4.13.16

As I right this, there is a nice soft rain falling outside.  We have been lucky so far with storms this year, and the Bluebonnets are blooming.  Mother's Day is just around the corner, so this week is an outfit and gift ideas for Mom.

Reclaimed Wood Key Chain from Feath & Kee

Brand new in the shop this week, "Mom's Keys" is made from reclaimed wood that came out of a local church that was being remodeled. After burning the words, I finished it with linseed oil.

Vinyl Decal from Zindee

This vinyl decal from Zindee can be stuck just about anywhere.  It is available in a variety of colors, and you can request custom sizing.

Ribbon Wool Flats from Momoish

These felted flats from Momoish are made from virgin Maori wool.  The bows can be taken off, and although the soles are coated with liquid rubber, you can also request a rubber vibram sole.

Crochet Friendship Bracelet from Slope Girl Knits

Love the simple pop of color that this crocheted friendship bracelet from Slope Girl Knits provides.  You can order sets, and they are available in different colors.

Flower Pens from Morning Delight Medley

Write in style with these flower pens from Morning Medley Delight.  You can choose from a variety of colored flowers and blue or black ink.

Vintage Inspired Dress from WNPCbyRachel

How to Wear it Wednesday 12.02.15

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

Gold Wooden Earrings from Feath & Kee

So the inspiration from our shop this week is this newly listed pair of earrings.  They are made from recycled pine and painted a shimmery gold.

Galaxy Print Dress from iheartfink

"Dark Matter", this gorgeous dress from iheartfink is made from hand printed fabric.  I love the construction and how well the colors work with each other.

Women's Ankle Boots from Julia Bo

Available in a variety of colors and leathers, these ankle boots from Julia Bo are sure to become favorites.

Jade Necklace from Tillies Treasure

The delicate weaving truly complements the orange vermillon mashan jade beads in this necklace from Tillies Treasure.

Khaki Trench from Beely Designs

I really like versatility, and this piece from Beely Designs definitely fits the bill.  Made of medium weight wool blend fabric, it can be worn on it's own as a shirt dress, or added as an extra layer of warmth.

Pintuck Purse from Whitney Jude

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

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!

New in the Shop! 11.15.16

We had new additions to the shop this week.  All three where a long time coming.  Developing a new item requires many hours of trial and error.  Then dozens of prototypes.  Feath & Kee now has a section dedicated to phone stands.

Each stand is hand-crafted with attention to detail.  From the beginning, Bryan wanted these to easily fit into everyday life while also adding to the decor of the room that they will eventually reside in.  All of three of these are made from reclaimed wood and recycled materials.


The base of this gorgeous stand is oak, and the back is from a vintage golf club.  Bryan sanded and refinished the club to bring out the grain lines.  Then, he applied several coats of linseed oil.  This would be a great gift for a golfer or sports fan.

Vintage Golf Club Phone Stand from Feath & Kee

These next two stands are very similar, as they are made from the same wood and same design.  There is a little bit of difference in size, and some difference in decoration.  The wood for these came out of an old church here in Olney that was being remodeled.  I am not certain of the species of wood.  it has a lovely reddish hue.  We didn't want to cover the natural beauty, so again Bryan finished these with several coats of linseed oil.

Recliner Phone Stand from Feath & Kee

Recliner Phone Stand #2 from Feath & Kee

So that is it for last week's new listings!  We have many more coming, so make sure that you follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram so you do not miss out!

How to Wear it Wednesday 8.05.15

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.

Ruffled Tights from She Runs Like a Girl

Custom made, and available in capri or ankle lengths, these ruffle tights from She Runs Like a Girl are so cute!

Handmade Leather Shoes from Li'l Aussie Shoe Co.

These awesome shoes from Li'l Aussie Shoe Co. have soles made from vibram rubber for flexibility and durability.  They are custom made, and you can even choose the thickness of the sole when you place your order.

Alpaca Coat from Acurruca

Oh so soft!  This coat from Acurruca is made from 100 % natural Alpaca wool.  It is custom made to order, and you can request different shades.

Sandwich Wrap from Pipsqueaksbags

This adorable sandwich wrap from Pipsqueaks Bags combines eco-friendly and cuteness.  It also doubles as a place mat once it is unfolded.

Insulated Lunch Bag from Carried Away Bags

Adorable and functional, this lunch bag from Carried Away Bags has plenty of room for your wrapped up sandwich and lunchtime snacks.

Recycled Crayons from Blue Bird Sews

These recycled crayons from Blue Bird Sews are sure to be a favorite!  They come in their own hand sewn carry bag.

Small Backpack from Creatures of Delight

Last, but certainly not least, this sweet little guy is perfect for toting essentials to and from school in style.  Each backpack is handmade with latex and rubberized canvas.  The artist signs each one.  Find him at Creatures of Delight.












I hope that everyone enjoys these last few precious weeks of Summer.  See you next week!
