Bytes & Bobbins

I’ve recently opened a new etsy shop to sell off some of the vintage items I have accumulated and never use.

Check it out a few of the items I’ve got listed:

Shabby Apple is a great little store with lots of gorgeous dresses.  I’ve been wanting one for some time and now that Meg Nielsen has a giveaway going on, I’m hoping I’ll finally get my shot!  To enter Click here and leave a message about how much you love this dress!  :)

So, It’s been a year since my last post.  I realize this.  I think I’m going to give it another go — this whole blogging thing, that is.  And I’d like to start things off with an amazing Ready to Wear Collection from Marc Jacobs.  Seriously — I can’t afford any of these things, but I can certainly try to cobble together a pattern and sew some of them.

The brown, two-piece outfit reminds me of a refashion from this blogger.  Maybe I can accomplish something like that, also, maybe I can just shoot for NOT taking year long breaks from blogging again :)  I’d count that a success.

I don’t wear many t-shirts.  In fact, my waredrobe is lacking in the “casual” department altogether.  I think it’s part of growing up and gettign a real job.  I don’t really have any place to wear casual clothing, except on the weekends, and lets face it that’s only 2 out of 7 days a week.  Most of the time I feel like t-shirts aren’t worth the cost when measured against the “will I actually wear this” yard stick.   But I after recently discarding [ie sending to the goodwill] a good many articles of clothing that I wasn’t into anymore/didn’t fit, I’ve found myself actually needing to purchase some t-shirts and weekend clothes.  I’ve been surfing around the net and found a few I like.
