To DIY For: Jersey Knit Bracelet from V and Co.

I used to love a good friendship bracelet.  The thought of those braided rainbow bands bring me back to Camp Timber Trails, campfires, and pigtails.  But somewhere down the road, friendship bracelets became childish and unfashionable.

Until now...

If these DIY bracelets by V and Co. don't make you want to run to the nearest fabric store and make one for each of you closest friends...you had no childhood and I pity you.  But for those of you who enjoy a handmade bracelet, check out this tutorial from V and Co.

It's super easy, ad once you get the hang of it you'll be making bracelets in just 5 minutes.  Vanessa shows you how to make two, three, and four-fingered woven bracelets that are perfect for summer trips to the beach or backyard BBQ's.

Here's how my first one turned out:

Mine is a little rougher around the edges, as my edges weren't as clean while I was cutting my fabric.  I don't mind it though...it gives it a bit more edge.

Happy finger-weaving!

How Cool! - Wire Hanger Organizer

So, I recently shared with you my DIY jewelry organizer, along with several of the images that inspired me in the first place.  Well, I just had to add one more to the list.

One of my favorite design blogs, Decor8, featured this simple wire clothes hanger turned jewelry organizer.  So brilliantly obvious.  Why didn't I think of that?!

Delicious Discoveries: Vintage Art Lockets

My latest delicious Etsy discovery are these stunning lockets by Verabel.

Aren't these amazing?!  The authentic vintage lockets features original illustration by artist/designer, Alyson Fox. Some of the designs are taken from textile pattern and vintage portraits as well.  Naturally, my personal favorites are her series of bird and owl lockets.  Check them out after the jump!

¡Bienvenue!

Hello!  Welcome to my little space on the internet.  I finally took the plunge and decided to try my hand at blogging, as I have increasingly become more and more obsessed with various design blogs and the images/ tips / inspiration / products they have to offer.  Though, this may be a slow start, I hope you will bear with me as I begin to build what I hope will be a daily indulgence for us both!

In honor of my first DIY project in my new home.  Behold, my jewelery organizer:

 
Yes, I know the picture is not of the best quality...I'll be working on that.  But for your viewing pleasure, take a peek at some of my inspirations after the jump.
