The Best Hat Ever & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #740
Back in September, Jeff and I attended the Adirondack Wool & Arts Festival in Greenwich, New York, on the way home from our date weekend in Troy, New York. There were so many talented folks sharing so many beautiful creations that I struggled to choose just one thing to bring home as a souvenir. As I circled through the booths, my desire for all the things kept growing which makes it impossible to decide on any one thing. So I would take a business card and continue on my way waiting for the perfect thing to grab my attention or make a decision after I shopped all the booths. When…

DIY Corduroy Wrap & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #728
Happy Friday, y’all! Today I am sharing a brown corduroy wrap that I made for myself last summer. I actually already shared this piece for a thrifty style challenge last August when I first made it. I found the lightweight brown corduroy fabric on the clearance shelf at JOANN. I was drawn to the tribal symbols and the little embroidered figures of men on horses, but I also considered that the print might not be very respectful to indigenous peoples. Probably the reason the fabric was on sale. But it was there, super inexpensive, wanting me to buy it because I adore all things that represent the indigenous tribes of…
