ESPRESSO ANYONE?

I LOVE THIS COWL! In fact I almost didn't list it because this is the only piece of the fabric I have. I have had it tucked in my stash for years and just didn't know what to do with it...well I hope you like the results as much as I do!
The flower is wonderful upcycled wool sweaters and the center bead is actually hand made..I bought is a few years ago from another Etsy seller.





It is sooooooo warm and soft you really won't want to take it off! Seriously!

IT'S A WRAP



This turned out better than I thought! It's the perfect weight to wear over a sweater or jacket. In fact I am sitting here with it wrapped around my shoulders as I am doing this post. The silk keeps the texture of the wool off your neck and chin.
Even though it is a light blue I would consider it neutral because of the rich yummy moss brown silk lining.

Soft and warm are the best words to describe this OOAK upcycled wrap. The light blue tweed wool is from a vintage (1970's) skirt,the dark mossy brown silk lining is new fabric. I added a wavy stitching detail out of metallic thread.
Adding the carrier helps keep the wrap in place.
A wonderful vintage broach would be a nice added detail.

I would suggest either dry cleaning or washing in cold water on delicate and air drying.

Wrap measures 21x54 It would easily fit up to a large.

RE-OPENING OF BONGHI VESTITI

After being away for some time I have finally re-opened my Etsy shop! I have decided I don't want to deal with the gov't and will be offering products for adults as well as teens/tweens and even pets. I guess you could say it is what ever strikes my fancy.

I have listed a few things already but will be adding more this next week.


I constructed and hand painted this great little top out of soft cotton knit in a rich crimson color. It is gathered to give it a relaxed look.

I'M STILL AROUND!

This one is for Dawn...hahah...I told you one of these days your going to be surprised!
Not that I'm posting that much but I really am going to get busy and do something. Since we moved here last fall I have been finding more excuses to let the blog slide.

I'm going to get back focused on my creations among other things. Every now and then I might just ad my 2 cents worth if something is "bugging" me!

So stay tuned and check back soon...there might actually be something worth reading :)

Have a great day!!!!
