All Tribal Tapestry Bags NOW AVAILABLE

All the tribal tapestry bags are finished and are finally for purchase in the Etsy shop.

If you haven't seen these floating around the blog yet, I'll fill you in on a little behind-the-story. The tribal style textile is a plush tapestry that I hunted down while thrifting in my neighborhood. It's one of the most eye-catching textile I've found yet. It's very similar to Middle Eastern rug designs... and I'm all about shapes, especially the texture it gives.

the windy city :: new tapestry bags



I had a pretty fun tapestry bag mini photo shoot this morning during Ty’s walk. It was really windy this morning, and I’m sure you can paint a funny mental picture of me chasing my hat around. You can check out the new bags in the shop already. Don't forget to check out the matching pouches and clutches right underneath them.

Both bags are OOAK and created from a vintage bohemian-style tapestry that I thrifted. One of my recent favorite finds!

Have a wonderful day!

Tapestry Clutches :: Cyber Sunday Reminder



Just in time for the sale weekend, four new tapestry clutches in various sizes
are now available for purchase in the shop. I fell in love with this
textile at the thrift store. It was separated in two plastic bags, so basically hidden, but my hawk like
thrifting reflexes caught them and took them home.


I laid it in my bed with it for a day before I proceeded to cut it up. It's just the process I go through with everything I get.. I want to be able to own it for a little bit. 
I love the process of finding something I love, and waiting for an idea to come while I watch That 70s Show (how many times have I mentioned I am obsessed with that show? it's sickening),
walk to the drafting table, and just go for it. PROOF :

Also,don't forget to take advantage of the weekend sale!

The Paraders.Rachel's vintage clothing selection is one of my favorite!! I used to live with
