Announcement Welcome to my little Etsy shop. Designing purses and clothing has become more challenging due to some health issues. I have decided to design some pillows instead. Most are one of a kind and cannot be duplicated. I have also lots of high quality and vintage fabrics stockpiled, that were meant for purses.

Purses are gypsy bohemian. Clothing are upcycled. I am an earth friendly shop, reusing and repurposing many fabrics and trim.

I love to decorate, sew, garden, look at the stars, and spend hours in nature.

Special note: All leathers and animal fur are vintage, from the 40's to the 80's. I upcycle and recycle whenever I can.

On Etsy since 2012

My huge vintage desk and sewing area. My window view.
Much loved vintage doilies and lace
My view while I work.
A place to hand sew while I watch nature. The pond is in the distance.
Piles of fabrics

Designing gypsy tapestry purses and romantic clothing.

I started cutting and sewing hand me downs when I was about 9 and found out how much I love to sew. It was so natural for me and I was really good at it. My Mother and I loved to go to the fabric store to buy a pattern and fabric. We even designed my whole bedroom outfit when I was in my early teens.

I was very unhappy working for someone else, it did not fit 'me'. I still plunged away at it always thinking there had to be a more fullfilling way I could earn an income. When I was introduced to Etsy and saw all the amazing shops, something told me 'You can do this too', so I did. I took the leap and have never looked back.

I have three shops total on Etsy and I work very hard, but love every minute! I usually start my day at 6 am. I package all my orders up from the prevoius day and list new items. When I return from the post office, I talk with customers and start creating. I take breaks visiting my gardens. At the end of the day I photograph and edit, to start the whole process again tomorrow.

I have just completed my new studio in May of 2013. I was given the large antique desk if I hauled it away at one of my many trips to estate sales. Now I have panoramic views out to my gardens and pond while I work. Having a great work space has enhanced my creativity.

I feel so very blessed to have completely turned my life around thanks to Etsy and all the amazing members. Here's to finding more vintage fabrics and lace!!
