The boy and I saw him off at 7 a.m. 

I have commenced my worrying...

However, never fear! 

I shall persevere by staying busy and creating like crazy!

Thank you ever so much for visiting, sweet friends.

It's a Fringe Giveaway!

.

Hello, dear ones!  I have some exciting news...

I'm doing a Fringe Giveaway to celebrate my 4 year anniversary on Etsy,

and to say thank you for your support, kindness and friendship.

Yes, it's been 4 years since I opened Fringe on Etsy. 

It's hard for me to believe.

My experiences have been incredible.

To celebrate this little milestone, I'm giving away a one-of-a-kind piece.

From my Wild West Series.

I hope you love it...

"They saw me, those reckless seekers of beauty, and in a night, I was famous."

~ Lillie Langtry

This Bustle Collar is quite special.

Made from a gorgeous yarn,

the colors change from pale aqua,

turquoise,

deep aqua,

denim blue,

camel and caramel.

It's sumptuous,

ruffled,

soft as butter.

Textural and sculptural.

Mold the ruffles, for they are pliable.

Attach a sparkly brooch,

a strip of old lace,

a leather lace and trinket.

Dream of days gone by, a girl on the plains,

a self-sufficient woman of strength,

a gentle breeze and the sun,

romance and the wild west... 

Are you ready, sweet lovely friends?

The rules are simple. 

Just leave a comment and I will add your name to the drawing.

The winner will be drawn on

Turquoise Tuesday Giveaway!

This week, Turquoise Tuesday is extra special. I’m doing a Fringe giveaway to celebrate my birthday month, October.

It’s only the second giveaway for this blog, but it’s a big one, literally.

I'm just so excited to announce that the Fringe Giveaway will be for my new design, the Daredevil Cowl in gorgeous turquoise. It would make a wonderful gift for yourself or someone you love. It’s fabulous for women and men alike.

Turquoise Tuesday Giveaway!

Yippee! It's Tuesday, which means turquoise! This isn't just any Turquoise Tuesday though. Today would have been my beloved grandmother Ardith's 90th birthday. She left us two Octobers ago and I miss her every day.

I wanted to do something to celebrate her birthday and to show how much it means to me that you take time out of your day to come visit me. Something to make it a happy day of celebration for us all. That's when I decided to do my first ever Fringe Giveaway. It just so happens that Ardith's birthday falls on a Tuesday this year.

To tie it all together, I chose to make this extra special Lily Lariat in turquoise. I made the lily leaves from a gorgeous butterfly pattern cotton fabric. When wearing this design, the lilies flutter about with your movements. To me, that's a somewhat magical combination with the butterfly fabric and the fluttery movement of the petals....

This Lily Lariat is a perfect spring and summer accessory. The colors are enchanting and will go with any complexion. Also, it's the perfect splash of color to take along on vacation. It takes up very little room, making it excellent for even the lightest packers.

You can see more examples of how to wear this style of lariat and other details here.

So, are you ready, sweet beautiful friends...?
