Aprons

It is customery for every women to have a collection of aprons to use in their Italian kitchen. It is nice to see that women in Italy are still avid users of aprons in their everyday lives.

I have already made a couple as gifts, because I know they are very practical. For this reason I have been inspired to conduct some research and start making a line of aprons.

Here is some of my research, I have always been attracted to vintage anything!

And not only aprons to be used in the kitchen but also at work, the pockets are wonderful to keep scissors, tape measure, etc. close by. I made a quick interpretation of one of these to use at work, it is very handy!

The of course they are the lovely decorated versons to be used when one has guests over for dinner!

I have already begun to make some versions of these aprons, of course I will post them when they are completed!

The New Season is Here!

For my new piece in my Etsy shop I was inspired by the beautiful weather! Finally we see some sun, and I can see our rosebush starting to bloom. Hopefully it is the end of snow for us!

This lovely is set on a felt wired base. The colors and feel of the fabrics inspired me to make this headpiece. The silky netting is the perfect length to just covers one's eyes. Mysterious anyone??

Here you can see a close-up from the top-view- notice the three rosebuds!

I love my Italia Vogue!

I recently purchased the March 2010 Italia Vogue which was a double issue including a Couture issue! (That's one reason I love living in Italy, the amazing magazines are much less here, it was almost impossible to spend that amount of money to purchase it in the States!)

I thought I would share a few of my favorite layouts from the Couture issue! Enjoy!

LADY GREY by Tim Walker

"Una Stoardinaria dimora partizia nel Nord dell'Inghilterra si desta da un lungo sonno, duranto decenni, per ospitare un eccentrico set. Negli splendidi, immensi saloni prendono cosi vita spiriti, sirene e fate piumate: visioni oniriche che indossano abiti da favola, citando i mondi fantiastici della letteratura inglese ottocentesca e le pellicole di Jean Cocteau.."

An extrodinary dwelling begins in the North of England as it arouses itself from a long sleep, which has lasted decades, this was the ideas behind the ecentric set. In the spendid, immense halls which take on the life of spirts, sirens and fairies. Visions that wear dresses from fables, citing the fantastic worlds of the nineteenth-centurey English literature and the films of Jean Cocteau.."
