Happy (Upcycled) Spring

It's been a string of grey, chilly, damp days here in Brooklyn and I'm daydreaming about the warmer, sunnier days ahead.



These upcycled floral dresses and skirts made from wool scarves by Mrs Pomeranz on Etsy caught my eye as perfect for these transitional days of early Spring. The styling of the skirt with the black tights and shoes is a perfect for today's New York City forecast: periodic sun and clouds, windy, high of 43 degrees clouding up tonight with a chance of snow showers.





Happy first day of Spring!

Nautical Decor Detail

Rugged, simple yet full of character is the way I describe Landlocked Sailor's Manila and hemp towel ring.


Landlocked Sailor describes themselves as "a couple of tallship sailors who were landlocked in Indiana for a few years, but now we're back on the West Coast and loving the sea!" Wouldn't it be great to be a tallship sailor!?

Available here.

I'm Baaaack!

OK so I've been juggling a lot lately but I'm back and dusting off the ol' blog to say hello and share the latest nautical creations: POUCHES!



These recycled sail pouches have been on the table in pieces just waiting to be sewn for way too long! They are the perfect size to stow cosmetics in for your next trip, wrangle odds and ends that get lost in the cavern of your bag, or to keep your phone accessories in. All very practical ideas indeed. However, my favorite use would be to stash some necessities and use it as a clutch on a summer date!

Ah, the possibilities....
