I am Sherlocked
But it’s okay because my husband is too. Yeah, so last weekend I went to Tysons Corner to pick up a new chambray tunic and black riding boots. I’d do another fashion post, but you’ve probably seen enough chambray, leggings and riding boots to last you through the summer at this point. And that ZaraRead more
UncommonGoods Gift Guide and Giveaway
Think about all the people you love and give gifts to during the holiday season. Don’t they all pretty much have everything they need and just about everything they want? A few years ago, I made the decision that instead of hitting up the mall, I would choose gifts sourced from local shops, vintage items,Read more
Handmade Holiday Guest Post on Persia Lou

Scrap fabric table runner and Zanesville Stoneage Modern
Sometimes timing just doesn’t work out. Last Thursday I had my last sewing class for the session. My intention was to make a dog bed for Chester, but instead of the fabric I ordered showing up in time for me to wash and dry it, it showed up 10 minutes before I had to leaveRead more
