Holidays are Here!

Hello to all! Yes, we are still here and swinging into the glorious Christmas season with much giggling and happy anticipation of the blessings of Jesus's birthday celebration. We hope yours is merry and bright, too!

Creative Hiatus

Hello Friends! I am taking a bit of a break from both Berkshire Hostess eshops and enjoying a creative hiatus this autumn. Homeschooling is really rolling along - Jett and I are enjoying the freedoms that come with the territory and I feel the need to follow my creative tangents. So - carpe diem! - here I go. :)

Transition Time!

Blog updates will be a bit less frequent as I prepare and transition our family from glorious summertime to the new schedules of autumn. In a few weeks, I will be happily wrapped up in homeschooling and both of my etsy shops will showcase only my favorite goodies.

Herringbone Wool Cloche

A lovely handmade hat in black and white with netting and an ostrich feather, now in the eshop!

Groovy Scarf to wear with the groovy flares - oh my!

This lovely number is made from a kimono silk and backed with an embroidered linen piece. Pure groovy delightfulness! Photographed on our new shagadelic rug ...

Iced Plum Woolie Cloche

Awesome wool cloche for fall, winter and spring! Lined with poly shantung and trimmed with vintage goodness - a bit of English netting and a removable ribbon rose pin. Now in the hat shop!

Another Charm Cloche

This adorable shortie cloche made it into the hat shop this evening. I love this design - just the right amount of hat for transitioning into fall...

Patchwork Blessing

This fall I will be homeschooling our youngest son and I am so looking forward to this! I am digging out our favorite books and perusing the web for new materials, putting together a curriculum for him for third grade. A patchwork of enriching goodies! My etsy shops will have to share my attention - there is a 20% off everything sale right now in the clothing and fiber shop. I have not adjusted prices - just purchase and pay as usual and then I will refund the difference to your Paypal account. I am focusing on filling the hat shop until school begins. A few hats are discounted there, too. (Selah!)

Groovy Flare Pants

Oh yes, we stopped at IKEA in San Diego to snatch up some delicious funkadelic fabrics for our home and this afternoon I made myself some new flares! A happy dose of orange in a marine blue sea of shapes and swirls and such! Happy Tuesday!

TWEEN HAT - for guys or gals

Now in the eshop, you can check out this awesome hand knit hat for a tween (modeled by my own tween!). I made a matching knitted flower pin in case you want to girl it up!
