So many great ideas in the new Marie Claire Idees! I love these painted cardboard birds flying across the door. I am going to throw this picture and a book of Early American embroidery designs that includes some wonderful birds into the runcible bin with a cardboard box and see what happens.
Last night I was sewing some last minute fur leg warmers and "otter pelt" neck warmers for my nineteenth century Ft. Ross dwellers. The fake fur department is lovely. What about a wonderful muff, like this red one? You have to have the right coat or sweater for a muff, a backdrop really.
The Winter issue of Marie-Claire Idees is always their highlight and I agree this one didn't disappoint. I loved the plaid blanket and the fair-isle chair covers, too.
ReplyDeleteThe muff is amazing! Do people really buy/make/wear these things? I will be on the lookout this winter! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh drat!!!! I just left the bookstore this afternoon and didn't pick up this issue. I suppose another trip back wouldn't be awful..........
ReplyDeleteYes, you really can't just throw on a muff. Ensemble required. I had one as a kid and I didn't like how I had to keep my hands in that one spot all the way to school. xo Kay
