J.Crew Warehouse Sale

Don't miss the Down East Outfitters J.Crew warehouse sale! It's at Thanksgiving Point (the red barn) until 7:00 tonight (Thursday). All the signs say Down East, but everything I looked at inside was J.Crew clothing.
I was only able to spend about 10 minutes there, but I got a dress for $15 that I'm guessing originally cost at least $150. I couldn't find the exact dress online, but it looks a little bit like this:

$9.99 and up

I just had to share this. There are some really great deals on swimwear right now from J. Crew. Stock up now while they're cheap, especially if you are open to mix and matching! They even carry long torso suits.

DIY: Armwarmers

With all the cropped sleeve coats and jackets, these arm warmers are finding a place in the world. This tutorial, courtesy of Orange Juicy Journal, shows how to make some from a pair of long socks. Long socks like these ones I posted on recently!

Fabric earrings

Today was boss's day. Or is it boss' day? Anyway, I have a wonderful boss who also loves to sew and craft, so I made these earrings as a gift for her. They were pretty simple and fun to make. They are stuffed with filling (the photo doesn't quite capture the dimension). Inspired by a darling pair of earrings that my sister-in-law Kat's sister got for her in India.

A prettier helmet

I love biking. And now it can be done oh so fashionably. I also wonder if these would fit over a scooter helmet.... Pin It

Here is a tutorial for a fall/Thanksgiving leaf garland made from fabric. Since I have very little fall decor, I think I might just make one... after I finish my T-shirt mat (which I started last night). Pin It
