New items in my booth

The clothing you see here is not vintage, but upcycled!  I have found several pretty tops as well as beautiful whole slips that can be worn as slip dresses over tanks or camisoles.  I think this is a more sophisticated romantic prairie look.  Just pretty!
This is four pieces, all different sizes and all priced separately.  The white outfit consists of a full slip in white with pretty lace trim on top, a cool white cotton sleeveless top, a pretty crinkled white top that ties on the side, and a lovely long white linen skirt.  Sort of romantic prairie upscaled!

Here you can see the top of the slip, the sleeveless blouse and the crinkled ruffled blouse.

The white linen skirt has nice simple detail at the bottom.

This pink crinkle blouse is so pretty!  It is too small for me -- drat!  Under it is a lovely full slip in pale pink.

I will be adding pretty whole slips as well as bustiers (black, white and colors) as they get finished.  I am sewing embellishments (ribbon, lace, vintage buttons, rhinestones) onto the bustiers.  Bustiers look great over t-shirts, paired with jeans with ruffled tops.  Probably too hot for here in the Phoenix area right now, but great for our mild winters!

Romantic Gothic Ghosts bag

Just finished my first project with the Romantic Gothic Ghosts workshop.  I am lovin' this bag!  It is very pretty and very romantic.  Used linen, vintage laces, vintage fabric, tatting, and a vintage earring.  Am lovin' this!!
I made the bag out of ecru linen.   Real easy to cut out and sew together following the instructions in the workshop.  Will be making more bags in the days to come.
I think you can see the tatting that surrounds the image if you click on the image to enlarge it.  I did add a bit of pink to her cheeks.  She looked a little pale without it.  LOL!!
