3 ways to wear Vintage scarves!

I love wearing vintage scarves! I thought it would be fun to share some vintage DIY's with you on my blog. Here is one that I have shared before. I Love vintage scarves, not only are they super pretty.. I have yet to ever find two alike & they are usually very affordable.

I have several for sale at my shop AT ONLY $6 ea. Did you know that we carry hand selected vintage clothing & accessories! It is one of my FAVORITE things about my new shop. I love vintage as much as I love handmade.



I am wearing a vintage scarf in my hair today, just tie it in a not on the top of your head & tuck in the sides.. super easy & very stylish. It looks great with short hair, long hair or great for when you are growing your hair out like me!



I have a few longer scarves that would be so cute for the upcoming Fall season tied around your neck like an ascot tie or layer a few like shown below...



& if you can find one that fits your body right try wearing one as a belt over a vintage dress. Soooo cute!



I have lots of pretty scarves available in my shop! My shop hours today are 11-5! I have sooo many new things.. stop on by! :)

p.s. there is a giveaway below! Don't forget to leave your comments for a chance to win a pretty vintage clutch filled with handmade goodness!

Happy 1st Birthday Dexter!!!

Happy Birthday Dexter! We got Dexter in October as a surprise for my daughter's 11th birthday! He is a pug/Mi-ki mix!

He is quite naughty.. he likes to chew on my 1950's vintage chair.. flip flops & small objects! It is sometimes like having a baby all over again!

This pic. is from the day we brought him home...



He was eyeing up the tree at my old shop! Lol! I do have one of him chewing on it too!



They really are best friends! Buster is my 8 yr old yellow lab! They snuggle all the time!! It is the cutest thing ever! Dexter also gets Buster running around & playing by biting at Busters tail then running away.. it is so funny & cute!



Dexter loves to snuggle.. whines when I go down stairs (he won't go down stairs) eats really fast.. loves to chew & his new things is he LOOOOVES walks.. he also will go outside just to get a treat (not go potty, just go outside)! I can't imagine life without my little smushy face.. aka mushy.. aka mush mush! Lol! We do call him all those names & he does answer to mushy! :)



Happy Birthday Dexter!! xoxo!
