Happy Birthday Dani!!!

I refuse to act my age. So today, I'm wearing a tutu and the Wish Upon A Star headband (handmade by Taylor and coming soon to the shopdisowned.com!).

And metallic capped fuschia pumps. I dare you to judge me. It's my birthday.

To Live and Die in Dixie

Ok, so it's not even southern, but Taylor and I went back to our hometown for Thanksgiving last weekend.
And, well... It's not Dixie, but it sure is country.

We had an AMAZING shoot of some new inventory (and I may have gone a little overboard on the velvet).
Many thanks to Brittani Kline, our incredible model and fellow Central PA native. Taylor's photos look amazing, and you can see all of it at www.shopdisowned.com.

A Stitch In Time

I've found that adding small personal touches can make a simple object truly memorable.

From embroidering some spare fabric to make a little throw pillow....

To patching a quilt with some chunky contrast embroidery thread.

Also, mending things by hand gives me a very 18th century vibe. I feel like I should be sewing by candlelight... Is that normal? I'm quite ok if it's not.

Put your own stitch on something you love.
