Damn Right it isn't Free!

Oh Free People, how could I possibly be free when your clothes are so expensive? I’m just going to make your styles out of thrifted items instead. Thanks for the inspiration.





The last 3 look easy to make, sew a top to a skirt, maybe add buttons or embellishments, and there you have it.

No Longer, No Longer

Chan Luu Jewelry.
Detail showing the Chinese Zodiac. I saw skull beads at a shop in Sedona, AZ last summer that I wish I would have purchased.
Rose quartz, the stone of "universal love" is said to benefit spiritually with its gentle soothing energy. It is supposed to give comfort to anyone whose heart is wounded. Rose quartz heals the emotional body, relieves loneliness, releases repressed hurts, encourages self love, and offers inner peace, among others. I think it's lovely.
I loving mixing metals in jewelry. Chels snagged a handmade, braided gold and silver ring that I wore for some time. I lost that ring wading in the waves in St. Augustine beach during our friendship's bad spell; the loss being a beacon of our rift.
