loving right now… shoes with bows

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

What’s not to love?  A bow on a shoe is like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, it’s not necessary but it makes it that much better.

When I was in art school I studied weaving.  I loved the end result, having a solid piece of fabric created with your own hands, but oh how I hated the set up.  The warping board, threading the heddles – if you’ve ever woven you know what I’m talking about.

But now that I’m older and (I hope) a more patient  and centered person I think I would actually be well suited to weaving.  And when I come across shops like Loom Lab I could just kick myself for not having learned more about it when I had the chance.

All those gorgeous scarves, woven using wools, cottons and silks.  Take a look for yourself right here.

Now that the cooler weather is here my mind turns to hats and scarves. And while I don’t particularly like the cold weather I do love the cold weather accessories.  And who doesn’t love a pompom hat? Adorable!
