things I love

Part of my creative process involves scouring through vintage styles to find pieces
that resonate with my thoughts on the coming season. 

Recently, I came across this dress, which I found to be perfect in just about every way.  

The fabric had had a past life as someone's table cloth, although never used as such.  The bound edges, visible at the sideseams and hem which also happended to dip lower at the sides for an elegant hankerchief-like hem--but not too over the top.  The simple neckline and armhole had been left to unravel ever so slightly. 

While the gorgeous silk belt was made from a twisted taffeta ribbon, woven through the openings in the cloth.

I was even smitten with the presentaton of this dress.  I imagined a woman, with a single lovely treasure in her spartan closet, hanging from its wire hanger awaiting a chance to be worn again. 

Just goes to show you, you don't need a closet full but just one or two perfectly chosen pieces.  Hopefully, you will enjoy this as much as I did.

 We found the perfect accessory to our
tiny chic pieces--
Pork Chop Kids
thigh high socks. 

I love the way their fun argyle pattern works perfectly with our Nona Shirtwaist or Maeve Skirt.  And the neopolitan stripe was made to be worn with our Caitlin Kilt. 

But both patterns are so fun and cozy, they will go with just about anything you have hanging in your closet. 

Oh, and did we mention that they are made in the US, well they are, just like all our tiny chic pieces.

Find yours at our online boutique.

"Magnificent, modern, and made to last", thanks cool mom!

We feel like the whole world has been employing the idea,
"If you haven't got anything nice to say,
well then don't say it." 

Because lately, the only thing we hear are these
incredibly wonderful, glowing reports
about ses petites mains. 

And we say, keep talking, you've got nice things to say!
