vintage scarf dress

Did you see that Marni is doing a collection for H&M?  I love the mix of patterns.  It re-ignited my interest in trying to create a dress from vintage scarves.  The first time I wanted to attempt this was after watching the Dries Van Noten Spring 2010 runway show.  The dresses above are made by [...]

adirondacks made from old skis

I saw these chairs on the side of the road when I was up visiting my Dad in Landaff, NH. Pretty cool. I think they’d look great with a sheep skin thrown over them.
