This weekend was great for me and the collector of all things vintage accessories in me...plus I did a bit of DIY "practice" and found something I've been craving at the most unexpected place. lol! Ready???
Found all these scarves at the local Sal Val for $.50 a piece, 30 minutes before they closed. I had been avoiding going in there all day and then at 3:30 decided to go in and boom....vintage scarf heaven.:)
Three signed
Vera Neumann scarves...
THREE...the stars were perfectly aligned for me that day, I tell you! Her vintage scarves are my absolute favorite pieces to score. She created the first "signature" scarf in history.
five other great scarves, some pure 100% silk, none signed, but beautiful prints and textures....
This scarf still had the vintage "how to" tag attached.....
I know...looks like a weird combo of DIY materials but blame it on PS- I Made This and this tutorial. Truth be told....nothing I've made out of that book, has materialized into anything decent. Seriously....
Did this with the hose clamps and cheap yarn...I can do this better on the plain bangles they sell at the craft store...which is what I plan on doing.
Got my practice on doing some friendship bracelets...you can blame Honestly WTF for that new obesession. I still got it, too...lol...I can still make them.:)
I'm been pining over wrap bracelets on Etsy and even found a great tutorial on how to make them on You Tube but by the time I buy all the materials to make them, hell, I can buy one. Well, stepped into Walmart for turkey bacon and Daily's Margaritas and found these for $2 a piece. Perfect fit and everything. smh.
