Musings: Saturdays Are For...

Skyping amazing (and handsome) people

Style: Remake Black Clutch

So the other day I spent $2.00 on this simple black clutch from a thrift store. It's a black vinyl number that had splatters of what looked like gold dust in random places (previous owners nailpolish?) I know I couldn't just leave it be. The lovely Kinsey at Sincerely Kinsey did something similar. She wasn't dealing with slippery vinyl though. I didn't use the tacky glue, but instead just plastered that thing is Modpodge. I did one doily on one side and one on the other. I tried to cover the major spots that had the gold on them. I must say too that my Great-Grandmother who passed away two years ago made these doily's. I have a whole bag full of them that I've been dreaming of what to do with forever. Honestly it's not perfect (the Modpodge is somewhat outside of the doily and you can see it if you look close). I love it though, and am looking for a time to bring this beauty out!

Musings: Shifty

So I bought it without knowing how to drive a standard. I was seduced by the perriwinkle and the cuteness! One driving lesson down and I can shift but I can't stop without stalling. Thus, tomorrow this chicky takes the bus! I think a few more hours going around with the Dad-o as co-pilot and I can drive this sucker. But there were too many tears for my liking tonight. Bed time for this one.
