More from MaryNotMartha...

O.k., so I have a weak will... Here are some more goodies that I bought from MaryNotMartha.etsy this weekend.

I love violets :)

I also love this ribbon.

SPREE!

I spotted this seller today, and despite my pretence of saving money, I just had to get some goods. I've been making hats lately (I've been told I should sell them, maybe I'd better sell some so I can afford my craft orders). The etsy seller is MaryNotMartha.etsy.com

I adore this ribbon. They have it in dark brown too.

I don't know how I missed spotting this shop before in my previous journeyings through etsy.

These were the ones that drew me into the shop.

I can't wait to get this stuff in the mail. :)

Saltwater-Fall 09

I just went over to the Salwater website:
Drool.
I love their latest collection.

Yoshimi's pretty coat

I love this coat. I like trench/belted coats anyway. :)

Mod-coats

I hadn't been over to Modcloth for a while, so today I went over and had a peep at the coats.

Now I'm practically drooling all over myself, they have so many lovely coats.

I love this one: the collar is gorgeous, perfect for pairing with hats.

I love the scallop details. The color is cool too.

Elegant.

I love it. The lines are graceful and the print and the buttons are fun.

Another coat that I just adore, does this coat remind anybody besides me of caramel candy?

fabric flowers

I'm a huge fan of flowers. Floral fabric, millinery flowers, flower jewelry.
Anyway, I use and make them--a lot.
I'm always scoping out the web for free tutorials on how to make fabric flowers, so I thought that I would post a few of them here:
From martha stewart crafts:

I love these, they make these ones with craft punches. Both tinsel trading co. and Blumchen have amazing little stamens that you can use for the centers.
