purple moon ahead...

  I slipped this silk + dye fantasy wrap into the shop the other day. So dreamy and soft and free... Perfect for reciting love poetry under a full moon...

  Spring is here and with it... Romance... I've been bitten by the blossoming spring crush bug. Just a little. xo m

spring sweaters...

   A whole gang of new sweaters made it into the sweater section of my shop this week. Here in the Pacific Northwest, it's so drizzly and windy year round that I always have at least a sweater...  Just the thing to keep away Springtime chills...

  Today it's more like umbrella weather round here. Gonna stay inside making these gems and hoping it will dry up a bit. xo m

summer lover...

Well, it is newly spring but... You know you want to shop for your dream beach bag already!! I mean, not just good for the beach but soooo many other outings, library, market, errands, picnics. you know.

  These are the gems (the blue one!!) that made it into the shop this week.  Get over there and check it out! And just because I love you so, use the coupon code "springfever" for 20% off (for the next 48 hours) to make it that much easier. Now go look! xo m

a delicate darkness is coming...

I was feeling more than a little melancholy when I dreamt up this little tea...

Reading Sylvia Plath poetry by candlelight and such... Roses, cocoa nibs!! it's really delightful! xo m

in dreams...

  I've created a new herbal tea blend. The key element to this blend is the magical herb Mugwort. There is also chamomile, sage and a few other lovely herbs. Drank before bed it helps in have vivid, intense, lucid dreams. Even prophetic dreams... Plus, it's quite calming on digestion, relaxing and has a nice floral, slightly earthy flavor. Find "In Dreams" tea in my etsy shop.

Here's to a lovely and restful weekend. xo m

wuthering heights....

  I just added a pretty little herbal tisane to the shop. Perfect for sipping while you ponder a spring induced crush... stop by bluebell and bonnet and check out my "wuthering heights" tea. 25% off if you use the coupon code "DREAMLOVER" at checkout. yes... my dreams have been pretty crazy lately.

ahhhh transitions... xo m

dress line...

   I'm finishing up grading patterns for a few simple dresses to introduce to the shop. I think I'll make one of a kinds in vintage fabrics and also have a made to order option in simple colors and maybe a little hand painting on the body... so much work. It's a good thing but I wish I had an extra pair of hands. I can't keep up with all my ideas... I'll just keep writing them down and I'll get to them eventually.

 blending teas...

 assistant sunbather...

 I will probably make a few tanks out of old t shirts to put into the shop as well. time permitting...

my "cart"while thrifting... piles and piles of clothes and bags and shoes to list. Easing into Spring. I got lucky and came across a ton of lightweight knits for dress making. now to eat a quick lunch and get back to work. xo m
