Some cool stuff. Getting excited for Fall.
Who doesn't love the vintage patterns you can find with oilcloth? My good friend Leah has started making some really cute bags, clutches and purses out of this fabulous, indestructiable stuff. Harpersmarket.etsy.com. The next best thing to duct tape. Love it.

I also love the look of coffee burlap bags. Javagaldesigns has made some messanger bags out of this stuff. It gives off such a warm vibe and would be a great fall accessory. Javagaldesigns.etsy.com.

I have a bunch of extra scrap fabric around my house that I don't want to throw away. See Cocorosecouture.etsy.com for amazing fabric scrap rosette necklaces. Get some funky, fun-colored fabrics and go to town. Dress up that dull cardigan. It's sure to be a conversation starter.

Thisbluebird.etsy.com has some great vintage brooch necklaces. I find old brooches at garage sales, thrift stores and there are some really great colored stones in some of them. I use these to accent a scarf or put them on a plain chain as a sassy accent.

Bluebirdheaven.etsy.com has come up with a way to repurpose an old printer's tray and use it to hold jewerly. Genius.
