This week’s thrifted and handmade post features one of my handmade birthday presents from my parents. They have great taste and know their little lady all to well.<\/span><\/div>\n

It seems that my parents were really listening at our mother’s day brunch as I told them of my favorite places to shop in Providence. They made a few stops in the city to get me some amazing birthday loot.<\/span><\/div>\n

This headband, while not a birthday present, was a perfect match. I adore <\/span>The Candy Thief<\/span><\/a>, her designs are adorable, detailed and so well made. Casey has really mastered her craft. And her work always gets me lots of compliments, when we do shows together I am often referring customers to her table so they can shop for a headband just as lovely as mine. <\/span><\/div>\n

My parents careful listening took them to <\/span>Kreatelier<\/span><\/a> where they found this shirt that I almost bought the very same week they visited. Instead, I kept to my vow to just buy a present for my cousin’s first birthday and I’m glad I did! They also got me some vegetable seeds I need to get into a pot soon. <\/span>Kreatelier<\/span><\/a> carries these lovely little seed strips put together by the Rhode Island School for the Deaf. We are going to have some tasty salad in a few months.<\/span><\/div>\n

Doesn’t this shirt go so well with their planting theme? <\/span><\/div>\n

[I was sad to learn that this lovely shirt by paper cloud is the last of its kind. When I looked for a shop link to send my lovely readers to it stated that the shop had closed.] <\/span><\/div>\n

And here’s the thrifted part. I found this skirt above at a thrift shop. I was so delighted, it is the same style as one of my favorite skirts from American Eagle circa 2004. I had the flowered version and was pleasantly surprised to come across this pink one. There is something about this fabric that I love. It is soft and relaxed while the texture reminds me of curtains my grandmother had. I’m sure you can tell I find it comforting as well as comfortable.<\/span><\/div>\n

As I didn’t want to compete with the lovely headband I chose a simple pair of <\/span>earrings<\/span><\/a> from my own jewelry line. I strayed from my usual choice of oxidized earrings and decided to add some shimmer to my get up with these <\/span>moon post earrings<\/span><\/a>. The texture gives off a dazzling reflection of light.<\/span><\/div>\n

Here’s the whole ensemble with my fancy new <\/span>iPhone case<\/span><\/a>. Another birthday present from husband. He too knows me all to well. I admire <\/span>Shepard Fairey<\/span><\/a> and this is one of my favorite designs. <\/span><\/div>\n

We can’t forget the shoes, I heart danskos. These are my favorite sandals and have been for at least seven years. <\/span><\/div>\n
