Hello friends! I've been having a few site issues the past few days, so apologies for the lack of posts this week. The site was still good to go on the front end, but the back end was a big, hot mess :) My Mother's Attic will be up shortly and this weekend will be full of new content!
Thanks for being awesome and Happy Weekend/Breaking Bad finale!!

Happy 4th of July!!!
I made a fun tie dye satchel to commemorate the holiday! Full rundown of steps to follow this evening along with fun photos of the day.
May all of you have a day full of family, friends, and BBQ!!
On one of my garage sale stops I came across this "Campus Casuals of California" blouse. Trés 1984. When I saw this top, I immediately thought it could be something found in stores now. I have a royal blue version (ruffles, uncomfortable crepe material) that I got at H&M last year and it's one of my favorites. Not as comfy as it looks, but we all pay a price for fashion, right?
There were a batch of boxes in somebody's driveway full of mostly men's clothing which I almost walked by but then, from the corner of my eye I saw it. A little glimpse of mauve peeking its way through Fubu sweatshirts and Old Navy carpenter jeans. (PS, I did not grab those my friends - I don't even think I can even make carpenter jeans work!!) There it was...my little diamond in the rough. Now, there were a few buttons missing - of course one happened to be set right between the boobs and the other was on one of the sleeves - and a slight tear on the seam in the armpit area.
A quick hand mending of the tear made it virtually impossible to see that it ever existed and a simple safety pin was used in lieu of the boob button. I didn't even replace the one missing from the sleeve. Totes obsessed with how easy it was to tweak and make right!
