Craft Night: Chain Maille

Hey Lovelies,

So tonight I decided I was going to have a personal Craft Night. I wanted to learn something I didn't know how to do so I decided how to teach myself how to do Chain Maille.

What is Chain Maille?
Chainmaille (also known as chainmail, or simply maille) is typically armor or jewelry made by connecting metal rings to one another. The word maille derives from the French word maille (mesh), which comes from Latin macula (mesh of a net). Creating something out of maille involves a few steps:

• Wrap metal wire around a rod to make a coil.
• Cut the coil, creating individual "jump rings."
• Using pliers, link the rings—one at a time—into a pattern.

Now that you kinda now what I'm talking about I hope you can enjoy the pictures from my adventure.

Let's Learn about Chain Maille

Music Break: Thriller

Hello My Lovelies,

Halloween is upon us and I'm finally getting into the spirit. My dear friend, Brandon Smith of B. Smith Designs, posted this video on Facebook today and it truly put a smile on my face.

Michael Jackson's Thriller used to scare the mess out of me when I was a little girl but I still expect to hear the song every year. It is the SPIRIT of Halloween.

This video is beyond awesome and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.



Blissfully,

Introducing Eternal Bloom Brooch

Ok, I have been getting plenty of questions about when I was going to finally start selling my flower pins that I get so many compliments on so here they are.

Here's the thing though. I hand sew these flowers out of whatever fabric I come across. Which means once it's gone, it's gone.

Each picture will represent ONE (1) flower, unless otherwise noted in the description. I'll post some pictures with me wearing them so you can get an idea for size.

They are $7 each.

Thanks guys

Blissfully,

P.S You're Lovely

Vintage-spiration

Hello My Lovelies,

I hope you all have had a wonderful week. I'm on cloud nine as I finish packing for my FIRST cruise tomorrow. I wanted to share a little bit about myself with all of you so here we go. I consider myself a vintage girl with a love of the Hollywood stars of the 1920s-1960s-ish. I pull my inspiration for style, class, and life from so many wonderful people and things of these times.

Today's Vintage-spiration comes from my absolute favorite actress, style icon, and all around amazing person, Miss Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face. As I'm packing I'm watching Funny Face with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire and I just wanted to share some of my fav pics from the movie. Enjoy.

I wish I could have been around during her day!

She's just so cute. Classic in every way.

Love the full tulle skirt!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! See ya next Monday.

P.S. Here's a little song... "On How to Be Lovely"



Blissfully,

P.S You're Lovely
