Tacks 'n Bits, an Etsy treasury

Well I sat down at the computer this morning and promptly fell down the rabbit hole of Etsy. This collection of neutrally gray goodies came together quite nicely if I do say so myself. But after I sent out messages to all the lovely sellers included I realized I had called it a "Tuesday list" and it's Wednesday! Since its lookin' like it's "one of those days" I'm off to scavenge another cuppa caffeine.

Grey Garden

Smock de Meule by Mother

When dreary weather calls for inspiration it's time to make a treasury! The fabulous Yokoo opened her new shop, Mother, earlier this week so I had to include my latest object of desire--the Smock de Meule. I don't think I've ever considered wearing a smock before but now I have this insatiable urge to wear this one. If I owned it I think I might wear it every day...it would become my uniform of sorts. Let's just say I love Mother! Oh...and be sure to take a look at my entire treasury, Grey Garden.

Embroidery Brooches

Remember this old French embroidery book I shared with you a while back? I finally did something with it and created a handful of brooches embellished with snippets from its pages. Some are square and some round--you can take a closer look at 'em right here.

Objects of Gray

The sky has been gray and the weather rainy for two looooong days. More rainy days are in the forecast so I found myself scouting around on Etsy for objects of gray to share with you today. Have I ever mentioned that I have a thing for buttons? This card of floral beauties is available at jawwadel, $12.00.

Of all the sewing machines on Etsy--talk about a sculptural object! (bellalulu, $48.00)

Yes, I realize it's white but the photo is grayish and I've had my eye on this voluptuous object for some time. One of the amazing finds at bluebellbazaar, $69.00.

Simply beautiful. (gypsyscaravan9, $15.50)

Never would have guessed these were fishing net buoys had I come across a pile of them. I do know they are crazy cool objects. (stilettogirl, $10.00)

And....of course I had to find an umbrella to finish off this theme of gray. (HazeyJaneVintage, $28.00)
