RE.created: it's october today!

by my count it's been over 2 weeks since my last post, it feels like longer. it's too long, but i was admittedly a lil burned out after all those big projects right in a row, so i've been working on smaller stuff as of late, stuff for a big craft show coming up Thanksgiving weekend. i'm bringing a few things there to the show, but my main attraction will be my scarflettes! i am jumping into fall with both feet, i'm so ready for it, and i love it when it's cool enough to go out wearing a scarflette, it's so easy to complement fall outfits with one, and they are still unique in the fashion world so compliments are plentiful. who doesn't like a random accessory compliment? anyway, if you're unfamiliar, here they are! this is most of what i have done right now, i crochet like 20 of them and then add buttons, it's kind of a hassle to have all the button stuff out all the time so i just group the tasks, anyway, not important. what is important is that i can get just about any color you want, any size, and either use sweet vintage buttons or make buttons out of tons of colors and patterns of fabric!

awhile ago i asked on facebook for a quote about my scarflettes if you already owned one, i got great ones to use during the craft show, and i'll ask one more time and then enter those participants into a drawing for a FREE custom scarflette! so if you have one and would like to be entered please give me a quote on my facebook page!

please excuse the creepiness of the mannequin heads, but i gotta have models ;)

here is kelly sporting a lovely white scarflette complete with vintage pink buttons that perfectly complement her wintery complexion

you can see that a scarflette is ideal not only while wearing a jacket or coat, but also for accessorizing casual shirts on a crisp autumn day!
a small scarflette like this is $20

kelly is seen here with a citrine cowl that is perfect for those blustery winter months, a cowl is larger so it is easier to both fit it under your coat lapel to and up to your chin to cover as much skin as possible! this cowl is made with love and large fabric buttons

a larger cowl like this is $26

some people like to wear their cowls with one of the buttons undone, either at the top or bottom, for a totally new look! the extra scarf lays very nicely at the shoulders, which unfortunately, kelly lacks.

it's so warm and luxurious when you can bundle up this much with one scarf, and no TAILS!

here's kelly again with a green scarflette and vintage green buttons, this is a perfect example of a perfect fall accessory

here's jessie sporting a new color, sequoia, with four, count em FOUR coordinating vintage buttons! this cowl color would match any brown, white, or warm-color coat, and the vintage button collection on the scarf is a real eye-catcher ;)

jessie likes to wear her cowls with the top button undone for maximum luxurious comfort

the best part about these scarves is, ok two best parts- no tails to deal with, and they comform to YOU as you wear them! they are also washable and adorable

jessie's changing up her style with this vivid orange scarflette, complete with brown, cream, and teal fabric buttons. this is the kind of scarf that stands out in a crowd!

this is what i've got done so far, i have about 40 more skeins of yarn waiting, ALL different colors, and about 10 that still need buttons. so i'll be sure to update this page as more become available!
