Treasure Tuesday!

Drum roll please. I am about to introduce to you the most incredible, keel over, amazing sweater you will ever see...

 

Can you say, HOLY SMOKES WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FIND? This little beauty was discovered late one Saturday evening at my place of employment, Planted Earth.Seriously, if you haven't stopped by the adorable little Victorian house on St. Street, now is the time to do so. I found this sweater upstairs in the clothing section, and boy did I whip it off the hanger! Penny, the store owner, (I don't know how she does it, but she KNOWS the history behind each item in her store...amazing) told me that I won't find anything like this. This sweater was made in Hong Kong with each bead carefully hand-sewn on. It's almost to amazing to wear!

DIY: Silhouettes

 1. Select a cute oval shaped frame. The oval shape creates a classic vintage look. I picked these two frames up for a dollar a piece at the local thrift store.

 2. Either stick with the style of the frames, or select a new color. Since the original colors of the frame didn't match my color scheme, I spray painted them with spray paint. I painted the frames outside to be sure that the paint didn't get anywhere it shouldn't.

3. For the actual silhouettes, I browsed the web for pictures of profiles. After finding a profile, print it out and trace it with tracing paper. Tape the piece of tracing paper to black card stock. Take a small pair of scissors and cut out the shape of the profile. After you are finished cutting, take the tracing paper off.

4. Voila! You now have a custom silhouette! I placed a vintage piece of wallpaper in the background to set off the silhouette. It's fun, simple and a adorable project to display on your wall!
