So, I am not a brooch-wearer, but I thought this idea I found on this month's issue of
Country Living was really sweet... Why not turn those vintage brooches and pins into refrigerator magnets? I love it. For easy, step-by-step instructions, click
here. I have a feeling my blog friend
Celia would like this brooch idea... (Have you guys met, btw? You should hop on over to
her blog just to see how very cool and funny that woman is!)
And this beer sweater? Can you say cute?? (And can you tell I'm ready for cooler weather?? I'm lusting after
bottles with sweaters, people.) Anyway, I just couldn't resist it.... It's the work of NC artist Zach Crain, made of reclaimed sweaters, so each one is different. You can find it
here.

Okay, LOOOOVVVVE the bottle sweater (this from the gal who knitted coffee-cup holders one year -- I'll knit you one!). And the brooch idea. And that you spelled brooch right. What a weird word!
ReplyDeleteThis is the part where I tell you that the yarn just arrived for my washcloth knitting project:

and remind you that those guys are my favorite crafty blog...and that you need these washcloths.
My heart sank and jumped at the same time when I saw that photo in CL because I've been doing it for years. I felt like someone had taken away one of my "good ideas" but also proud that one of my ideas was in a magazine. I probably certainly am not the first person to have that idea, but I like to pretend I am...
ReplyDeletelove, love the vintage brooch magnets....so very sweet! xo
