Evie's Tea Room: March 2014

http://eviestearoom.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

You don't need a giant venue, seating for 200 or even cake (Well, everyone wants cake) to celebrate a birthday! To quote The Beatles, all you need is love. OOTD: Flowers, Glass and Bronchitis. I thought I'd do a quick little outfit post. Nothing special, but at least it's something! When warmer weather rolls around, I want to be out more and take pictures. I also want to take outfit pictures without a coat on! Blouse, Skirt and Coat: Forever21. Shoes: Thrifted (March purchases! Stay warm and hopeful!

Evie's Tea Room: Vintage Patterns: To Tape or Not to Tape

http://eviestearoom.blogspot.com/2015/02/vintage-patterns-to-tape-or-not-to-tape.html

Vintage Patterns: To Tape or Not to Tape. I wonder, when you see old sewing patterns that have tears and are dangling in pieces like a well-loved rag doll, do you wish they had been taped to prevent further wear? Or should they be left alone, kept pure, even if it means an unusable pattern? As an owner of an Etsy shop, selling vintage patterns, in rough shape or not, I am not sure what to do when it comes to this issue. What do you prefer? So, have you struggled with this or had this predicament? Good lu...

Evie's Tea Room: Lately I Love: 1930's Embroidered Ladies

http://eviestearoom.blogspot.com/2015/07/lately-i-love-1930s-embroidered-ladies.html

Lately I Love: 1930's Embroidered Ladies. Something I've been completely enamored with as of late, are these adorable embroidered and often hand-tinted or appliqued ladies. Recently, I was at an antique shop and saw some lovely embroidered and embellished pillows with faces or silhouettes of beautiful ladies on them. I have always enjoyed sketching female faces and portraits. Add that to my love of embroidery and you have extreme inspiration! I have started one of my own, which is pictured first. Stitche...

Outfit: The Kitty Brooch. Blouse, Skirt and Headband: Forever21. Kitty Brooch: Rummage Sale. Labels: black and white. My Shelagh Turner Inspired Outfit. I just thought I'd share a lovely outfit I wore last weekend while shopping! Which created a wonderful swirly effect on the skirt. The colors in this outfit are also very Shelagh; the muddy brown cardigan and skirt, creamy yellow blouse and rusty tone in the oxford heels. So, without further ado, here is the Shelagh ensemble! Blouse and Skirt: Forever21.
