Just a quick fabric studded cuff I whipped up to wear to the MGMT concert tonight. I like the contrast of the small polka-dot fabric to the diamond studs. Girlie punk. Like me.

I posted before about this book wreath from Living With Lindsay, which I think is elegantly beautiful.

A few months ago I was lucky enough to find many old books at a yard sale for 25 cents each, so I decided to make one of my own. It took almost 100 pages, but was certainly worth the time! I also added a pearled tassel ornament from the bottom.

The tutorial given is quite helpful and I didn’t really make any changes to it. I used a book from 1936, so I did not need to faux the antiqued pages edges- however, the old pages were brittle, and were more likely to crease and fold instead of curl into ruffles. The use of a new book may be easier from that part.

This pretty lamp made from spindles is on Shanty2Chic, with a complete tutorial. The bows!
