It’s a Weekend
Pretty new Bon Bon Soaps from Mireio. Just $5 for a set of 3, they make a perfect little gift!
Where did the week go? I know I’ve been busy in the studio and my much neglected yard and attempting to slim down for a late summer wedding. And, that sums up my weekend plans as well!
Before I dash off to dig up flower beds, there are a few new items in Mireio. I hope you’ll take a peek. It’s the perfect time to be thinking about Mother’s Day and, of course, Wedding Season is upon us. Mireio is a great place to shop for all those beautiful women in your life—and if you need something specific, don’t hesitate to ask. I love custom orders and as always, every Mireio order ships promptly and beautifully wrapped. Like these soaps!
Vintage Glassware Candles Return
Framboise Noire Set of Vintage Glassware Votives. $18
Vintage Glassware Candles:
In very, very limited quantities, Mireio’s line of Vintage Glassware Candles is back. Only as I find suitable glassware and in hand-selected fragrances. I am not planning a full launch of these candles, so if you see something you love, please shop early.
Lingerie Bag
Magic Carpet Ride Lingerie Bag: One of a Kind Exclusively at Mireio
Lingerie Bags as Art!
I’ve been busy in the studio… and here’s why! I’ve been creating, one of a kind Lingerie bags from vintage textiles and notions. Each on is unique, just like you. And they’re perfect for protecting your hand-dyed vintage slips while traveling. Or, use as a “just in case” bag —because you never know when you’re going to swept off for a romantic night out!
This is the first! I hope to have more soon…these are individual works of art and as such I’m working on them one at a time.
Have an idea or a “vibe” you’d like to see in a bag? Let me know!
Right Pattern–Wrong Fabric
One of many, many promo stills from today’s attempt. It’s probably obvious, but I’ll say it anyhow—it’s HARD to take your own picture.
Yay! I finished my dress project. The pattern is very straight forward and I’ll definitely be using it again… just with much better fabric. The whole point of the exercise was to mock up this pattern, so I shouldn’t have had any expectations of $2 a yard fabric. But honestly? I can’t imagine any project where this fabric would be a good idea. It stretches out so fast, that my very minimal bustline was already doing a number on the neck-line. I think it needs a belt, but opted not to go any further, since it’s clear the fabric isn’t going to hold up. I like the color. And I love the drape. And Jack assures me, that despite photographic evidence to the contrary, I do NOT look 5 months pregnant in real life wearing this dress. I’m going to choose to believe him and try a better knit fabric for the next attempt.
I got all dolled up for these photos because I needed a promo still for an article that might be running about Mireio soon? Alas, I went with a different shot, because this dress… wow.
