Frayed flowers have been on my mind all winter, You will see more cut fabric flowers with rosettes, of vintage fabrics ( of course ) and amazing fripperies!

More designs to come for spring/summer 2010! Will be listing new items each week. This year there will be more limited numbers, due to the most amazing vintage elements Incorporated into each design.
