Remember when I posted about a spring wardrobe inspired by this Jackie Morris illustration of briars, brambles, and birds?
Check out this scarf from Ten Thousand Villages.
Don't you think it's a similar vibe? Maybe I'll call it the Lost Words scarf. It's probably the last I'll ever have from Ten Thousand Villages, since the Canadian stores are shutting down soon. (They were planning to do that anyway before the pandemic.)
Our local thrift store, along with others, has started posting items for sale on Instagram, and delivering them to your door. They offered a pair of off-white wide-leg "cropped pants" in my size, and I decided to buy them. They do fit fine, in the upper parts. Only...they're not only not cropped...
they're even longer than my normal-length pants!
Yeah. So not everything is perfect.
Have I ever mentioned that I'm scared to death of hemming pants? It's not the sewing--I know that part is pretty straightforward. It's the measuring and the pinning...and the cutting. My favourite place to get things shortened is, I assume, not doing them right now. Although I could always phone and plead.
I may have to bite that bullet and do it myself. But Mr. Fixit says he will help.
Winding up tomorrow.
