oh so pretty!
















I love each of these DIY accessory projects from Martha Stewart.  What a
lovely way to update your next outfit!  Take something that has been in your
jewelry box and give it new life.  I think my favorite is the vintage brooch
necklace - I Die!

I contacted Tania from indobay inc a month ago to ask her about making some 
of her beautiful felt banners for Bella Vita.  They arrived this week and they are 
lovely!  I also LOVE the packaging.  You get white hemp twine and the cutest 
mini clothes pins to arrange your banner any way you like.  Thanks Tania for 
being so wonderful to work with.  I look forward to working with you in the 
near future.  Happy Holidays!
