I’ve been hard at work developing new products for the Bouquet shop on Etsy, and I’m so excited about our two latest releases that I thought I’d pop up a blog post all about them! After a few months of wanting to bring some everyday accessories to the shop, I’m happy to tell you that we now have bandana scarves and scrunchies in stock in the shop! Yes, you read that correctly, scrunchies like it’s 1997!

DIY Summer Top (From a Free Pattern!)
I’m all about white lace when summer hits, and this year I had the urge to make a lightweight top. I found the prettiest embroidered fabric at Joann Fabrics & Crafts, and adapted a free download from Colette Patterns to be my perfect summer blouse.

The embroidered fabric means there is no hemming involved making this a quick and easy project– perfect for a beginner sewist!

Summer Style Wishlist
The change of seasons is always a time for me to reevaluate my wardrobe and my style, looking for any gaps I want to fill or items to pass on. Of course this process naturally leads to a teensy bit of retail therapy, and I thought it would be fun to share my current shopping list with you. I try to keep my wardrobe minimal and classic, but I definitely like to leave room for fun and special pieces, especially if they feature a floral print. Read on to see what’s on my list this summer!
