whimsical wednesday :: piper and paisley

Piper and Paisley
bad hair day = good hat
"Way back in 2007, Piper and Paisley was born out of the basement of a teeny little house in Missoula, Montana.  I am a hat girl. Always have been.  When we decided to grow a family, I really couldn't justify my hat habit any longer, but I had the "new-mom-always-looks-like-a-truck-just-hit-her" look goin' on, and I really needed something to make me look a little more on my game.  So I made some hats.  Then I sold some hats.  Now here I am.
Piper and Paisley hats are all made by me.  I draft all of my patterns by hand, and adjust them for the best fit."

fashion friday :: mended mosaic

Mended Mosaic
founded in 2008 by Chicago natives KC and Louie Mendicino.
For years, KC sat behind the hum of a sewing machine, with the
assistance of her greatest mentor - her mother.  
Beginning creations were small vests for festivals, corsets, then 
bellydancing costuming, pants, and more. When KC and Louie 
met, he put his handiwork to the needle as well. After an
overwhelming response to their handmade wares, they launched 
their creativity into the bigger picture.
