MY GYPSY CURTAIN.......................................




I have collected fancy scarves for years...I think a scarf can really complete any outfit.  

The one's shown here are but a few of the one's I actually own.  They have been stored away in a drawer for many a moon so I decided to do something creative with them.


This window is in my studio and it is my spot, so anything goes.....
At the moment they are cobbled together with safety pins....but when I finally get the time and have the curtain finished I will hand stitch it together.

As I was doing this...it brought back wonderful memories of when we had our company and we would have to get all gussied up to entertain at home or a night on the town with clients.

I'm so pleased I saved all of them...I think it turned out pretty sexy....what do you think?

hugs,

Jo

    Your curtain is lovely. Another thing we have in common...scarves. I believe there is nothing better to pull an outfit together...besides a lovely piece of costume jewelry. I have boxes filled with scarves to prove it.

    Oh what a stunning collection! and why wouldn't you hang all this beauty rather than having them folded up in a drawer!
    Absolutely my style - just love it - appeals to the gypsy in me! and you too!

    It sets a mood like inside a gypsy caravan; do you tell fortunes and read palms? Well, it sets that mystical mood.

    As usual I have arrived late for the party
    once again.

    I think the scarves are stunning
    and a wonderful creative addition
    to your space.

    I agree, a crystal ball would
    make an excellent addition to your
    creative parlor.

    Namaste

    You're definitely Channeling your Inner Bohemian GF and you KNOW I'm absolutely LOVING them! You've cobbled them together beautifully... and Inspired me to cobble some Vintage Fabrics together 'til I have the time to hand-sew some new Window Treatments myself! I'm going thru a great Edit and Purge and revamping every room so new Window Treatments are definitely in order!

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
