It's Gingham Party Time!

Welcome to a new month of Link-up fun!
This month's theme is GINGHAM.
In a couple of weeks, I'll get all technical about gingham.
(Because I'm a professor and a textile geek and I can't help myself).
(Oh wait. I already did that here. Hey, I'll do it again!)

One is gingham, the other not. Can you tell which?

For now, give me your best shot!

Add your GINGHAM looks here:






This month's theme was inspired by Nancy and Shelbee's The Good Bye/Good-Buy Book series. They are accepting GINGHAM submissions still. See the link for more information.

52 Pick-me-up: Pattern Max

PURCHASED/ PURLOINED/ 

Greetings all! I'm back home after two months and 12,772 miles of road tripping.
This week's theme is Pattern Mixing. You know I how I love to play around with patterns!
Here I'm wearing gingham, stripes, and some leopard.

Get in the mix! Link up!

What's Black and White and Red?

Erin, of Design for Mankind,is hosting another fabulous giveaway: a $500 shopping spree courtesy of Beso. My dream collection includes fur-lined Frye clogs, a great thing for summer, not -- what can I say? I furtively put this together at work and the previews were tiny. I could edit them to something else, but I like them. They're for my imaginary cold stormy summer nights in the north. So there.
To help my giveaway mojo, I'm illustrating SpyGirl in some of the pieces.

That gingham shirt is singing me a sweet siren's song...
