THREADS - AT HOME COZY + GIVEAWAY WINNERS

I thought it would be fun to do a simple outfit post on a lounging day.  A day spent working from home and being cozy.  Im cold by nature, so even this slight cool front that has come through the past few days, I have been wearing sweaters.  I love this one from chicnova b/c its like crochet, so even though its a sweater, its still breezy with the holes.  A perfect transitional sweater for fall.  I love loose baggy sweaters, and this one fits the bill! I wore my favorite and most cozy wide leg pants that were gifted to me by my bestie years back.  And a beanie my friend made me.  It was really cold enough to be wearing a beanie indoors, but some days little comfort things like this are just that, comforting.  It feels nice to wear something snuggly that a dear friend made me.  This friend I speak of was my childhood best friend.  We were inseparable.  She just had her second baby, and he is so very sweet.  She sells amazingly adorable cloth diapers on etsy, and one day when we have a little one, she will be making me some customs one, eeek!

As promised, here are all of the winners for the past 3 giveaways!!!  If you see your name below, please email me at violet_bella {at} hotmail {dot} com to claim your prize!  Congrats to the winners, and thank you to everyone who entered!

THREADS - HANDMADE STYLE

Im so happy the weather has cooled down enough for me to wear these awesome pants from Mountain Girl Clothing.  Ive had them for a while now, but got them in the middle of summer and they were just way too hot.  I love Margaret's work and these are no exception!  And this is the first Poor Pitiful Pearl top I ever got, and is still my favorite piece in my closet from Shauna.  I think these two make the perfect combo.  You might remember this beautiful fringed purse from this outfit.  It's from Lost Boys and Lovers, another true favorite.  The oh so pretty headband is from Spirit Y Sol.  It was a piece from the latest Bohemian Collective lookbook. And last but definitely not least, this handmade medicine pouch from Vision Wise.  Lauren is a sweet heart sister of mine and she made this for me with special stones and medicine for some things Im working through.  I keep it next to my bed when I am not wearing it.  Lauren is the one who runs the Intuitive Heart Sanctuary which I am a part of.  Lots of soul there.  Being in this community of artists sets my heart ablaze.  I love having creative friends I can trade goodies with, and support as well. 

This post is being pre-written right now.  As you are reading this, I am most likely in my backyard spending time with a dear sweet friend of mine whom I haven't seen in a while.  Im savoring every sweet moment.  I will be back monday with yet another amazing giveaway!  And Ill announce the winners for the Chicnova giveaway and the Crochet Headwrap giveaway!
