Fashion Friday- Tie update and A checked blouse for me!

Hello my bloggin buds…I have been so busy making ties lately that I haven’t had much time to blog this week! In case you missed my announcement …I started my own little tie company.
Fresh Picked Ties!!They are ties for little guys.
Super cute fabrics all 100% cotton and fully lined with a Velcro closure….little boys are LOVING them!
I need your help…which of these prints do you like the best? There are nine in the picture so you can just say # 4 is my fav or # 6. Thanks a bunch!
So I was shopping at banana outlet with daughter for my Mother’s Day present and saw this cute blouse on clearance and snatched it up. I love it…it has a stretch to it and it seems to be cut shorter through the torso..perfect for a short waisted gal like ME! I also found these yellow skinny jeans there too!
I don’t usually wear a lot of navy but this just looks so springy to me. I have always loved white sneakers ever since I was a kid..I found these at target…I think?? When I lived in So. Cal in the early 70’s (oh that seems like forever ago) ..my friends and I wanted boat shoes or deck shoes….so we e saved our babysitting money and rode our bikes to Fashion Island and bought them at JCPennys! Oh gosh loved wearing them! We thought we were so cool LOL
Just some simple earrings to accessorize and I am ready for the day!
Well my friends this is the end of my sewing break…..I gotta get back to making more ties..don’t forget to vote for your favorite…oh and if you would like to purchase one…they are $10.50 ea plus 3.50 for shipping and handling. Just leave me a message with your email or you can buy one through my Etsy shop. I have more prints for sale in my shop.
These silly pics are for my grandkids…..crazy grandma 🙂
TA TA For Now…

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
