what she really wants...

nellie knows what she wants and what she wants is 'chickens in the backyard' but alas nellie doesn't have a backyard to call her own. she lives in the city in a high rise block and dreams of life on the farm. on the weekends nellie discards her conservative office clothing and dons her apron skirt along with a sweet cardi, headscarf and bashed up biker boots. she pulls her patchwork vintage drapes over the window to shut out the world, settles herself down on a midcentury modern couch and watches re-runs of 'little house on the prairie'...some may say nellie is a dreamer, but nellie just shrugs her shoulders and says "at least i know what i want"

this sweet apron skirt is upcycled from

a cotton thriftstore slip (dyed a pretty soft tealy seafoam color)

an antique traycloth

a thrifted cotton blouse

an antique collar

a vintage lace doily

a button

scraps of fabric

and

vintage lace

you can find nellie in my little store

she's wishing you a lovely spring weekend (ever hopeful) ~ Tif
