...have you ever met a seaweed farmer??

...hello there ~

may i present to all you fabulous,
supportive readers,
my new friend: cecil




cecil,
these are all my dear readers...

* cecil says  "enchanting to meet you all!"




he is my new sea silk ribbon foreman!
he will be a great help!!

as harvesting all those luscious ribbons is quite time consuming
although sooo very worth it :)




i knew when i saw an ad in the daily sea times,
for a seaweed farmer looking for work.
(looks like us land creatures aren't the only ones just trying to earn an honest days wage!!)

anyhoo,
as i was sayin'

i saw his ad
and knew right away,
he was a perfect fit:)




so i contacted him with my proposal
and he was more than delighted for a career change!

* i adore his tiny crown

* i gave it to him as a welcome gift
with the promise that he may come and go freely to the beautiful sea

...just as long as he let's me come along!!

* he happily agreed

* he also changed the spelling of his name to * seacil *

* he figured now that he was working with silks, it just sounded a little more elegant!

* i think it sounds the same, but i humor him and tell him it's fabulous!!




he has been helping me create a few new pieces in the studio this week

pretties to wear to the sea...




but first,
seacil wanted to show you his new bed

it's a bed of sea silks of course!!

* i love that he is so easily entertained!

here is a lovely cuff braclet
that i shall wear on my birthday...




i found the silver Rumi focal piece at

i am charmed by what it reads...




i dyed some silk in a muted sea rose shade
and sewed freshwater pearls and sequins in the same shades...




they remind me of sand bubbles...




what do you think?




very often,
i find a really lovely item
that i can embellish a little further
so that it becomes my very own
and a one of a kind...




i actually dyed my cuff ribbons to match this jacket
because at the sea,
it is breezy
and find i almost always need a pretty little something to wear extra




love, Love, LOVE the scalloped collar
and the ruffled edge pockets...




i added this ruffle peplum to the back...

for that little something extra.




 i used a vintage slip

* it was just how i envisioned it!

* i also tried ironing this jacket

* and steaming it!!

* i even bought special ironing spray
IT * DID * NOT * WORK

* did i mention i ironed this??!

so,
i have come to accept the wrinkles...

 besides, i figure
if every one else is busy looking at my jacket wrinkles,
they probably won't notice mine!

* i have come to accept those too

* seacil says i don't have any!!

* ahhh, seasil, you already got the job!!
LOL!!




the rosettes with freshwater pearl centers
are like icing on the cake:)




i can't wait to wear my new pretties!

and seacil says
he'll show me a most tasty restaurant by the sea to wear it to after a day at the beach!

* thanks seacil!
i just know we are going to the best of friends!!

I adore Cecil (Seacil)...and that beautiful sea of ribbon...LOVE the cuff bracelet...and the jacket was breathtaking from the front but then you went ahead and added that ruffled peplum to the back taking it to another level. So beautiful!
