Appliqué Your Way October 16, 2009

I am so excited about the new book by Kayte Terry,  Applique’ Your Way!

My New Favorite Craft Book

I am a big fan of Applique’ and am always looking for new ideas. This book has 35 great projects. Usually you find ideas about applique’ in quilt books but this book offers great ideas for clothes, shoes, pillows, dog blanket, coasters, and much more. I just got mine in the mail; the photographs and layout are wonderful. I know I am going to have to give a few of these away for gifts.

Kayte Terry has a wonderful blog that I love to check out weekly called Love Forever. I became a fan of hers after my sister gave me her book Complete Embellishing for Christmas.

Always try to buy your books locally if you can. I am going to try to talk Jenny into carrying it at Nested.

Walk Carrboro was featured on Carolina Weekend this past weekend, including a snippet interview with Kara.

I Spy Something Red, Day 2 April 29, 2009

This is the perfect time of year for a great scarf. You can tie on in your hair, to keep the wind off as you travel around town, you can add one around  your waist to give that summer dress added color, you can drape it over your lamp in the evening for ambiance, and you can use it to wrap up a special gift.

Come in and check out our scarves. Mention this post and get 20% off any scarf!

Our newest favorite February 26, 2009

I absolutely love this dress. You can never go wrong with lace and roses.  The pattern just makes me think of spring, hill tops, and picnics. This would be a great dress for a romantic afternoon filled with champagne, strawberries, and your favorite old cowboy boots.

You can check it out on our etsy site today!

Love, Rebecca

Fashion Contest! August 6, 2008

We are really excited about our Anniversary Party this Friday, 8/8/08. 7-11 pm. We hope to see everyone there! Our first ever Roulette Vintage fashion contest will be the highlight!

The categories are:
Best Roulette Vintage outfit (major piece bought at roulette)
Best Vintage outfit (doesn’t have to be bought at Roulette)
Best Roulette DIY outfit (wear a locally made designer from Roulette)
Best outfit you made yourself

We’re so excited to see what y’all come up with!
Don’t be shy, you can dress up and not compete too! Or you can come in casual.

Our judges for the evening will be…

the lovely Jessica Potter, who can wear vintage every day for any occasion and to sleep in too. We call her vintage-extraordinare, like a super hero of vintage.

and Michelle Temple, red-hot rock star of Black Skies. She is this summer’s website model. She is also a DIY goddess, who can make scraps of a tee look like a top, dress or skirt, no sewing involved.

The winners of the fashion contest will receive prizes and be featured on our website!
