Hello Hello!

Ah, finally dusted off the virtual shelves in my shop, Hello My Friend. Feels nice to reopen for business. Please drop by and say hello!

Some new things

I'm finally re-opening my online shop very soon. Despite the disparate fabrics, here are a few things I thought complimented each other "pattern-wise." I'll update when new things are posted, but please drop by Hello My Friend anytime. Thanks! :)

Fuzzy memories

My recent mohair allergy has me clearing out my fuzzy, rabbity pieces. Unfortunately I'm forced to sell my Margiela Collection 6 grunge sweater. I really love this piece and am very sad to part with it. I've edited my closet down to favorite essentials, and loved items, so this parting bums me out. I've been a huge fan of Margiela since I first laid eyes on his tabi boots. My tiny collection of his stuff has been treasured.

My loss is your gain.... Available in my shop.

Cuties of note

Saying hello and goodbye to a few cuties today....

Goodbye to the apple and panda beaded coin purse necklaces I posted in my shop. I'm elated they're moving onto a lucky buyer, but am a bit nostalgic of this style period in my life. We've had some good times you two!


And hello to musician James Yuill. I've got KCRW full blast, and listening to his set. I declare this song Monday's jam!
