Imagine waking up each morning with the smell of crisp clean air blowing
through the windows of a magnificent Villa dating back to the XVII
century. Throughout your retreat you will experience true Italian
hospitality with daily room service, a rich continental breakfast each
morning, and an on site concierge. The luxurious villa is surrounded by
hundreds of acres of vineyards and has a private tasting room on the
estate. As attendees of the Light and Fire retreat you will have the
opportunity to visit and learn about the history of one of Tuscany’s
most respected and successful wine making families. A complimentary wine
tasting will be yours to experience with the option of having some
delivered back to you at the villa for later enjoyment or make
arrangements to have some shipped back home. The choice is yours!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; text-align: start;" />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;">Each
day will be woven together with rich Italian culture through exploring
new places, culinary and creative workshops, including a class with one
of Florence’s top jewelry designers! The Villa is centrally located ,
Florence airport is just 12 miles away ! </span><br />

waiting for you upon your arrival that are sure to delight your very
soul! We’re so excited we can hardly stand it ! We know first hand the
life changing moments that can take place at these retreats. Each and
every woman who attends will no doubt leave with a renewed sense of how
incredibly unique and beautiful she really is. We not only want our
attendees to fall in love with the beauty of Italy but to fall back in
love with the woman they see in the mirror each day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;">She
is full of light, yes bright light! Even when the loud noises of life
try to drown out her beauty she is still full of a beautiful bright
light. We will encourage you throughout your week with inspirational
moments to let your light shine! She is also full of a bright Flame.
One that burns within her to become everything she was always destined
to be. She is an artist, a creator of all things beautiful. We will
inspire you through our one of a kind workshops to nurture your Fire of

I have been collecting vintage flocked fabrics for over 30 years, I adore the Swiss dot fabrics and the sweet tiny florals. I am downsizing my collections and have decided to sell these fabrics. I spent a lovely afternoon trimming, ironing, and fluffing while I listened to Pandora and the fabric bundles are all ready and in the shop tonight. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This aqua and pink collection is the sweetest, these lovely flocked
sheer fabrics are amazing! From the 1950s these fabrics were used for
ladies aprons, little girl Sunday dresses, one even had the original tag
pinned on still that said F.W. Woolworth Co. $1.98 Washable Needs No
Ironing. thank goodness!<br />

This collection has the most beautiful flocked florals and the yellow fabric with the sweet bows is just charming! My mother made me and my 4 sisters Sunday dresses and clothes for our dolls with these treasures... how I love those memories~ petticoats, white lace tights and patent leather shoes...<br />

Lavender is still one of my favorite colors for little girls, add a bit of mint green and pale yellow and you have the perfect summer collection. These prints are perfect for little dolly dresses. One of my customers in Spain made a little quilt with some of my vintage fabrics. Oh and those vintage gold stork scissors are a bit worn but the new favorite on my desk. Who knew they would be so very sharp and cut so nicely through silk ribbons.<br />

Then there is the yellow and aqua collection, these soft sheer fabrics have gorgeous flocking and the most subtle patterns. Bundles include 8 fabrics measuring approx 11 X 8 inches. I do have a couple double bundles available that measure 22 X 8 inches if you are needing a bit more fabric for ruffles...<br />

I dyed a new batch of pink silk velvet for this collection and couldn't stop mixing colors. Love how these mushrooms turned out. The colors range from mauve pink to a coral pink. Let me know if you have a special request, always happy to dye some new colors of velvet. Happy Spring! Julie<br />

my velvet obsession continues... all the velvet hearts are ready for the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/juliecollings" target="_blank">shop</a> update tomorrow.<br />
<br />
I have been sewing silk velvet hearts for days now, I love how they feel in my hands. I love the subtle way the light plays on the velvet and how the vintage millinery flowers look so delicate against he soft colors.<br />
<br />
This colors of the pink and taupe collection are so romantic, the perfect love token. Made with dyed silk velvet, vintage millinery flowers and ribbons. Each one sewn by hand and filled with a bit of Valentine magic.<br />

All the mushrooms are in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/juliecollings" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> this morning. My favorite
collections~ Ghost, Earth, Acid Green and Plum Pudding. Might just take
myself out to lunch to celebrate!<br />
<br />
I have been working on several fall color collections and custom orders. So happy with how they have all turned out! <br />
Here are a few~<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0GRid0SAblo/WbFn3InfI9I/AAAAAAAAFOo/7NvnqreSPHsTf-cu3AsbtafOiVj-unRuwCLcBGAs/s1600/fallinsta.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1589" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0GRid0SAblo/WbFn3InfI9I/AAAAAAAAFOo/7NvnqreSPHsTf-cu3AsbtafOiVj-unRuwCLcBGAs/s640/fallinsta.jpg" width="634" /></a></div>
<br />
These are the fall flames. And this collection of earth mushrooms, love the deep bronze. The tallest mushroom has such cool variations in the velvet colors.<br />
<br />

<br />
I call this collection Plum Pudding. Those two mushrooms on the right look downright tasty...no?<br />
<br />

I have had so many custom orders for pink mushrooms that I ended up taking a break from mushroom making just to dye a new batch of pink silk velvet. <br />
somehow I got a hole in my glove and my hand turned PINK! luckily it was mostly my pinky,<br />
but what a pink pinky it was!<br />
small price to pay as the velvets turned out gorgeous and now I have a great collection of gorgeous pinks to choose from although already I am feeling drawn to the colors of an autumn woodland~<br />
copper, moss, saffron, grey, and teal. can't wait to make some more darkest black ones again...<br />
they are positively spooky!<br />
here is some of the pink velvet I dyed~<br />
see you in the shop on Monday,<br />
Julie<br />

I have loved making these needle felted wool hearts this year. It seems I am always drawn to the soft pinks and cream wools with the vintage blossoms. This little box is one of my favorites.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
A few of these hearts were custom requests, the rest went in the shop today. This little blue heart with the vintage glass garland beads turned out so sweet. <br />

this collection of pinks was so fun to make and send out. One of the pink ones went to a customers mother that loved making things by hand and is now living in a care center.<br />

<br />
Sometimes there is a little heart that is so sweet I decide to keep I for a while. These cream hearts just looked so beautiful in my little milk glass bowl.<br />

<br />
such a lovely holiday weekend for making mushroom ornaments! this is a new design I have been working on with needle felted wool wired stems and silk velvet mushroom caps. The hand dyed velvet has such a beautiful color variation that shows off so well on the mushroom caps.<br />
<br />

I love these new shapes and how the stems can bend. The gills are made with one of my hand dyed crepe paper ruffles. here is a close up to see the paper folding and stitching~<br />

needle felted hearts in the shop today, just in time for Valentines day.<br />

the straw stems of this multi colored posy is so fun. and I adore the sweet curled stem on this little heart. Each Valentine heart is handmade and one of a kind and will be packaged in a little box for gift giving or keeping. vintage valentine hearts measures approx. 2-1/2 inches tall and 2-1/4 inches wide. sweet dreams....<br />

I have had such fun this week needle felting these tiny chicks. The little curly top baby just makes me laugh and dads top hat is looking dapper for sure. I'm thinking I might take off the tinsel and add a bow tie instead...<br />

So many reasons to celebrate!<br />
Mom turned 80, graduation next week, and Hannah has a birthday right around the corner.<br />
May has been such a beautiful month. I have had the idea to make these little birthday lambs for a bit now. Finally sat down and made them.<br />

couldn't resist a little pink party hat lamb. For the hat I used some pretty party tissue with some glitter trim. The crepe paper collar is only 1/2 inch wide folded in half and a piece of pink tulle is tied in a little bow. In the shop while they last...<br />

<br />
Every Valentines Day it seems I can't resist sitting down to sew up a
few sweet hearts. This year I started out with a bowl of cream and red
wool hearts and a gorgeous box of vintage millinery flowers. After a
perfectly luxurious afternoon of stitching I snapped a few photos of
them all together.<br />
<br />
