Painted Silk Cushion Covers

I am always looking at expanding my silk collection. This week on DeeBozzz, there will be a new addition. Hand painted silk cushion covers. These are a 13"x13" square, and a fun way to enhance your home decore. The first set added are the same color variations used in my 12"x60: scarves.... Rouge and Sapphire Swirl. They have an invisible zipper for easy removal.

Fashion & Style - New York Times

There is an online video on the New York Times site. Bill Cunningham discusses how popular scarves seem to be, regardless of New York City's summer heat in "On the Street". Watch it... and you may find that Scarves are not just for Fall!

Silk Scarf clips

This Fall 08' I will be adding hand painted silk scarf clips to the DeeBozzz accessory line. They are handcrafted from silk scarves, and are embellished with metallic paint. Here are a couple that I have created so far. They will be up on deebozzz.us, and deebozzz.com this week!

A Little Reinvetion....

So I have many scarves (yes... really), and I have always wondered... what else can I do with them? I was at the Chapters Bookstore, in Brampton, On. I came across this wonderful book: 99 Way To Cut Your Scarf.

Can I say FABULOUS??!! I got a creative burst of energy, and made this halter top out of my hand painted Rouge silk charmeuse shawl. It fits sizes small to medium. I will have it on my sites, within the next few days.

This book was written by Authors: Faith Blakeney, Justina Blakeney and Ellen Schultz.

Scarves HOT for Spring 2008

I visited a blog called Coquette - fashion + digital style by Natalie Zee Drieu. Natalie is a fashion lover at heart.

I'm am glad I came across her blog. She has a great write-up on Scarves for Spring 2008. She says, "I've always worn scarves and could not be happier to see more scarf looks down the runway." There are many examples here on how to wear a scarf.

You can read more about her observations on Fashion Week - Spring 2008..... The Look of Scarves.

Ok.... So I am a silk artisan who blogs, who designs fashion accessories. Fashion?... Accessories?.... Fashion? Well of course, I must blog about Sex and the City! It opens this Friday, May 30. Unfortunately, all of the Friday shows are sold out. But we got our tickets for Saturday instead. That's ok... we will be well rested. Our full attention will be on the movie.

We are going to the Cineplex on the Queensway. I hang with 7 fabulous ladies, and we are ALL going! Watch out GTA! How will you be able to tell us apart from the rest of the crowd? The best shoes, designer jeans, amazing handbags... ok, ok, I think I just described all of the Fabulous ladies in Toronto, who will be seeing this film. Of course... I will be wearing a scarf!

Booty Camp Fitness - Tomorrow's My Last Day!

Well tomorrow is my last class with Booty Camp Fitness. I am really glad that I took the 4 week class.

Personally, I have noticed a change in my body. I used to work out alot, and it is nice to see that my athletic shape coming back again. I love lifting weights. When I go to the gym, though I have a tendency to focus more on weights than cardio. (I hate cardio by the way). With Booty Camp Fitness, yes... it is ALOT of cardio, however, they incorporate alot of strength training within their routines. Stepping up and down on the bench in the park?? Aughhhhhh.... but wow! My legs look great! Remember running back and forth and touching the lines on the floor during gym class? Well try doing that and then adding some push-ups to the routine? Yuck... But seriously, my arms are really toned now!


They take your measurements on day 1. Tomorrow is the last class, and I will have my measurements taken again. Stay tuned.... I will let you know how I made out.

By the way, my trainer is Patsy (top row, middle).

The Heintzman House

On November 8 and 9, 2008, you can see me in person at the Heintzman House as I sell my silk scarves and accessories. The Heintzman House Auxillary, will be putting on their annual Christmas Craft Show and Sale. The 2008 Heintzman House Craft Show and Sale will showcase the talents of local craft artisans and fine artists.

The historic 13-room mansion, built in 1817, will be adorned in its finest holiday décor and promises to meet all of your holiday shopping needs. Experience a wide variety of hand made items and fine arts - ceramics, mouth blown glass, jewelry, hand made wooden toys and teddy bears, children and ladies fashion wear, toys and floral silk designs.

Craft show patrons can enjoy lunch in the mansion's elegant main floor lounge believed to encompass the original abode brick home built prior to 1802 by the property's first owner, United Empire Loyalist, Anthony Hollingshead. Saved from demolition in the 1960's by the Town of Markham, the Heintzman House is a designated historic property protected under the Ontario Heritage Act.

All proceeds from the sale will go towards refurbishment of the house.

GiftStumped!

Wow! My silk scarves are being featured on GiftStumped.com!

Ok..ok... I surfed the web, came across their site, and "suggested" that they visit my site.
And --- "they liked me... they really liked me!"

Well my wearable works of art that is.
Here is a quote from GiftStumped:

Honestly, my first thought was “do I want to review scarves?” Interesting enough? Unique enough?
But, after taking a look, I:

1. Saw how beautiful the scarves are
2. Realized how unique they really are
3. Thought that they would make lovely gifts for women & women who are art lovers
4. Noticed that Dee can make custom pieces for you
5. Decided that I was late in getting a Mother’s Day gift idea post out (although we do have a nice list of Mother’s Day Gift Ideas on the site)

......If you do purchase something from Dee for this Mother’s Day, you will also have a nice story to tell Mom about how you found a cute site called GiftStumped and found unique, hand-painted scarves created by an artist in Toronto. She just doesn’t need to know you almost waited until the last minute!

I would like to thank GiftStumped, for this great opportunity!
