outfit- 100% thrifted!!!
Here is my new macrame purse I bought yesterday! I think I'm going to have to keep it for now :D
Macramé is an ancient craft of knotting in geometric patterns to create a host of creative arts; from jewelry and home decorations to plant holders and wall hangers. The term macramé is Arabic in origin meaning 'fringe'. The art of macramé dates back to the thirteenth century when the Arabian weavers started knotting the extra fabric at the edges of loomed fabric. What began as a craft making skillful use of knots has grown to become "Macramania"! (source)
I'm not sure what it is about macrame that is so appealing to me lately, but I'm dying to learn how to do it! Last weekend Nicky's Mom (who use to be an avid Macrame-er in the 70's) bought a vintage macrame pattern book. She may not know it, but I've decided she must teach me! I will also be keeping my eyes peeled for any macrame items in the thrift stores :D
These next items are for sale on Etsy
this purse is amazing!
I predict that MACRAMANIA will be making a big comeback (if it hasn't already)! Let's get to knotting!
MACRAME! I just had to say it one more time...hehehe :D

ReplyDeleteYay for macramania! I think I can totally get on board with this! I am in absolute love with that dual leveled planter, oh and the hammock and the chair. Your purse is lovely too, as is your entire outfit, and how cool that you have access to a seasoned macramae-er, you know the more I learn about Nicky's mom the more I like her :D

Hi. If you will look inside the purse it should have a tag saying LIZ MILLER. I am Liz and I made this years ago. I’m so glad you like it.
