Design a Day - Day 12 (Earthy Grey)

Photobucket

Break, break, break,
On thy gray stones, O sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me
-Alfred, Lord Tennyson


As I mentioned earlier, I didn't reinvent the wheel for the Design a Day today. Today's boots are a grey version of our Callista boots. I can't wait for you to see these in manufactured form! Anyway, the boots have a mix of fun grey print with mod, dandelion graphic detail. The base of the boot is a faux grey suede. Both fabrics have a slight olive hue to the grey, which is why the boots look complete when paired with the little brown wood buttons and textured brown velvet detailing inside. I have one pair, available here.

In addition, I have two fun and super, super easy grey-themed DIY projects. First, I love this adorable wrap sweater and detail around the neck--so fun and modern. Also, check out these chalkboard win bottles. I have used chalk board spray paint a number of times--so easy! These little bottles would be great table centers to write special message or the menu du jour... you know, if I actually cooked any more!

Here is another photo of the Callista boots paired with some pine cones...

Finally, check out this lovely DIY little wreath! What a brilliant idea! It's simply torn linen or cotton, threaded through a bent coat hanger. Fantastic!

Happy Monday!
Sorry this post is so late, Mia and I are both under the weather today!

Jessica you can't do this to me. I love that shirt and went online to find it and my bubble just burst. 605$!?! Craziness! Maybe I should try and make one. ha. (I can't sew)

I just saw your cute little grey boots on Pinterest. Amazing work!

Oh my goodness! You are amazingly talented, and I am so impressed that you made those boots! I had fun visiting your website, seeing all the beautiful shoes, boots, clothes...Do you make boots and shoes in sizes 1-5 in kids? My youngest daughter loves your shoes/boots! :)

I also wanted to thank you for featuring my linen wreath, that is so kind of you to mention it! :)

I hope you have a wonderful Monday!

Blessings,
Jenni

I love those kids boots too so cute but they looked familiar to me and then i realized...Those exact boots are from anthropologie!

I'm so madly in love with those little boots, makes me wish I had a little girl.

I may be a bit naive and I have never been to this site before. Is there a pattern for the baby boots for viewing and reference?
