How come this says Not for sale?
londonerus
@blbruch i was gonna sell it but every fiber of my being wants to keep it.. so i changed it to 'not for sale' for now :-O
barellagirl

londonerus

londonsdigs
Oooh Sis it’s a keeper!!!! and those patches!!! Absolutely amazing and Gorgeous looks like snow fell all over it but just a little to let the patches show Thur:)))))
londonerus
@londonsdigs keep it, right???? i put it 'not for sale' but also the price tag at $1,000 just in case smokey walks across my keyboard and puts it back 'for sale' lol.. i think i should keep it, right?
barellagirl
@londonerus I can see why maybe this beauty should stay with you xoxo so gorgeous
barellagirl
@londonerus you should keep this one
londonerus
@barellagirl thank you, done deal -- keeping it :-)))))))) thank you so much :-)))))
londonsdigs
@londonerus oooh keep it!!!!for a while just to have to stare at lolololol Smokey changing the price to 200000.000 for Lobster Lunches everyday:))))lololololol!!!!!!
londonerus
@londonsdigs lolololol he did actually send an email once.. his opinion was something to the effect of gdhghsgfvsbvcbcvdsagdgdhsa :-)))))))
londonsdigs
@londonerus ooooooh was that hilarious awww see wants to help my mom with her jobs🐾🌴🐾😻
londonerus

londonerus

iflip4fashion
🙀💜💜💜💜💜💜🙀 breathtaking as always!
londonerus
@iflip4fashion thank you much :-)))) ended up keeping it lol.. was sooooo happy when i saw your package got there safely was so nervous knowing you were away (and a bunch of my packages got delayed but of course not the one -- yours -- i was hoping would be lol)
iflip4fashion
@londonerus no worries, the hubby checks the mailbox daily and I'm i a such a great neighborhood I barely leave it, lol! More worried @ P.O. Really since they crush, tear, and in rare cases delay (misplace shipments). 😕. They are gorgeous cozy warm and so pretty I wear one around the house all day long. So funny because my fam always asks why I turn the heat down, lol? For $savings$? No, fashion! 😂😂😂
londonerus
@iflip4fashion lololololololol!!!!! who cares about saving on electricity when we can look good :-DDDDD
iflip4fashion
@londonerus it's freezing in IL now & I 💙it! Digging out my sweaters coats and heavy boots for fall & winter is so exciting! Now I have your scarves to look forward to as well! I swear, I'll be running around with such bad hot flashes in 5 years, I'll fight it off by going buff will just one of your scarves on if I have to... so keep making them long and wide enough to wrap , hahaha!!!🙀🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🤢
londonerus
@iflip4fashion you crack me up 😂 .. I was freezing the other day and was parading around in the house wearing one over my pajamas too.. wanted to sleep in it but figured it'd strangle me.. swear it felt ten degrees cooler when I finally took it off
jewelandjames
Yep, that’s a keeper for sure👊🏼
londonerus
@jewelandjames unanimous decision LOLOLOL thank you so much :-DDDD
deb2kiddos
@londonerus Signature of U!!!! Its TOTALLY a wonderous Beauty as we all "WINDOW GAZE" at it!!!!😍👀😍👀😍👀
2edgy
Oh my so soft looking in general, not just a texture. White and cream and especially together are such rich colors. Simply gorgeous
londonerus
@2edgy yes the same materials exactly as the bandanna.. soft soft soft.. the other day i was wearing it all day and periodically checked how much it moved around (after you made me laugh that when you were super active during the day you once had only 5" on one side lol) and it stayed quite symmetrical .. every time i checked i was giggling about your comment :-DDDD
2edgy
Ha ha! I can come off with some good ones and I am honest as jobe sometimes, probably too much so for my own good. A couple of the longer scarves, for whatever reason, do that twisting and turning on me and I do find myself extremely asymmetrical, a-ha ha ha ha ha but most of them stay in place just fine. Funny how a couple do but most do not! All in the materials and/or weights, how much movement and activity I’m doing, and sometimes I guess what I wear them on
londonerus
@2edgy the ones with pockets tend to move around more for me, esp when i am USING the pockets.. but i wear those to walk to get coffee without a purse, i rarely wear a pocketed one all day.. i more wear them in leu of a jacket haha
londonerus
@2edgy i LOVE talking clothes with you carla, you're a breath of fresh air i swear :-DDD
danderfluff
😍 beautiful!! So vintage looking! Have you ever seen and products by Magnolia Pearl? You share similar threads! You must Google it..ideas...more work for you!🤓 LoL

missdulcie
@londonerus This is the one you kept?!!! @londonsdigs did you gift her these patches too???? Way cool!
londonerus
@missdulcie yes this is the one I kept.. I had the patches for this one, they were my own :-)
missdulcie
@londonerus Well this is one awesome scarf & similar to mine 😁 you must have one for yourself & this sure is a keeper! Those are awesome patches! I have amassed a collection of military patches to use at some point but never have seen ones like these or in the colors of the one on my scarf!
londonerus
@missdulcie yes, i have quite the collection of military patches (yet always looking for more) but i've never had a brown one like the one from @londonsdigs .. that's why i wanted to use it for something truly worthy of it & thought your scarf was the perfect contender :-D
missdulcie
@londonerus Oh it was! & will be appreciated foreva! Don't you find it hard to use the rare things we find? At first I had trouble cutting things up now I go for it! But I still have trouble using my treasured finds. Thus I try collect a bunch of everything & then I am able to use some of it! Creates for quite a stash tho!😨😨😨 lolol
londonerus
@missdulcie absolutely, yes same here! if i didn't love your scarf as much as i did i totally would've hung onto the patch!
missdulcie
@londonerus thanks for letting it go! Maybe I can learn from this!
liliana_grace
You have the coolest closet I've ever seen. Hands down. ✊👍👌
londonerus
@liliana_grace omg what a compliment! thank you SO MUCH <3 <3 <3
liliana_grace
@londonerus I'm serious. So cool. 😍
Thank you so much for all the shares. I reallllly appreciate it. Have a great week! 🌸
londonerus
@liliana_grace thank you for the shares too & have an awesome week as well :-D
yummyhandful
Girl, I shared my heart out and I am crushing hard on your closet! Wishing you many many sales!!! You are amazing! Keep up the craftiness. 😘
londonerus
@yummyhandful ooooh i'll share back i promise, thank you so much :-)
bowie900
I’m obsessed with this scarf!!!! I’m torn between 2 others because this one isn’t available😋 LOVE IT💗
londonerus
@bowie900 i hear you lololol i do!!!! i listed it but as soon as it was up i was hoping it wouldn't sell :-DDD then other people in the comments said i should keep it (twist my arm :-DDDD).. so i did.. i really love it too, prob my favorite scarf. the most similar one of those still available is Cafe Himalayas (it's a warmer version though and of course there are other differences)..
bowie900
@londonerus is the cafe Himalaya that much thicker? I love that one too!!!
londonerus
@bowie900 yes it's a bit warmer than this.. it has more knits in it
bowie900
@londonerus I’m torn between that one n cafe Casablanca.... yes, I can tell it has more knit material... Aggghggh help I’m stuck in your closet LOL

~ fun 🌺🍒~
vtgcovergirl
If you make anything similar hit me up 😉😉❤️❤️
londonerus
@riglem65 will do :-)
vtgcovergirl
@londonerus Very serious.., I actually meant to buy one already, and then Christmas happened 🙃
londonerus
@riglem65 oh no and winter is almost over :-O i'll tag you in anything similar no prob :-)
blueyedangel72
Gorgeous!
megeliza11
You’re so creative. It’s amazing looking at your photos 🖤
londonerus
@megeliza11 ah thank you so much :-) i love your closet as well, those printed fp flares are out of this world!
megeliza11
@londonerus Thank you so much!! They are definitely favorites of mine. I finally found my size so I can let the others go! Worth the wait 😊
londonerus
@megeliza11 oh i know the feeling been hanging onto a few faves in the wrong size before lol!! i'd buy yours in a heartbeat if they were my size :-)
megeliza11
@londonerus haha yesss! What size do you need? They seem to run small, at least in the thighs and butt. I’m always a 25 but they were really tight in my thighs, so 26 is better (maybe a tiny bit big). I can keep an eye out for you! And do you like the dark or light? I like both 😊
londonerus
@megeliza11 i'm 23 but the fp 24s usually fit too.. really depends on the brand & cut, almost can't buy successfully without trying on first, as sizes are not consistent! not that i don't have enough jeans lol it's prob for the best that they are not my size! yes i like both too, the lights i think are even better than the dark ones if that's even possible
megeliza11
@londonerus 😂 I know, I have so many pairs of jeans. I just bought the sundial ones because I love that print! Well you’re tiny, I’m guessing the 24 would fit for you! Maybe 25. I’ll keep an eye out for a 24!! 😍
cathrn65
Can you make more close to this?
londonerus
@cathrn65 probably similar but not the same :-( i did a remake of sorts of this one, it's sold now but i show you anyway so you can see how similar/dissimilar it is
cathrn65
LOVE LOVE LOVE can you make something a little bit shorter?
londonerus
@cathrn65 i can.. it will be a little while though as these ones take longer to make (which is why they're pricier too). i love this one too, wear it a lot :-DDD
cathrn65
@londonerus not so wide as well like 8-10 inch wide and half the size of the long one you know what I mean?
cathrn65
@londonerus oh and is that you modeling?
londonerus
@cathrn65 ok :-) yes that's me in the pics
cathrn65
@londonerus WOW I was just showing what I bought and my friend was guessing who you would be
merlin14

londonerus

tickleme14
Your work is amazing! Love what you create and the fact that you upcycle and promote re-use and re-love. I’m into the same things myself and will definitely enjoy shopping and sharing your closet. Keep up the good work! ❤️🙏🏼
clea13
Thanks for the shares 😄 I really need to give sewing another shot so i can make stuff like this!
taste_not_money
I am & was in design for years & I can tell you that achieved imperfections are what make a one of a kind: that. This quilt would be an excellent canvas for christening gowns, wedding , can see any number of uses- jkt, coat , child’s clothing. Excellent work.
Best
Paula.
iflip4fashion
I still dream of the day you may let this one go & sell it to me. I want a never ending collection of your scarves! 🖤
londonerus
@iflip4fashion omg your timing.. i was just looking at the bandana version of this today, after months of not wearing it, thinking i could let go & list.. but chickened out lol
iflip4fashion
@londonerus I totally get it. Thus my house of closets I keep adding to vs letting go of! Loving beautiful things is also a curse as well as a gift.
londonerus
@iflip4fashion right? some pieces, no matter how much i love i can let go 'cause i know they're better off with someone else.. but some pieces are so meant to be.. i do want to eventually make a few more like this
dannic6
Hey girl . Was wondering if u ever consider selling this beauty could u let me know ?

brendi50
Hello and Thank you for the shares! You have a gorgeous closet, I'm going to bookmark it, so I can remember your closet. Have a great day. Brenda💞
themusicmandy
@londonerus I am so inspired by your creativity and resourcefulness! I have to ask... where do you find all of your materials? Are you more of a use what you have or do you visit thrift locations? I have some old leather pieces I intend on upcycling. I feel like a lot of my desire to do so stems from seeing you always posting your beautiful pieces. 😁
londonerus
@themusicmandy ah thank you so much :-DDD gotta love old leather <3 pieces :-D i do use what i have but am also sort of a fabric/clothes magnet and save pieces i think might be good for something some day.. i def can't throw away good leather.. realistically, i alway have more plans with them than what i could humanly execute and also it's not like i make things all the time.. so pieces pile up faster than i'm able to do something with them.. more ideas than time to do :-D
danileslie
This is absolutely stunning!! You are very talented! 😍
londonerus
@danileslie thank you very much :-)))
chynnagrove
@londonerus Hi there. This is beautiful. I understand why you don’t wanna sell it. But if you do happen to create some scarves I’d be very interested! Be well.
londonerus
@chynnagrove thank you so much 😊 yes, wear this all the time (when it's scarf weather I mean).. just really love it :-))) but yes I do make lots & lots of scarves so I'm sure I'll make some that are similar & will tag you for sure ♥️♥️♥️ thank you so very much 😊
chynnagrove
@londonerus That’d be great. Thank you 😊
londonerus
@chynnagrove :-))))
londonerus
@chynnagrove listed a somewhat similar one today.. it s shorter than this one and obviously not the same but it's from the same world as this one.. i'll tag in a sec
chynnagrove
@londonerus You mean the one that’s sorta unisex? I think I just ❤️’d it & shared. It’s very cool-I’d love it on the (right) guy. Thank you for the heads up- much appreciated.
londonerus
@chynnagrove hey :-) I meant a different one.. thought I'd tagged you but looks like I messed up.. let me try again :-)
sumtra99

londonerus
@mizcj :-))))
czarinae
Are you taking any commissions? I’d love a long scarf like this in black and gray tones. If you have the time — let’s talk!
londonerus
@czarinae hi dani --- basically, if I have a lot of freedom then I'm usually able to come up with a good design.. if it has to be very specific.. like this shade of purple but not that shade .. or other specifics like that I usually am just not able to tune into the spirit of that project.. but of it is something like, similar to this but in grey and blacks then I'm usually able to create it..I'm not very analytical about it, more just letting it take its own form so as long as there's
londonerus
@czarinae not a lot of mind involved I'm usually able to :-) let me know what you think?
czarinae
@londonerus I would absolutely want you to have full creative freedom. Let’s do it!
londonerus
@czarinae perfect & thank you :-))))
londonerus
@czarinae hi :-) I've been working on one -- will most likely finish it today.. I honestly don't know how similar or not similar it is (grey//black so colors obv not similar) but it's also more grunge.. I'll show you when it's done.. should be in just a bit
czarinae
@londonerus Wonderful! Can’t wait.
seaside_thrifts
I heard you are selling at a place in Nashville, is there a link to them that we can shop as I see your not really on Poshmark anymore.
londonerus
@seaside_thrifts hi <3 there were a few people with shops who bought but I'm not really sure where in Nashville they are reselling -- I'll try to find out & add it to the links up top :-) I've been traveling but once I settle in a bit again I already know there'll be things to sell.. so pretty sure I'll be back to selling "-D
seaside_thrifts
@londonerus Thanks for getting back to me. I just read your blog, I love it.
You should sell your bulk supplies on here, I’d definitely be one to buy vintage lace.
Safe travels.
londonerus
@seaside_thrifts oh my good to know! not sure why I never thought of selling supply when it becomes too much! def will let you know yes!
seaside_thrifts
@londonerus I hope that you start selling on Poshmark again, I miss your beautiful creations. I would totally be into buying like a box of whatever’s craft whatnots that you have or failed attempts or just things you said scre it I don’t feel like working with this.
I did from another reseller @Londondiggs, I think that her name and I was able to save loads of great things from the landfill.
I hope that your move has been good.
londonerus
@seaside_thrifts hi -- thank you! I think I'll have some pieces to list. I still have much of my stuff in boxes -- didn't want to unpack until most the remodel's done. I'll try to put up some previews here or maybe on my site I haven't decided yet of what I might end up parting with to see if there's any interest
79orangelilies
Hey Chickie! What did you ever decide to do with this beauty?
londonerus
@79orangelilies hi! I sold it a few months ago.. :-(
londonerus
@79orangelilies is tikko all good now??
79orangelilies
@londonerus 😭😭😭 that's a bummer for me anyway.
79orangelilies
@londonerus Tik-ko is all good now. Being his old doggy self. thank you for asking 😊❤️
londonerus
@79orangelilies oh :-( I hope there’ll be other ones you’ll like.. although I agree this one was my fave too. But so happy tik-ko is well at last ❤️🙏🏻💕
79orangelilies
@londonerus I went back and checked it out, well at least you got a great price for it. 😁 I hope you make something similar soon... or I'll just have to buy a sewing machine and get to work. 🤣😂😜
