Latest Trend...and a giveaway

Here in Utah we have this daytime talk show called Studio5.

It's a crafty, DIY kind of show that often highlights the latest

trends in the creative/artsy world. Last week they did a little

spot on using zippers as embellishments. I thought...."Hmmm,

that's a new one to me!" Then what do you know, just like that,

I started seeing them everywhere!

That afternoon I took Liesl to the mall to get a dress and shoes

for the Sweetheart's dance, check out the shoes she fell in love with.

Yep, zippers! As we walked out to the car we passed a kiosk

filled with leather purses that were embellished with....

yep, zipper flowers. That night I searched etsy to see what

was going on in etsyland where zippers were concerned

and sure enough.....

I found zippers!

An unbelievable statement piece at Believe In Happy

(love that shop name!)


A big beautiful zipper brooch (love the leaf) from Handcraft USA


and last, but not least, a sweet demure little
zipper flower headband from Feathered Whimsy.
So ingenious....I wonder who comes up with this stuff?
