In the Attic: Intro
In the Attic.
Do you know how you got here?
You were in the Rose Room, and looked in the closet.
In the back of the closet slept a panel.
You pushed aside the panel, and opened a space.
Crossed the space, and found a stair.
Climbed the stair, and discovered the Attic.
*****W*e*l*c*o*m*e*****
The Attic will open April 1st, no foolin'. Until then imagine your attic - real or ideal - and its cobwebbed treasures. See if you can guess what this one may hold.
Attic Wares
What do you find In the Attic? Curiosities, ribbons, various treasures. Pillows and purses and wraps. A collection of shiny, silky, fuzzy, furry fabrics folded in with the benches, candles, and old wooden chairs. And bats of course, it's not a right proper attic without bats.
The attic is having a rummage sale. The purses, pillows, wraps and bats below are all handmade, original items. Most can be purchased directly from this site, but a couple are available on ebay. Every item In the Attic is one-of-a-kind, designed to add unique decoration to a person or a place. I hope you enjoy leafing through this attic's wares below.

2 Wraps
1. small neck wrap - blue neck wrap with grey flannel lining to keep you warm. Smaller than a tradition scarf with blue beading on the ends - designed for inside or outside wear. Comfortable and one of a kind. $4. plus s&h.
2. large wrap - blue and white wrap with blue beading on the ends - one side features blue half-circle beading while the other side's trim has both a row of beads and solitaries. Perfect for dressing up, can also be used as a table-runner if you are so inclined. Below I'm modeling the wrap so you can see how big it is, and also how lovely it makes my pjs appear. =) $8 plus s&h.

2 Shoulder Bags
1. black & white shoulder bag - fuzzy black shoulder bag with white ribbon accent, black vinyl and grommet strap, and white lining. Silver toggle clasp. This is the very first handmade item, and so the third picture offers a close-up of the uneven stitching in the purse lining. I say it's got 'character.' $5 plus s&h.
2. green & grey shoulder bag - lime green and grey flannel shoulder bag with black vinyl and grommet strap. I used extra wide black ribbon to accent the front with an X - the last picture is supposed to give you an idea of the wide hand-stiching on the X. Black snap closure - my hand offers an idea of purse size. I absolutely adore this bag and hope someone else will too. $7 plus s&h.
