brown paper packages tied up with string.

The orders are FLOODING in as of late (mainly because I've been doing tons of craft shows...makes sense, huh?). I decided that I wanted to make our Hicks Girls packages just as fun as the goodies inside of them.

I mean, everyone loves getting mail...right?

So how much would you love getting one of these in your mailbox, stuffed full of Hicks Girls goodies???

 You know I have to keep the fleur-de-lis theme alive and well. And I love how the silver looks against the brown packaging.

Not gonna lie...the ruffles are from old tshirts that I cut up and ruffled. I just think they looks so fun!

ruffled cardigan refashioned

Hello faithful readers!

Many many apologies for the tardiness in blog posts lately. There have been some exciting developments in the lives of the Hicks Girls lately...but more on that in a future post.

Mainly, I wanted to show you some of the projects I've been working on lately. First up...one of my new favorite things in my wardrobe! This refashioned ruffled cardigan!!

Sister just moved from Lafayette to Evansville, and in the process she made some major donatiosn to Goodwill. Being the sweet and wonderful sister that she is, she allowed me first stabs at most of it and I grabbed some "treasures". The American Eagle cardigan and silk-flowered cami below were two such treasures!

Now, I'm not a simple cardigan girl....so I decided to jazz this one up a bit!

I cut up the camisole and ruffled it some of the pieces. I also took the zipper from the side and the lace from the top/bottom to make some flowers. Then I cut up an old white t-shirt to use as the base ruffle....and TA DA!!!

The final product....and I'm totally in love with this!!

(excuse the lighting of this "artsy" selfie)
Seriously, is this ruffled cardigan not one of the cutest things you've seen!?!?!?!

Here's where I'll be linking up this week!
