etsy love: softspoken

i know of miss softspoken from wardrobe_remix...she's been a contributor there for many years now. she's got a savvy eye for stellar vintage pieces (see that superb old multicolored liz claiborne bag she's selling, shown above)...but where she soars, i say, is with her lovely hand-crocheted hats and other accessories. lookit those bobbles! delicious.
summer is my least favorite time of year, it's too hot and steamy and sweaty (in NYC at least)...and all during this stickiest of seasons i daydream about the cooler days to come and all the sartorial possibilities inherent to thus. softspoken's hats are the just the kind of thing, the perfect textural, colorful winter pieces, that i see in said (day)dreams. too too good.

this one is for the new york city craft geeks (like yours truly!) who have a deep hankering to learn know more about the history and culture of their craft(s):
the new york public library is hosting a FREE program called handmade: then and now, hosted by jessica pigza (check out her blog!), a librarian in the NYPL's general research division on august 19, 2009, at 6pm, at the stephen a. schwarzman building at 5th ave. and 42nd street.
the description of this program is thus (taken from the NYPL's website):

"Are you a fan of vintage patterns for knitting, crochet, and more? Do you like to make stuff? Does craft history pique your interest? Crafty librarian Jessica Pigza explores how NYPL’s books, magazines, and digital collections can inform and inspire you in your own handmade work."

search for the class name if interested in more information about the class, etc. on the the new york public library's website.
