Everything – brownies, cards, dinner and now kid’s clothing.  When I saw this children’s clothing line on a recent shopping trip to American Rag in Los Angeles, I fell in love with the originality of each of homeSpun’s pieces.  homeSpun vintage was started by 2 moms, Kathlene Linchan and Corrie Sullivan who live in LA, and were inspired by vintage clothing and fabrics.  Using these garments as a starting point, they rework the pieces by adding appliques, embroidery and embellishments.  They call it creative recycling – I call it super fabulous. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation for your one-of-a-kind kid.  Check out their site to see just how cool their pieces are. Better yet, if you are in the LA area on Sunday, June 27, check out their trunk show – details below.
