Cocktail Napkin Sewing Night with Owl and Drum
/
This past Thursday, we hosted a cocktail napkin sewing class at the shop with our friends at Owl and Drum, the cutest sewing and craft store at 15th and Delaware in Tulsa. Have you been? Their fabrics are to die for, they've got cute gifts (headbands, books, jewelry, etc.) and classes that will whip you into a beautiful crafting wizard. Bianca, the owner, is delightful, kind and helpful. Since our shops like each other so much, we decided they should go on a date. Enter Cocktail Napkin Sewing Night at Retro Den. The lovely Mary Perisho teaches most of the classes at Owl and Drum, and she taught our class too. We couldn't have been more excited that she brought vintage sewing machines for us and our guests to use. To top the evening off, attendees enjoyed fancy cocktails, Antoinette's Baking Co. treats and our ever charming banter.

The difference between minimal and unfinished decorating
I've been lying in bed thinking about this quite a lot over the past year. My life ritual is to swing from one extreme to another, then gently wander my way into middle ground. I did this with boyfriends. I did this with work. I'm doing this with my bedroom decorating, duh. So my once packed bedroom became quite a blank canvas this past year. And it's from this place, I have been contemplating the difference between minimal design and something not quite finished.
