Part 1 Piccolas by Anagrassia’s “Frontier” Fall Collection: The Kid’s Sports Jacket

Handmade High End Designer Wool Cashmere Tailored Cape Coat Jacket & Leather with Plaid Tartan Skirts Dresses with Ukrainian hand embroidered couture blouses

It’s offi­cial­ly fall in North­ern Indi­ana. Our warm sum­mer nights have tran­si­tioned into crisp cool days. The leaves have lost their vibrant greens and tak­en on a myr­i­ad of amber, gold­en and crim­son hues. A few remain, cling­ing to trees, but most are blan­ket­ing the ground where they’ve fall­en, just wait­ing for an eager child to rake them into piles for jumping.

Tino’s Baptism

Ukrainian Hand Embroidered Baptismal Christening White Blue Boys Gown; Tan Camel Beige Champagne Wool Cashmere Tailored Cape Cloak Coat Champagne Leather Block

Just before the new year, my nephew was baptized. He wore his broth­er’s Ukrain­ian hand-embroi­dered chris­ten­ing gown. The gown was made for a baby 2–3 months old, so the gown was a bit snug around his arms. The gown is white linen with very light ivory lace inserts. This gown was inspired by the Ukrain­ian gowns my babcha made for her grandsons. My sis­ter, Katie, wore her new Bur­dastyle wool cash­mere...

Burdastyle Hand Embroidered Linen Easter Dress 2018

EASTER Ukrainian embroidered burdastyle anagrassia dress 26

Every year I chose my East­er dress pat­tern and embroi­dery at the begin­ning of Lent. I then work on it and any oth­er spir­i­tu­al goals I may have until the big day arrives.

But prayer­ful per­sis­tence is reward­ed with a col­or­ful riot...
