Sew In Love

I've been working on a few projects this weekend, one of them being a new line of bow ties for my boutique.  I'm really excited about these Valentine/Love themed fabrics I picked out today!  And guess what?  I'll be offering pre-tied bow ties in the near future.  I'm a fan of the self-tie, however, pre-tied seems to be all the rage.  And they are not as labor intensive.

 I'm also digging out some other materials that I haven't visited in a while.  I'm whipping up some new button earrings and jewelry as well. Stay tuned, I'll be putting some new items online soon!

Wear to Work OOTD




This morning, it was so cold outside that layering was not an option.  Even now it’s still below freezing in Raleigh. So I started layering my tops, and after about 4 different combinations, this is what I came up with.  This outfit reminds me of springtime and sorbet; which are both comforting thoughts with this weather.

Now Open! Lena & Laine Boutique

A few years ago God revealed to me that one day I would have my own fashion business. A few years after that, I decided to write down my life dreams and prayed that God would grant me my hearts desires. After I finally learned how to let God take the lead, He rewarded me. I recall reading a quote from a friend that said, 'the amount of time it takes a prophecy to come to pass is irrelevant to the fact that it will come to pass!' I am so grateful that today I can cross off one item on that list: Become a business owner. Welcome to my Boutique! Handcrafted jewelry and fashion accessories for men and women.
