I Heart.... 5/28 - 6/3

Kimono sleeve cropped blouse made of organic cotton by FineThreadz $28

Each week Team Serendipity spotlights one team member in our "I HEART...." series in the form of treasuries featuring their shop and linking their beautiful items using social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and StumpleUpon. This week it's Sharon from FineThreadz. Sharon is a designer based in Houston Texas.  She designs fun, casual clothing and leather accessories.  Sharon had the itch to stitch from a very early age, from when she sat on her grandmother's lap while her grandmother sewed away on her Singer machine.  Sharon uses fabrics that are eco-friendly knits, linens and silks, which are very breathable textiles. She believes that the woman should wear the clothes and not the other way around, and with this philosophy in mind you will find comfortable, stylish and under-embellished designs in her shop.  Sharon was also featured in a blog post about traditions here and you can also follow her on Twitter.  Browse on through to her shop and show her some love.

And here is a recent beautiful treasury curated by Sharon for Team Serendipity:
