I was so surprised when my mom showed up with this beautiful handmade blouse that she was wearing when she was my age.
Handmade things are filled with some kind of energy, there's something about them, a beauty that you can't create with a machine. When your hand and heart work together, you can't help but develop a new value system for things. Old fashioned values are back in style. You could detect it in the rich embroideries shown recently on the runways at Balmain and Dolce & Gabbana, and from the array of folkloric and artisanal references at Givenchy, Hermes and Louis Vuitton.
And because this blouse belonged to my mom, it's more magical in a way.
