Photo from Mackinac MittensThree Mackinac Island school teachers one day decided to explore making mittens from vintage wool sweaters. They loved the outcome, and began to make more and more! The island residents loved the warm, unique mittens. It's nice to know they are made with love and hours of hard work. The mittens became very popular and now the ladies make hats, and scarves as well. They have given so much time to make these beautiful mittens and have in return given to those in need. Check out their blog and Facebook page. Hats off to these three Mackinac teachers! What a wonderful idea; they have great talent and heart. The mittens are available during the summer season at Somewear on Mackinac and the Jaunting Cart and during the winter just send them a message and they will take care of you!

Discovered these when I started reading Liz's blog a long time ago. I saw them for the first time last year at both stores. They are BEAUTIFUL! I still have to get myself a pair! ;)
