Graceful Squares loves the organic mineral makeup brand Orglamix.
Such a great selection of colours to choose from!

We've even colour matched some Orglamix eyeshadows,
with three of our scarves. So beautiful and playful!

Graceful Squares couldn't be more happy! Since we don't have a professional photographer around, nor a professional camera (all our photos are taken with an iPhone 4G), this is all we ever wanted!

FotoFuze is such a great Etsy app - and will work great for anyone looking to enhance their photos, be it for business or private.

It is both easy and fun to use. After trying it once, you are sure to get a hang of it. 4 of 5 photos end up being 5-star quality!

To give you an idea of what it does, we will show you one of our own before & after pictures!

One of our new scarves, Summer in Central Park, is made of 100% acetate.

Never heard of acetate before? Here is a great and explaining article:

Acetate is derived from cellulose by reacting purified cellulose from wood pulp with acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of sulfuric acid. It is then put through a controlled, partial hydrolysis to remove the sulfate and a sufficient number of acetate groups to give the product the desired properties. The anhydroglucose unit, is the fundamental repeating structure of cellulose, has three hydroxyl groups which can react to form acetate esters. The most common form of cellulose acetate fiber has an acetate group on approximately two of every three hydroxyls. This cellulose diacetate is known as secondary acetate, or simply as “acetate”.

AcetateFiber Characteristics
  • Luxurious feel and appearance
  • Wide range of colors and lusters
  • Excellent drapability and softness
  • Relatively fast drying
  • Shrink, moth and mildew resistant
General AcetateFiber Care Tips — Most acetate garments should be dry-cleaned, but if laundering is indicated, use the following guide:
  • Handwash in warm water with mild suds.
  • Do not twist or wring out garment.
  • Do not soak colored items.
  • Press while damp on wrong side with cool iron. For finishing on the right side, use a pressing cloth.
    (For specific instructions, refer to garment's sewn-in care label.)

Note: Acetate is adversely affected by acetone and other organic solvents, such as nail polish remover and perfumes containing these solvents.
