Thursday's Treasure

 Sometimes when the to-do list keeps on growing, it's a simple treasure just to be able to check one thing off.

~*~

When other projects are lengthy and daunting, finishing a smaller one can still give one a sense of accomplishment.

My ring bearer pillow is completed, photographed, and ready to be listed!   Though I did this first one in traditional white, this cotton comes in some beautiful colors and can be customized at no extra charge!

~*~

I hope that you've found a nugget of gold in your day today.  Do share!

Thursday's Treasure

I get to go to a wedding in April!  Well, part of me does, anyway.  I'm in the process of making 120 bright yellow stars to be given as favors at a spring wedding in Massachusetts.  Fingers are crossed for a photo of them at the big event :)

Thursday's Treasure

We have a real treat today thanks to a very creative and generous sosovintage customer!  Erica purchased some fabrics from the shop way back in December and March and May to be used in her September 2011 wedding.  These photos, courtesy of Erica and the uber talented David Zwickerhill of Zwickerhill Photography, show how she used them!

Is this a gorgeous bride, or what?  That belt was handmade with sosovintage fabric! 

~*~

Super fancy bow in back... and I see a peek of the fabric in her hair accessory, too.

~*~

Look at those shoes!!  So perfect with the belt.  I think some sosovintage fabric ended up in that bunting back there- isn't it fun?

~*~

And more bunting!  Amazing, right?  So festive and so perfect for this couple and their venue.  Erica put together a truly phenomenal handmade wedding, with many, many purchases supporting small businesses on Etsy.  I am thrilled to have had a chance to play a tiny part in such wonderfulness!

~*~

What a beautiful couple!

Again, all photos are credited to David Zwickerhill- what a fantastic job he did of capturing the emotion and essence of the day.  I had an opportunity to peruse hundreds of Steve and Erica's wedding day photos online, and I can't even begin to tell you about all of the fun attention to detail I saw.  Thank you so much, Erica, for sharing some of your special day with us!  Best wishes to the newlyweds :)

Wedding Favor Sample

Yippee yay me! I had a request for a custom wedding heart favor sample. This couple will be wed in Michigan this summer, and their colors are red and black. I have SO much fun creating these- from designing the concept, to shopping for supplies, to putting them together just so. The "Gratitude is the memory of the heart" quote is on the back of these as well. It's too perfect of a sentiment not to include.

Here's hoping you have a fabulous weekend!

Makeover Monday: 2/22

I started this project off with a piece of vintage Sears & Roebuck bedsheet.

~*~

And I created the "one egg wonder basket"! Not only does this appeal to my love of all things little, it also has so many fantastic decorating possibilities and uses. Wouldn't a set of these with tags make an awesome Easter tablesetting? Or as spring wedding placecards/favors? How about using it in your kiddos lunchbox for a hard boiled egg treat? Oh, Martha? Rachel? Country Living? Are you listening?
