Here is the new logo for my handmade "things" enterprise (haha). Since I am having trouble settling on what exactly I will be selling...wreaths, decor, prints, crafty projects, art...I thought "things" covered it all. I decided against "goods" because it sounded too official and reminds me of bags of barley and bolts of fabric (which I will not be selling). And "do-dads" was too much of a mouthful. Can I boast that I hand drew the border and tweaked it in Photoshop all by myself?! Silly but a big deal to me. My husband was laughing that I have my logo and tags ready before I have the work finished. He just doesn't get it. Sometimes getting your packaging together helps push you forward. Right? Or am I just working backwards?

Fancy Headbands

I don't know what is prettier these gorgeous headbands or the photo styling? I wish my littlest pheasant would would wear a headband! Right now she is into the wild child look. A Field Journal created them for Project Wedding. Click here for instructions on how to make one. Maybe, I will make one for when she is older? Add it to my ever growing list of "things I'd like make list"

Next Year

Inspiration boards for upcoming weddings in 2010...

Laurel

You may or may not know I have a love affair with Greek and Roman art... decorative objects, glassware, urns, jewelry (ooh! the jewelry) the list goes on...as evident from my post back when. Anyway, this is made of gold plastic leaves of all things. Still working on the little label. Not sure about it.

Cotton Wreath

The holiday's are quickly approaching and I've been busy working away on some seasonal decor. I will be debuting some wreaths soon. Here is a little preview - raw cotton in the pod wreath tied with a satin ribbon. I will finally be posting this and other little nature inspired decor on my brand new etsy site - so please stay tuned! If anyone is interested in the meantime (things always take longer than I plan!) email me for information. I will ship.

Harvest Moon

Orange unique and black beauty roses, dahlias, scented geranium, red cosmos, smoke bush, burgundy scabiosa, pink astilbe, bittersweet and sweetgum branch. Loads of pumpkins and gourds. Lovely details. And yes, I carved their initials on a pumpkin...well, Christine got it started.

Moss Under Glass

The other week I received a special package from a dear friend who lives on many acres of woods in Western Mass. She sent me two ziplock bags of the most amazing mosses and baby ferns. I am so happy with the terrariums and succulent arrangements I threw together. They are brightening up my storefront window right now. I hope they last! Happy Monday all.
