Lovely wedding featured in Unveiled Weddings

Posted on | Tuesday, January 5, 2010 | 1 Comment

Elizabeth Messina has really blown me away with these beautiful photos from her brother's wedding to the prettiest bride, Lauren. I got a sneak peak last month and have been dying to see more photos. I made Lauren a dramatic bridal hat with handmade, oversized silk white flowers and a double feather flower with detachable birdcage veil. Lauren wore them beautifully!

Mixing it up

Posted on | Wednesday, December 30, 2009 | 6 Comments

Holidays wore me out! I'm still recovering from all the traveling. Just to mix it up a bit, I created a festive shrug and vest. The shrug would be perfect for a bride or for a special occasion. The vest would be great over your favorite tank or shirt. I found a great metallic jacquard fabric a couple weeks ago and finally found a good use for it. Enjoy!

Vest
I made these in xs-s, but if you need a different size, get in touch. I still have enough fabric to make a few more. :)

I have a few new pieces for the Etsy shop... a bit of a random mix, but each is very unique and oh-so-much fun!

Double lux

I found the yummiest, softest, prettiest silk fabric over the weekend and had to fashion it into something. Fruit Punch

This one is fun... you can braid or weave the metallic threads into your hair for a subtle and romantic accent.

Golden Threads

Veils, veils, veils

I just added several veils to my Etsy shop that are ready to ship, so no waiting if you're in need of a veil asap. Enjoy!

Birdcage veil

Illusion tulle blusher veil

And my favorite... a convertible blusher/headband tulle veil

Love that beaded cashmere shrug? It's by Elizabeth Dye... a b-day gift from the hubby last year.

Boyish Charm :: New design for fall/winter

Posted on | Monday, November 2, 2009 | 3 Comments

I LOVE androgynous fashions... I don't know why. It must stem from my younger tomboy days when my dad used to pick my outfits for grade school (often boys clothes). Nowadays, I find that there's just something about a little bit masculine meets feminine... so sexy! I created a fun new ribbon scarf/tie for the Etsy shop and I have lots more lovely ribbon to whip some more up later this week. It is super unfussy and has a snap closure so you can whip it on or take it off without having to mess around with tying anything. Great for accenting your fall and winter outfits. And gingham print, come on!:

Super cheap, cheap too! View this design HERE.

Picking the Perfect Pumpkin :: Heiser Farms

Posted on | Sunday, October 18, 2009 | 4 Comments

Matt and I had a lovely time visiting Heiser Farms in Dayton Oregon on Sunday. We have made it a tradition to pick our own pumpkins each year, and this would make it our 8th time together picking pumpkins and our 3rd time at Heiser Farms. Last year and the first year we were dating, we went to the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island, which is also fantastic, but we wanted to stick closer to home this year. We may still go to the haunted corn maze on Sauvie Island next week... but we shall see!

So many to choose from. Normally, we go the weekend before Halloween and everything has been picked over, but this time around, it was really hard to choose!

Maybe...

Too warm for a jacket...

Still looking...

This one was lovely... but the grass is always greener.... have to keep looking...

We have a couple winners!

Chicks at the petting zoo.

Autumn is here!

Softest bunny... (hand unknown).

I was finally smart this year and wore some rubber boots (Hunter boots from gilt groupe!).

Waiting in line for some grub.

An abandoned piece of kettle corn.

Look! That's us a few years ago!

Last year, someone stole my pumpkin off our front porch, so we're keeping them indoors for now... maybe I need a few back-up pumpkins? There's still time before Halloween!
