Elizabeth Messina... thought it couldn't get any better...

... and it did.
Elizabeth Messina has the most beautiful photos. Yes, they are all over this blog. She recently paired up with Leah Macdonald of Waxworks and created this beautiful piece of art:

oooh... and I'm tickled that the photo includes a Twigs & Honey piece!
If you are interested in Elizabeth's encaustic work, email her (info@elizabethmessina.com). If you're lucky enough to attend the Lovely Workshop in France this May, Leah will be attending and showing all the attendees how to make their own piece of wax. Exciting! Read more HERE.

Tuesday Out to Lunch Outfit

3 Comments

I've been tinkering around with the blog these last couple days and I'm adding a new outift gallery in my flickr folder and on this blog on the left. There's one lonely outfit right now, but I hope to get more soon. Matt and I went out to lunch today and I wore the above. I usually don't dress up on workdays since I'm at home, but if we go out to lunch, I jump at the opportunity. So, the outfits will be a bit sporadic, but I'll try to get them up as often as possible. Enjoy!

I never made an Etsy Treasury before... isn't that funny? I've been on Etsy for a while now and never took the time to figure it out. Yesterday, I decided to give it a go... and some spots just opened up. Visit my Treasury HERE.

It includes so many of my Etsy favorites!
Maybe, it will make the Front Page? It expires tomorrow evening, so be sure to view it before it's gone. Myra's Treasury

Become a Twigs & Honey sponsor!

Posted on | Monday, January 18, 2010 | No Comments

I am pleased to announce that I'll be having Twigs & Honey sponsors on this blog this year! Twigs & Honey has been growing in leaps and bounds in the past 2 years and much of the growth has been through the help of wonderful fellow bloggers. Twigs & Honey will continue to venture into new territory throughout 2010 and I'd love to have you join in on all the excitement.

Sponsor ad spots will be on the left column of this blog and there will be large ad spots (240 x 200 pixels) and small ad spots (240 x 80 pixels). I'm starting off with very low, low rates and multi-month discounts. These spots would be great for small businesses, new businesses, etsy shops, blogs, and more!

If you'e interested in becoming a Twigs & Honey sponsor, please email me for sponsor information:
info@twigsandhoney.com

Thank you!

Four corners of the Twigs & Honey studio

It's a modest little space...
I guess I never really blogged my studio in its entirety, huh? It's about time. :) I am constantly reorganizing, rearranging, and de-cluttering it. It's a perpetual work in progress. Since it isn't huge, I really have to maximize the space. See more in my Flickr folder.

My "new" to me sewing table

Posted on | Tuesday, January 12, 2010 | 9 Comments

I found this old sewing table at an antique shop last weekend... actually... I found it in October and thought about it for a couple months. Good thing I waited because it was over 50% off. Yay! Matt asked several times if I wanted him to repaint it. I said "no". I like the beat up look... someone or several people loved it over the years and after a few coats of paint, I like the way it looks now. :)

Bella Figura Trendsetter Sample Sale

Posted on | Monday, January 11, 2010 | No Comments

I love the modern, beautiful designs of Bella Figura and when the ultra sweet and pretty, Cyd of The Sweetest Occasion got in touch a little while ago to share the new collection and invite me to become part of the Trendsetters, I was completely excited. Here's a bit more on the Trendsetters at Bella Figura:

"Find out what letterpress wedding invitation designs these style-driven trendsetters recommend. Each of our trendsetters has curated a sample pack, which includes their selection of five favorite invitations; paper samples; and ink swatches + envelope lining colors if you’d like, all packaged in a keepsake Bella Figura box. 100% of a sample pack cost is donated toward an environmental nonprofit. (Because it's a 100% donation, the sample cost won't be refunded if you place your order from us. Thank you for supporting the world with your order!)"

If you're interested in gorgeous wedding invitations, be sure to visit Bella Figura. Right now is the best time because from now until January 16th, all Trendsetter sample packs are 50% off! That is $10 for 5 invites and all the proceeds go to charity. Read about my choices HERE. Here are the lovely cards I chose:
