Congrats to Lovely :: Store Opening today!

Posted on | Thursday, April 8, 2010 | 1 Comment

I might be on the other side of the continent, but I'm thinking of how wonderful it must be for Lanie at Lovely today! Her gorgeous shop is having its store opening today. Be sure to let her know what a great accomplishment this is by heading over to her blog HERE. She's carrying local Portland favs Elizabeth Dye and Sarah Seven, oh, and lil ole me! A nice slice of the Oregon fashion scene in NYC!

Another sneak peak...

Posted on | Wednesday, April 7, 2010 | 5 Comments

I have a few things in the works, but here is another sneak peak at one of them. I've been working way more than overtime to get this off the ground. Like little soldiers.... my miniature army is on its way into dozens of talented hands and photographers... many photographers! This is the first group. Brave little ones. There will be a another group heading out into the unknown very soon. I promise, this will be good and I promise I'll let you know what it is too!

R&D is taking more time than I originally predicted. I don't mean to keep you on the edge for so long, but it is tightly under wraps until the launch date. If you're much of a sleuth, I suppose I've very indirectly dropped bigger hints throughout the blog posts for many months. I'm terrible with secrets! For those in the "know", lips are sealed, right?

Sad weather calls for some sun

The weather is dumpy in Oregon today. I won't lie. I hate it right now and it's been like this for about 2 weeks. Matt and I planted grass a couple weekends ago when the weather was nice, and it still has not germinated yet! I think it is too cold!
I decided to make this sunshine headband in hopes that it would encourage the sun to come out. Please!

Available HERE

Love this look... oh, if they knew!

I love these looks and found out about the J. Crew fall collection through Chelsea's blog, of course! I love the warmth, the comfort and the laid back feel of all the looks... if you like the looks as well, you're going to LOVE what I have in store for everyone soon!!! *wink* *wink*

Reminds me of my previous outfit and outfit.
I'm the worst at keeping secrets, but I promise my upcoming secrets are good ones, and I'm sure I'll break down a little bit here and there with some awesome sneak peaks. By the way, Chelsea, you go girl! I'm referring to, "Thank heavens they are over the glitz and baubles phase, which quite frankly, I am well over." I didn't want to say anything before, but I'm a little tired of too much candy-like and overly sparkly anything. Yeah! Bring in the warmth, and rumpled anything! More *rumpled* things to come! *wink*
Oh! And hats are totally rocking and in! Sweet!!!!!

Lovely Bridal Shop

I cannot wait for Lanie's Lovely bridal shop to open, April 8th! It is the perfect place for lovely and unique brides to find that perfect dress, accessory, or dresses for their bridesmaids. PLUS! I know there are many brides that get in touch asking where they can try Twigs & Honey pieces on in New York.... well here's your chance! Lovely bridal shop will be carrying Twigs & Honey pieces. Hooray! I shipped off a bunch of pretty pieces earlier in the week and more today. I've been in such a rush, I haven't been able to photograph all the pieces, but here are a couple:

One of the first headbands in an exciting new line due in a few weeks.

The shop will also be carrying dresses from one of my personal favorites, Elizabeth Dye!
I have more surprises that will be in Lovely in the future. Stay tuned!

Oooh, so pretty

I just saw this lovely photo over at the image is found blog. The shoot was done at Joshua Tree National Park and was styled by the amazing Angel at Love and Splendor. It highlights the 5 different looks Angel created for the photographers and number 1 and 5 are wearing Twigs & Honey headbands. Yay! The fifth headband was also featured in the current Portland Bride & Groom Magazine. Here is a link to the full size picture HERE.

NEW! English Rose Collection :: In my Etsy shop

Posted on | Monday, March 29, 2010 | 11 Comments

I just finished listing a lovely new Twigs & Honey Collection: The English Rose Collection. I love the softness and vintage look of English Roses. Just like real roses, these ones are all one of a kind and unique. No two will be alike. I have hand dyed, hand painted, and hand sewn them with brooch pin and hair clip backings so you can wear them in your hair, clothes, purse, belt, wherever! Enjoy!

Sneak Peak! :: English Rose Collection

Coming this week!

Quiet blogging but a busy week!

So sorry for the light posts this week... actually, for no posts! I promise that it's because I'm up to too many good things! More on those "things" later! For now, I just wanted to post about a couple new pieces in my etsy shop. I think they are super girly and unique. I was recently asked by Willamette Woman Magazine, a local magazine in Oregon, to provide some headbands. Here's my favorite:

Tea and Cookies. A little vintage inspired number with a mini tulle lace veil. Perfect for not only a bride but for an afternoon tea party or bridal shower.

I also made this piece last week for fun, but didn't have a chance to list until today:

Antique Pink. Hand dyed silk, tulle lace, feathers, freshwater pearls and more, all hand sewn just for you!

Pinkham Millinery :: 10 years

Posted on | Friday, March 19, 2010 | 8 Comments

Matt and I stopped by Pinkham Millinery's studio yesterday evening for their 10 year celebration in Morgan's Alley. Dayna Pinkham is one of my most favorite milliners around. She made custom fedoras for Matt and I and we love them to death. The annual sale was also kicked off last night and I snagged a fabulous hat. There were so many that I loved, but I need to save up for those and spread my purchases out... I dream of having a huge Pinkham Millinery assortment of hats someday. :)

Sweet double blush :: New piece in the Etsy shop

I am plugging away diligently on all the made to orders and pieces for 3 photo shoots but I squeezed in one project as a "break" mid-afternoon. This piece is a double silk flower with feather accents. It is completely handmade using hand dyed and hand painted silks that are hand sewn. Enjoy!
