Matt and I had a great time decorating the tree this year. Here are the results! Plus lots of Indy shots with interesting lighting effects going on. :) Enjoy!
Custom bridal sash

Recently finished this custom order sash featuring three handmade flowers using hand dyed silks and linen. Nice and bright! :)

New Website!
I hadn't done a major official website redesign in what feels like ages, so in my "spare" time, I finally got a new website up and running. :) The nice thing about the new site is that it combines my official site with my new online store in one place. You can also combine your Twigs & Honey accessory order with a Twigscent order. Yay! So be sure to visit the NEW twigsandhoney.com!
Wooden nature clips are here!

At Little Winter, I completely sold out of our new wooden clips and it's taken me some time, but I've finally finished the new batch and have them listed in the Twigs Etc. Etsy shop HERE. These charmers are everything I love including a ginkgo leaf, oak leaf and feather. They are made from my original sketches, which I hand digitize and then have cut locally. The hubby helps attach the brass bobby pin backings! They are great for gift giving and perfect last minute stocking stuffers. They are ready to ship so definitely order asap so they arrive in time for Christmas. :) Enjoy!

I made this sparkling piece last month but just haven't had a time to photograph and list until today. It would be perfect for a new year's party or a wedding with lots of shimmering rhinestones. Enjoy!

Forgot to post these :)

While in California, the hubby and I attended the Conoco Phillips Marketers Conference and had a very good time. They hold it every 2 years and you might remember us in Orlando in 2008. At the end of the week, they had an awards dinner with lots of entertainment. I think our favorite performance was Brian Olsen's Art in Action. Definitely check out his site and watch the video on the homepage.
Don't forget the garter...
Lovely real bride, Sam, sent this photo of her wedding day preparations. Such a pretty ensemble. She's wearing the Twigs & Honey Blue Bird garter. Just the perfect, simple addition to your wedding day:

I hope everyone has a wonderful long holiday weekend!
I might be committed to cooking two whole turkeys this year... we shall see (bad vegan me, bad!).
Here are a few photos from our recent business trip to California...




Look at all those skulls!

My $4.99 jacket. :) :)



We visited all the tourist-y places. :P

When I'm being a bad vegan, I like eating toppings with yogurt on the side... haha!
Feather charm necklaces up in the new Twigs Etc. Etsy shop
Posted on | Tuesday, November 23, 2010 | 3 Comments

I just got back from the business trip in California and am getting back into the swing of things... albeit, a bit slowly today. We left the house as a complete disaster before we left so I've been trying to clean up a bit and unpack so I don't go totally nuts.
After some popular request during and after Little Winter, I've opened up a new etsy shop for all the new jewelry and accessory pieces. Matt's been wanting to help out more so I thought this shop would be a good start. The Etsy shop name is Twigs Etc.
Basically, everything is by Twigs & Honey but it's all the "other" pretty things that needed their own special place. :) There will be lots of new designs filling up this little, new etsy shop soon... just in time for the holidays! Lots of great stocking stuffers and treats for yourself. I'll also be revamping the main Twigs & Honey and Twigscent websites shortly to create a more streamlined web experience. Lots of new developments around the corner. I think the next couple months are going to be some of the busiest yet, but I am so excited for 2011! I cannot wait to share everything new with you!
For now, be sure to visit the new Twigs Etc. Etsy shop for those feather charm necklaces...


Buy now at Twigs Etc. HERE.

NEW! Twigs & Honey hand dyed gradient feather necklace.

Time to go eat some yummy grub! Hope you enjoyed... literally took these for all the blog followers! :) :)
Extra special lady...
Thank you for all the lovely comments on the "extra special" feather capelet previously! If you were curious as to where it fluttered away to, here's one of the prettiest sneak peaks...

Solid perfume lockets in the Etsy shop...
Posted on | Monday, November 15, 2010 | 6 Comments

I have just 3 solid perfume lockets remaining after Little Winter and I'm making them available through my Twigscent Etsy shop! I hope to have more soon, but for now, there are 2 with hand dyed blue silk ribbons and 1 with a pink hand dyed silk ribbon. Each will come in a gift box with a travel size eau de parfum of Rumpledcake which makes it great for gift giving! I have some feather necklaces and wood clips to add to a new etsy shop but etsy was acting up and not letting me set it up, so I'll try to have those up and ready tomorrow or later this week. :)

Feather necklaces to come...
Favorite commercial ever...
Posted on | Thursday, November 11, 2010 | 3 Comments
I just can't get over the Geico Piggy commercial. I am sure you've seen it a hundred times already, but I just love it so much. It never gets old. Matt has to endure my "wee, wee's" everytime that commercial comes on.
Okay, that was totally random. :P But that piggy is so cute... slightly creepy.
I had stomach flu for the last few days and am almost better... maybe it's making me a little loopy. ;)
Little Winter Photos!
Posted on | Monday, November 8, 2010 | 9 Comments
Okay! So here is my embarrassingly small collection of photos from the amazing Little Winter Market (read previous post). I snapped these before the big rush of visitors in about 20 seconds. The lovely ladies have started a great Flickr group for Little Winter though, so definitely stop by HERE for more, prettier photos! :)


BTW, I really loved a mirror at Anthropologie.com but couldn't justify the cost, so I found the one you see in this photo on eBay.com for less than $30! What a find!

I had another couple jumbo poster prints by Elizabeth Messina, not pictured in this photo.

I wish I could have snapped more photos!! I loved all the vendors in attendance and really loved talking with all the wonderful visitors. Thank you so much for all the support. Let's all push for another Little Winter next year... what do you think??
*I should add that I sheltered in the car Sunday so that I would not forever be known as "vomit girl". I was so *lucky* to have had many plastic baggies with me randomly. I promise you that it was really with everyone else's best interest in mind. ;)
