Following the favorites trail

Today I did a little thing I like to call "following the favorites trail" on Etsy. I can usually find some pretty amazing things this way as opposed to using the search function, where it can become quite overwhelming to wade through so many-- for lack of a better word-- unattractive items. Here are a few of my favorites I've chosen from looking through others' favorites lists...

recycled lambswool slippers, from woolybaby

butterfly mobile from royalbuffet

bib necklace from theshophouse

NEW Summer Designs




I'm so excited to share a handful of new invitation and save-the-date designs I will be adding to my shop within the next few weeks. Some are designs you have seen before and are familiar with, and others are brand spankin', hot off the presses new!

Can you tell I've gotten a lot of my recent inspiration from orchids?


Stay tuned.

Logo Design

I'm considering offering logo design in my shop. I know there are a lot of sellers who offer monograms (that all look eerily similar to me), but there are very few who offer custom designed logos. I just did this one with orchids in a vase, and I loved how it turned out!

Find me on 1000 markets

If you're ever in the neighboorhood, stop on by my shop





I'm apart of the "ever after" market that includes many other talented wedding vendors. Best of all the site and markets are juried, so only the most eye catching vendors and items gets chosen.

Using Yellows

Yellow is such a popular color this year, I thought I would share some of my favorite yellows.


I love this etsy front page treasury. The curator uses yellow so subtly.





Some of my favorite flowers are yellow. Forsythia blooms in the Spring, and Craspedia or "billy button" can be dried and used indefinitely.












Yellow makes a good match for colors like grey, dusty pink, eggplant, or chartreuse
