Etsy

Just FYI, we are slowly (yes, very slowly) getting our Etsy shop built up. We welcome custom orders too. So if you see something you like, but need it to be a little different, just ask and we will see what we can do. We specialize in papercrafting, and fabric flowers with a vintage flair. This is a photo of one of our recent listings :)

No class charge for those that have already taken the class. 2:00-4:00pm
It’s been a while since we’ve had a guest artist/crafter featured in our newsletter, so I’m excited to have this to share with you from Jessica Wyckoff! Jessica makes the tutus and tutu bags we sell in the shop and many of the hair bows, flowers, headbands, flip flops, hats, and necklaces. Here is her storyJ:

“I started making hair bows after trying to find reasonably priced, yet cute hair accessories for my daughter. I took the leap and ordered some ribbon and finally got started on making my own. After about a month I got the hang of it and have enjoyed it since. I love working with different styles of ribbon, and fabric and tulle! It's been a little over a year since I have started and I still am learning new techniques and styles and am always looking forward to my next project! My daughter is clearly my inspiration and participates in picking out what she likes and how she wants to put her bows together. I would definitely say that this so far has been a very positive and fun experience for me!
Excited for summer parties and celebrations? We are! We have a video DIY tutorial for you this month on making tissue poms to decorate for almost any occasion. We sell various colors of tissue paper in the shop and can order in almost any color. If you don’t want to make them yourself, we will custom make them for you, but please get your order in in plenty of time as we currently have 80 to make! Prices vary based on size and type of tissue paper, but our extra large tissue poms are usually around $2.75. Here is the link to the video we made on how to make them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvaKIOoGRKM&feature=g-upl

We wish a belated Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers, we wish a blessed future to all graduates, and a special thanks to everyone for being such awesome customers! We are so blessed and encouraged by you and your creativity!

Window Display

Here are a few snapshots of our windows. And yes, the glare is terrible so it's hard to see what is going on. Sorry about that!
