Re-decorating the Blog

You know, I just cannot commit to one look, I just can't. I love too many styles. I'm eclectic. So I have decided to embrace my many moods and inspirations and give in to this designer's heart of mine and stop worrying about having one everlasting look - at least here on my blog!

Maybe that it's just too much fun to make new banners! Esp. with the fun and easy to use graphics from Shabby Miss Jenn Designs.

Still, I do believe that it's important to have a logo, and marketing materials that make you stand out and that are recognizable for your websites, boutiques, etc.. I'm working on that. And I think that by going through some of the changes I have played with here on my blog that I have begun to develop my own look. I will brand my company and products in some kind of consistent manner, but I still will want to incorporate some small flexibility for changing out the colors and textures to flow with the seasons and moods of my designs.

So I will compromise. I have made this background that I really like, it's textured, it's subtle, it's damask (which I obviously love!) and it doesn't clash with anything else, so that can stay. And I won't move the furniture around in here too radically. I worked to hard to figure out how to make that third column, so the structure will stay intact here too!

But I'm likely going to indulge in a new banner at least every season, maybe every month. So don't be confused if you see a new one! It's just me redecorating again!

It's Bling Friday Y'all

This weeks's theme for Pink Friday is Gotta have Bling....

... a little pink bling, maybe a little vintage bling. How about some rhinestones and pearls~ anything to please the girls!

I didn't think I'd be in on this one, but I remembered these pretty sparkly blingity blingie sequined and beaded and lame purses and hats I have! So here I am, ready for Bling Friday after all!

These bags are really pretty, really vintage and are in great condition! Enjoy and be sure to stop by the other Pink Friday MMP websites too!

New OOAK Pink Toile Cherub Tote

I just love this tote! It's so pretty and feminine! I know someone is going to claim it as theirs pretty quick but I still just had to show it off here on the blog! It is truly a One-of-a-kind ... I don't even have enough of this fabric left over to make one for myself (Waaaah!)

It may look delicate and too pretty to use, but trust me it is made to be used! It's been protected with a high grade decorator's soil, water and stain repellant and the designer Braemore fabric is already treated from the manufacturer, so this is doubly treated inside and out! If you are the lucky one to buy it... Please do enjoy using it! Go HERE for more details and ordering info. Thanks for looking!

Wonderful Whites on Pink Friday

It's once again Pink Friday and this week the MMP participating shops are offering beautiful goodies in the "Wonderful Whites' theme!

I have a few items for you on my website. A bit different this week as I did not have much time for sewing. I did handcraft these lovely White Eyelet Lavender and Rice Sachet Sets (learn more on the site!)

And I have some vintage white dress-up purses and a very vintage faux fur hat with ornate trim.

I also have two very pretty Porch Pouches, one with a white background and one with a cream background! Thanks for looking. Enjoy your shopping and be sure to visit all the participating shops at MakeMinePink.
