Wedding Delightness

Listening to "Hold On" by Neko Case.

Ok, first of all I cannot believe it has been over a month since I've posted. The Etsy shop has taken off and kept me super busy this past month. Very exciting.


Secondly, I had to make sure that delightness was an actual word- it is. Paired with certain words it elicits a sort of satisfaction- wedding blues. It's been very busy these last few weeks. I'm getting the invitations together to send out. I cannot believe we are almost 4 months away. Christmas AND the wedding right next to each other. We're getting down to the wire soon.

I'm adding more things as I type. I've reached out into my treasure chest of buttons and brooches to pull out a new line a jewelry in my store. Inspired by vintage commercials/products, I've aligned myself with the dark side of the empire. My focus is visual aethetics. I know people love to match their jewelry with that perfect outfit but I prefer to match an outfit with my piece of jewelry. Something you can wear with anything. I'll be displaying my work pretty soon before Christmas *crossing fingers* so keep a close eye on the shop.

In other news, I've officially gone retro. I picked up some old vinyl records for free from a neighbor and am now deciding what craft I should use them for. Serving platter? Clock? Mosaic vase? Display? Hmmm...

I'm also looking for any tanneries around the Florida area- central or west? I feel hopeless..

to be continued.. I hope for the sake of tanneries.. ^..^
