A bounty of these beauties will be perfect for decorating this fall season. Last year I found these plush velvet pumpkins and little did I know that Kristin and I would be adding them to our shop. I found them piled high in a quaint little florist shop. I soon discovered they were made right here in Minnesota! After meeting the owner and artist Monya Kampa, who created these original Plush Pumpkins, we knew not only we found the first item to put in our shop, but also an inspiring and artistic new friend! The velvets on … [Read more...]

My husband brought this beauty of a vintage frame home from a renovation job he was doing and I decided to turn it into a cork board for my office.

Fancy Friday~Fabric Inspiration
By on July 8, 2011 with
Well, I could wander around here all day. Many times I have. There is something about floor to warehouse ceiling stack of bolts and bolts of fabric that calms me. For awhile ~ until I start buzzing with ideas. While wandering this maze of isles I find inspiration. The inspiration to build ideas, tablecloths, curtains and pillows. The more projects I think of the more I start to giggle. I'm giddy now, high on ribbons and remnants and linens. There are plans for pillows and streamers. Then I … [Read more...]

Fancy Friday Hats ~ Kentucky Derby Style

And so we didn't. Kristin made hers... And, I made mine... On our first evening at the GE Momsperience we were treated to hat making led by the lovely ladies from Dee's Crafts. What a treat. It was fun to get to know everyone's personal style and flair right off the bat! Word on the street or at least in the 21c Museum Hotel is that later on … [Read more...]
Fancy Friday~Favorite Projects
By on March 25, 2011 with
The snow is melted (in some parts) and the crocuses are peeking their heads. What does that mean? Time to get inspired to create! We wanted to share a few of our favorite projects right now. Always on the hunt for a new wreath to grace our doors, this project from Beautiful Nest would be delicious with a rose or yellow velvet ribbon for the Spring. It's all about texture. We love these burlap rosettes from FabuLESSly Crafty. Anything burlap makes our hearts sing. Since we have a thing for chalkboards...and … [Read more...]
Gift Wrapping & Organizing Tips
By on December 21, 2010 with
Gift wrapping is one of my favorite things to do. I love the creative process of selecting ribbons, bows and wrap. I love preparing my gift for presentation and thinking of the anticipation the look of it will bring. The chaos I create when creating or particularly when gift wrapping...well let's just say, this is an area that I have worked hard on to change. This year I found buckets, baskets and totes to calm my creative chaos. Because you see I have a history... One of Kristin and my favorite old stories is … [Read more...]
