organdy blooming

opps, september 23rd?  my my.

here we are two weeks into one of my favorite months and i still haven't let you in on this project.

no more!

introducing organdy blooms - each unique and made from antique or vintage organdy collars bedecked with vintage buttons and lovely feathers.  all my brooches are made with both pinbacks and haircombs so the possibilities for wearing them are endless! 

i adore putting them together.

 

 

these three were made for a special order but a fresh batch will be making their way into the shop soon!
 

such great heights

still no sign of wednesday's post.

i can't firgure it out so we'll just have to move onward and upward.

i've been working on a bunch of things this past week and am hoping to get in a photoshoot at the end of the day.  if i manage, i'll have some really fun things to share next week.  i have been bursting with excitment over the results!

but in the mean time, here's a sneak peek:

eeekkkk!  i am so in love with this!

ok.  my lips are sealed until next week.

but with good reason; check out the new Pause Tea Set the just landed in the shop.

(love)







also, my first e-mail newsletter went out today!  this is a great little note letting you know about new pieces, an inspiration from Paris photo in each one, special offers and discounts, and, in this debut edition, a new product sneak peek before it hits the blog!

oh it's good!

so let me know if you'd like to be on the list - it's a lovely thing to have delivered to your (e)mailbox.

a custom silhouette of you or a loved one mounted an a vintage appliqued organdy round and vintage linen.  so beautiful, i nearly kept it myself!

thanks for your comments!

there is so much more to come in the shop - definately stick around.

but, after a random drawing, we have a winner for the cashmere thread:



Sarah of GeekxNerd was pulled out of the hat (ok, bowl)!

so, have to keep it short and sweet: i have a plane to catch.

happy monday!

Grand Re-Opening!

the first batch of new gloaming designs lovelies are in the store!!!

i'm really excited about these new products and the best part is, these are only the beginning.  i have so many more items that will be unvieled this spring (that is, if i can keep from spilling the beans first!).  the best ways to keep on top of these happenings is to subscribe to my blog and shop RSS feeds if you use a reader, or to send me your e-mail address to join my mailing list.  or both!

in any case.

i'm so pleased to be re-opening the shop, i have something for one of you.

my first blog
GIVEAWAY



i'll randomly choose a reader to win this vintage French cashmere thread and a handmade heart ornament (made from a vintage French book and glass glitter!).

just leave me a comment telling me how you would like to use this thread (decor? sewing? gift? something else creative) and i'll pick a number Sunday night.  so leave a comment before noon EST.

and
of course,

happy weekend!

Sneak

spring has sprung in Paris - it is strange to a Mainer who doesn't usually see spring for quite a few more weeks actually.  but, in honor of all these sneak peeks of new growth around the city, here are just a few sneak peeks of what will soon be the Spring 2009 collection in the the gloaming designs shop:




are you ready?
