Through blogland,I have recently heard about this cool little flower/gift shop in Chicago. It looks so very unique and trendy. I love it when flower shops are mixed with unique giftware that compliments it. Check out some pics...and their website: http://www.asraigarden.com/home.html
LOVE the mix of flowers in the bouquet above.
Beautiful!
I've been following the site of Rebecca Sower for a while now. You know how there are just some people that you can relate to...that seem to pump out the same crafty things that you really enjoy and appreciate. Well, that happened this week on her site and I thought I would pass along all the creative goodness she shared this week. I wish I had thought of these all by myself!
Here is what she say at the beginning of her RED THREAD series:
I woke up yesterday morning thinking about red thread. Odd, but true. Maybe it's because the yummy red strawberries are in season here in Tennessee. Or maybe it's because yesterday was my late seamstress grandmother's birthday. Who knows, but we creatives don't have to have reasons for our constantly spinning minds do we?
PART ONE
A cute and simple gift tag...adorable.
PART TWO
I like this idea of taking an article of clothing that you already own and making it into something a little more special and unique. And, the dress form is pretty cool too!
Love the button detail.
PART THREE
Writing with thread. I think this one might be a little more tricky than it looks...depending on what type of machine you use. This would be so sweet framed.
PART FOUR
Crocheted red thread necklace with beads....I like. You could do a bracelet as well.
PART FIVE
Vintage doily applique...enhanced with red thread. I think this would be cute attached to a bag or a t shirt, or ....anything.
So...there you have it...five days of read thread fun. If you want some more details on any of Rebecca's projects, head on over to her blog....it's fun! http://rebeccasower.typepad.com/rs_out_of_hand/
I had the pleasure of creating some really fun bouquets for a wedding last weekend.
The bride, Sara, had a really great image of what she wanted for her special day. I LOVE it when brides know exactly what they want....makes my job so much easier.
All her maids were wearing black so we could have lots of fun with colour. Hot pink gerbera daisies, green fugi mums, pink calla lilies, green hypericum berries...and lots of fun curled leaves and grasses. Nice and clean and simple!
