Wedding on the Farm - Rustic style wedding inspiration

Hello everyone,

Wedding season is upon us so I thought I would share with you all some wedding inspiration with this rustic style wedding.

The venue for the wedding is a beautiful old barn on a farm which has been decorated with white roses and green foliage, lengths of draped fabric and sacking/burlap layed on the floor to form the aisle. The wedding dress is a heavily embroidered and beaded dress and the bridesmaids wear green which matches the rustic theme.

I thought my rustic style wedding tags would work beautifully with this theme and would be great as either place names for the guests' seating arrangement, wedding favour tags or beautiful as wedding wish tree tags with the idea being that each guest writes a message to the newly married couple on a tag and attaches it to a branch of a tree or a prop such as a wire bird cage. A wonderful keepsake from the day and something to look back on in many years to come as well as being something which would look great in your wedding photos!

Tuesday = Shop day (or so my new blogging schedule says!)

Hello everyone!

Well I am trying to stick to a new blogging schedule to make sure that I do actually blog as I my blog has been rather sadly neglected over the last few months and posts have been a bit few and far between! The world's most unorganised person (thats me if you didn't get where this was going...!) is trying to get organised and I decided that a blogging schedule was just the remedy. So I have decided Tuesday are going to be the day in which I show you what I have been up to in the shop and share any super exciting shop news! Wish me luck in trying to stick to this!!

The items from my shop that I am sharing today are my handmade tags. I have been super busy preparing new designs for the shop and also re-photographing some of my old designs (which I showed you a before and after shot on the post a few days ago).

I am rather pleased with how they have turned out and really like the new designs which I have in the shop.

Floral tea cup tags to match my vintage tea cups! I sell these in different sizes and do custom orders for any amount required but they are currently stocked in 10, 20 and 30

Mission was to make as many tea related items in my shop as possible! This is one of my new designs and I am really pleased with how it came out, so pretty! I thought these would be lovely for a vintage style wedding or a tea party! Stocking these in packs of 100 but also do custom orders for any amount

What do you all think? Do you like the new design and what do you think of the new shop photography?

Fashion Inspiration!

Hello everyone!

Have you ditched the winter woollies yet and got out your summer wardrobe?! I thought I would share with you some fashion inspiration and summer trends. Go BOLD this summer with bright colours and bold prints. I love this outfit selection and it would look wonderful for an afternoon picnic or for meeting friends for lunch!
