Cherry Blossom Beadworks!

I'm so happy to announce the launch of a new company!! The owners of Gardenia Floral Design have a fun, new venture: Cherry Blossom Beadworks!! They are now creating custom hand-beaded hair pieces, bouquets, and corsages for brides & wedding parties. From their website: "We are making all our pieces by hand, one at a time, in the U.S. with sterling silver, Swaroski crystals, glass beads, and the best materials that we can find for you. Keepsakes that will never turn to dust, inspired by nature & by each bride." And I love their little motto: "We think every bride deserves something sparkly & special for her wedding." 

Every piece I've seen is really beautiful and unique- they're using peacock feathers, ostrich feathers, amazing velvet ribbons- really nice quality materials. I'm so excited for them!

And I'm also proud to say that I created the logo for them, with the help of artwork from Talie Shove of Paisley Papers. Great photos by Melissa Pepin and ZoomWorks.

Play Guitar!

Our little guy loves playing guitar with my husband, so I made him a little stuffed one that he can play out of a test print t-shirt from Satisfactory Printing (originally an AthFest shirt). I just cut out the guitar and matched with another fun fabric and away we go! Here are a few photos of him rocking out!

Pretty Table Setting

The sweet gals over at Beauty Everyday recently had a lovely lunch at Athens' finest, 5&10. Here are some pretty pictures (taken by Rinne Allen).

 

Pretty Music Studio

Our friends built out their detached storage shed into this beautiful music  studio. Both Amanda and Bain play music and have kids, so it's a great place where they can turn up the volume while not waking the kids. My favorite feature are the floors and the wood trim. They are reclaimed wood that Bain acquired from Athens' local floor guy, Doug Booher.
