Going to go make some tea and then some fabric flowers! I found some amazing fabric from Joanns sale bin the other day and I cannot wait to show them to you. Anyone else craving california rolls?

Thrush

Thrush vintage on etsy is lovely and fresh. Mostly vintage but sometimes handmade. Lots of prettiness!

Sneak peek fleuret

fleuret, my etsy shop will be open and items for purchase tonight. I'll be adding new items daily. for now, here is a sneak peek! Seriously I hope you will love them as much as I enjoyed coming up with them.

Nice package

source

There is nothing like a nice package. Whether you sell online or have your own store the packaging should be just as lovely as the goods you sell. I can remember ordering holiday cards off of the internet last year and along with the cards came- a bookmark, a hand sewn envelope, a thank you notice with my name in it and someone's actual handwriting and ribbons that I still have to this day. I will be ordering my holiday cards from them again this year (and probably every year after that). The presentation is so important. Check our nice package- if anything you'll gain a little inspiration.

Erika Hendrix

Browsing through N.E.E.T. magazine and I'm absolutely delighted to stumble across miss Erika Hendrix. I'm obsessed with dreamy neutrals and pastels right now. I just want to see everyone running around in baby blue ribbons, frayed muslin and black heels. Happy Thursday!

An throws

Sometimes you just need something soft to fall on. Hehe, get it? Anthropologie is getting ready for the holidays and stocking up on fluffs! Needle point to prints- there is seriously no better way to complete the look of a room than a lovely throw pillow.

Oak glen 2009

Oak glen 2009. Every October we like to head out to Riley's apple orchard with some family to pick apples, romp through the pumpkin patch and take photos. Here are a couple of magical ones I'd like to share with you. I'll be posting photos taken on my flickr account.

Snowy blooms

Being half native american and half english- my darling husband could not be more irritated at our cultures terrible habit of overlooking thanksgiving (his words- not mine). Although I cannot wait for his mothers Indian stuffing- I have to admit I am already (although secretly) a bit giddy for the mistletoe this year! Snowy blooms are on my mind, enjoy!

Personal Update no.1

Hooray! My new anthropologie catalog came today, along with my victoria trading co. catalog! Lots and lots of new inspiration. I've been working hard to bring you some really delightful new pieces for my etsy shop, fleuret. I've been thinking about it- and I think that I'd like to have the shop up and running by Friday, November 13th! I think that is the date that I'll shoot for. Also, I'd really like to make it to the BUST's holiday Craftacular at the echoplex in Los Angeles. I'm hoping that after the first of the year and a couple more craft fairs under my belt- I'll feel confident enough to purchase a booth for fleuret at fairs from LA to Portland. I'm really excited about the new pieces and it's taking all of me not to take pictures and show you right now! I suppose we'll have to wait and see how people respond closer to the middle of November.

Scents i'm loving

kate spade, chanel, marc jacobs, oiseau

Anyone can tell you how strong my sense of smell is. Truly my strongest sense- I long for lovely scents. Right now I am digging some pretty, pretty parfums from designers to silky florals. I am so excited for the holidays and to showcase my new love affairs. If only you could post scratch and sniff on a blog!
