So I've been away awhile...sorry. Too busy selling on Etsy! Which is a good thing, right? I love Etsy. I have never had so much fun selling online! The garlands I'm making have been a huge hit and so many people are buying for weddings, wedding showers, receptions and baby showers! Now I'm getting orders for people's bedrooms, kids rooms and my most recent project is a dust ruffle for a baby crib. I love the garlands. When they're all done and I'm carrying it across the room to put it in the shipping box, I feel like I'm carrying a beautiful expensive wedding gown! I recently made a garland that was 24 feet wide and 6 feet long. It strung almost the whole way across the craft room!

 

This was a shabby chic doorway curtain...cool idea huh!

                                                     Soft...pretty...feminine...

 

                                                         I called this lemon lime parfait...

A garland for a wedding backdrop... White ribbons, laces, silks and satins....

Beautiful in any setting, but perfect for weddings, a floor length garland would make a wonderful back drop for the Bride and Grooms table, add sparkle to the cake table or provide privacy for the Bride while she is preparing for the wedding. Hang them in shorter lengths and on dowel rods and scatter them over the dance floor ceiling. Hang them at the end of each buffet or guest table for a striking decoration at the reception. Put them at the alter, in doorways, over windows... the ideas are endless! Add different colored strands, beads or other frills for a different look or theme.

Made from strips of ripped fabric, ribbons and lace with tulle flowers, pom poms and knots. The garland is made to order, give approximately 2 weeks notice for order completion and can also be customized to color and size. The fabrics are white and off white, silky, satiny and simple cotton, fancy and classic ribbons and other pretty fabrics and notions to make this soft, flowy and OOAK! I have also shown beads and different colors on the garland to show different ideas. The garland can also be hung on a large hoop for backdrops or to hang over smaller areas.

Wedding Garland - To Die For!

I have been making garlands out of scrap fabric for birthday parties, showers, weddings and even for home decor, but this garland is by far the best one so far... sorry if I'm tooting my own horn, but I think this is gorgeous. You could add so much more to this, or nothing at all. Add seashells, accent colors to compliment your wedding colors or dried or silk flowers. Endless ideas...

I can't believe it's been since May since I've been here! I'm a doofus. Well, it it wasn't so late, I'd write now, but you''all will have to wait til tomorrow. OK, well I need to display all my garlands, so here's the best place to do it. These garlands are becoming so popular. I'm actually working on one for a wedding and it is SO pretty! I'll show that later. Here are the ones I have sold:

Wispy Slip Dress Blue Teal Navy

Exquisite slip dress in beautiful shades of blue and teal is the OOAK dress you are seeking for your upcoming event. The dress is wispy, flowy, sexy, unique and perfect for a prom, wedding or other special day or could be worn with flip flops for a beach picnic.

The base of this dress is a simple blue full slip with yards of flowing printed fabric attached above the bra line of the slip. Flowers made from sheer teal and purple fabric were added to the seam line. The fabric has 3 sections, so it opens in the front and on the sides when you walk or when a breeze blows. The original bra area of the slip remains intact, so it fits over the chest perfectly and fits nicely. The straps are adjustable. The edges of the fabric were left raw for a different look. The dress is41 inches long and the chest is 38 inches.

Finding the perfect dress for a spring dance, wedding or other special occasion can be frustrating to say the least. Finding unique, one of a kind dresses can be a a challenge, especially if you live in a small town. Isn't it devastating to arrive at an event just to see a mirror image of yourself across the dance floor! So buy a OOAK dress, upcycled, repurposed, recycled...whatever term you give it.

Yard Sale Day!

Yard sales have finally started, well for me anyway. I'm going this morning to about 8 yard sales in the area. Starting with an estate sale across town. My hubby's even going! I love it. He's as bad as me. Loves to rummage through junk. I'll post pictures later. I don't even know what I'm looking for, just looking. Check back later!

Later that day...
OK. Today was a completely sucky yard sale day. What is up with people? No antiques. No old stuff. Not even any good new stuff. I bought an old bowl that I collect, a war medal (OK, that was pretty good), 2 old slips and a shelf thing. I'll get pictures on tomorrow. I don't know. Maybe it was too early. I'll try again next weekend. I think we're gonna find an auction tomorrow.
