Candlelight and Crystals






This is one of my most favorite nights of the whole year. It is a night of great fellowship, a captivating speaker, and best of all chocolate is involved. My sister and I get to invite 6 ladies and set a beautiful table for them to sit and enjoy the evening with us. Every year our table scape is different from the year before. This year we used a beautiful candle and crystal centerpiece that was handcrafted by Jennifer's husband. It was just perfect surrounded by fresh greenery. A fabulous time was had by all.

Vintage Wedding Decor

Vintage Decor

I know I promised this a long time ago, but here it is our funky bowls and platters. These are great accents for any wedding.

EXCUSE OUR MESS

Once upon a time, this is how our studio looked. Whimsically decorated for Christmas. I would be ashamed to show you the studio at this moment. We have been so incredibly busy that we are busting at the seems. We have a table full of chalkboard table numbers ready to go out and we have another table of wire table number holders and place holders ready to be packed up. In every corner we have our vintage finds stashed and stacked up ready to photograph. The floor right now has all kinds of random boxes scattered around, packing material, and pieces of wire. We never intend to be untidy, but we are always rushing and our time seems to just fly away.

In addition to our studio being a flat mess, our website and Etsy store have suffered a little bit as well. Like I said we are having growing rapidly pains. Despite all the chaos and mess, we are determined to get the orders out in time!!! We even take last minute rush orders and are able to get them there in the nick of time.

So as we grow , our website at times may need some attention and my blogs may be sporadic, but I assure you that is because we have the bride in mind and get the orders out first and sometimes it is a ton of orders.

Thanks for stopping by! See you on the flip side! Dawn

Rustic Copper







We have a lot of requests for copper wire but because it is extremely pricey we aren't able to make an affordable holder with it. We have tried and tried to age wire to create that copper look. Finally we did it. This wire has been aged just right to create that antique copper color. How exciting!

PERSONALIZED WEDDING CHALKBOARDS AND FRAMES





These adorable personalized chalkboards also double as picture frames. You can use the chalkboard for a table number or sign at your wedding then afterwards frame you favorite wedding photo. Each one comes with both chalkboard and glass. It is super cool that they are freestanding so they can be easily used on any table or counter top. If you would like to order some of these awesome chalkboards for your wedding click here.
Thanks,
Dawn

Woodland + Whimsical = Enchanted

Woodland + Whimsical = Enchanted

Had I known when I was a little girl that weddings would evolve and become an artistic display created by the bride and groom, my dreams would have been a lot different. Even 11 years ago when I got married weddings were just starting to creep outside of the box. I love that happy couples have the freedom to use their imagination and reach for their wildest dreams. After all, the day belongs to them.
We also enjoy that same freedom as designers. Combining and blending different themes and styles is what we do best. Our signature piece, the swirl place card holder, makes this rustic woodland centerpiece look so enchanted and the pop of color brings everything up a notch.
Be on the look out for our holiday photo shoot. If we have no bridal emergencies this week (meaning a bride has last minute needs and needs them stat), you should be seeing them this week. So, if your big event is in December come back and check it out!
Thanks for stopping by! Dawn

A Perfect Pair


I apologize for my lack of blogging the past couple of weeks. We have had some growing rapidly pains. This is only a good thing even though it has completely exhausted us. Every day has had its own unique challenges and I won't even go there. The only thing that makes it possible every day is the relationship, both personal and business, between my sister and I. Thus the title of this post "A Perfect Pair." I feel lucky and will never take for granted the unconditional love and understanding that makes us reach for our dreams everyday. We are constantly moving forward and our dreams get bigger everyday. Just keep an eye on us to see what is coming next! By the way, the rustic picks are available in out Etsy store.

FUNKY FURNITURE













Sometimes I think that we are just nuts or have some crazy addiction to furniture. You would think it would be enough to spend all day in the studio. Nope!! Jennifer and I are always on the hunt for unique finds to turn into great little pieces for you home. Most Friday mornings we sneak out for a few minutes to scope out the local yard sales. This is our little break after a busy week in the studio. These are the pieces that I just finished and listed on Craigslist. I really love the little bench. It is the perfect size for kids. Jen has some really cool pieces that I will share with you later. If you like these pieces check them out on Craigslist. Just click on the item below and it will bring you to the link. Thanks for reading! Dawn

Outside of the Box










We always strive to go beyond the ordinary. So when we decided to start crafting chalkboards we wanted to make them a little different and make them a keepsake for the bride and groom. Well, we first chose to craft them from reclaimed wood and make each piece slightly different from the other. Because the wood is so beautiful, we wanted to make sure the happy couple could enjoy the frames forever. So, we decided to offer a set that includes the table number chalkboards, a chalkboard sign, and glass for them all so they may be used as frames. What a great way to display your favorite wedding photos!! The set are available now in our Etsy Store.

Awesome Find







So in our quest for the latest greatest treasures, we came across an old looking machine with lots of little parts at an estate sale. After a closer look, we noticed these beautiful cedar boxes. Of course looking for a bargain, we were able to get them for next to nothing. I will tell you we did not buy the machine and all the curious little pieces. It is totally normal for us to research any finds when we get home to see exactly what kind of treasures we have purchased. We quickly realized that for $35.00 we should have bought the machine and all the parts. It was an old letter press that is still worth a lot of money! We grabbed our purses and keys and jumped in the car and headed back to the estate sale. You probably know how this ends. Someone beat us to the punch!! Moral of the story "Research what you find with one hand on the unknown and the other on your Droid!!"
We really want to sell these great boxes to a collector, but they are just so darn cute we haven't gotten that far. I imagine them at a rustic vintage wedding as centerpieces with beautiful flowers peeking out.
I just wanted to share that little story. It's not often we get the privilege to go to an estate sales but next time we are going to be ready!!

New Burlap Bags




New!! Here we go again. We didn't want to limit ourselves to just reception decor. These burlap bags are great for aisle decor but of course can also be used for the reception. This size is 4x8, but we most definitely be glad to do custom orders. I just love the rustic wire handle. You could also hang a cute little tag off one of the whimsical swirls. They are available in our Etsy store. Bulk discounts are available!!


Gold Rush







We were lucky enough to find this brilliant gold wire. Now all of favorite holders can also be made in gold!! The same pieces look totally different much more formal in the gold wire. We are excited to be able to serve more brides. All of the items are currently listed in our Etsy store.
