Vintage Wedding #1


This week, I'm going to be picking out accessories for a vintage style wedding, stay tuned each day to browse my picks! Today I am featuring a beautiful reconstructed 1950's style vintage wedding dress at Lynn's Rags. I love the little details and soft layers! Her vision is as inspiring as her reconstructed creations:

"My vision is simple, to take vintage clothing and turn it into something modern and wearable. In a society ruled by trends I fight for individuality. I value the power of expressing oneself through what you wear."

Do pop by her shop today, she has some wonderful everyday wear also!

Breathe

I am working on a new line of jewelry, art pieces and graphics for my shops (No, it's not too much to juggle!) and trying to manage a million other things. I made some time today to edit a photo I took at the park a month ago. I have a folders of photos all waiting to be prettied up, so I promised myself to work on at least one per day. We'll see how that goes!

You can drop by my flickr account to see the 'before & after' of this photo. I like seeing the transformation side by side, tell me what you think!

(Back to work! :)

Etsy Seller: Moon Maiden Soap & Sundries


The owner of Moon Maiden, Dana, made a sweet offer to feature ads for free on her blog. To return the favor, I am featuring her beautiful products on my blog today! A little bit more about her business:

"We are a husband and wife team living along the Lakeshore in West Michigan.We make all of our soap in small batches using the finest vegetable oils we can find by the Cold Process method. The bars are each hand cut and cured a minimum of 4 weeks for an exceptionally mild, long-lasting, hard bar of soap!"

The Caribbean Coconut Soy Jar Candle sounds like a real treat and healthy too as 100% soy jar candles are often easier-tolerated by those with asthma or allergies. There are a variety of lovely scents to choose from, go pick out something for yourself today!


Do take a look at Dana's blog for product news and updates!
She has a separate blog for an explanation of the ingredients used in her products.
