falling down the rabbit hole
hi guys! yesterday i posted some of the pieces that will go onto the new boutique (if it ever gets launched :)
someone asked me where the pieces were from so i thought i’d share a little trade info about where i’m looking for products and ideas. i get trade mags and visit their sites. there are always leads to fantastic small boutique
.
companies who work behind the scenes, selling wholesale
like these from beth lacefield
of course i’m also making prototypes and this company will make one of’s for you
impressionsmag.com/impressions
i look in places like these : www.textilesource.com
so on goes the search, it’s definitely a rabbit hole…these are some of the iron pieces i fell for
.
to keep things moderne
ok well i better get off this laptop cause it’s sure a wonderland in there and i’m on the verge of having no life! have a great saturday, à bientôt!
oh and this last one..it’s not necessarily perfect yet, but with the right tweaking…
ps a friend asked me about cards….are any of you talented bloggers making or selling holiday cards? i do know jen at made by girl always has something special! anyone else you can recommend?
