Vintage Valentine Journal and Purple Hemp Necklace

More new items to share with you this week. I am also planning on posting our giveaway next weekend so keep an eye out for it and enter!

I spent this week working on another journal...

 

An older vintage looking valentine cover. I love this cover it has a bunch of super cute valentine sayings on it.

 

This is a close up of the cover.

 

... and I've been working on this new purple hemp necklace...

 

 

All of these items are or will be soon on our etsy store so don't forget to check it out!

 

 

 

 

Busy Busy Bees

We have been busy this week working on some new items. I am using my creativity to make some journals/diaries, and some new jewelry!

This is my first attempt at making a cute journal:

 

 

This is a hemp choker and earring set. Choker has an antique skeleton key on it.

 

 

Hemp rings that I am working on. Eventually, I will sell these in sets, perhaps a ring and matching bracelet or maybe sets of 2 or 3 rings sold together. These are so easy to make and they are cute, too, in my opinion!

 

 

Our First Open House

Last Sunday afternoon, we held our first open house. We invited local friends to come, and enticed them into bringing a guest by offering a free gift if you brought a guest (a magnet). B made some delicious food and we held a drawing for a gift basket that was filled with various items from our shop.

The open house proved to be a success and we were quite surprised at how many sales we had, and I even got a few custom orders that I am really excited about doing. Here are a few photos from our open house.



The yummy food table that got rave reviews!

The "crowd" of shoppers.

Our table of cards. These were a big hit.



Our doggy table. One fleece dog toy that was left and some dog cards (even sympathy cards for the loss of a pet). We had 2 doggy gift baskets that sold almost immediately.

We were very happy with the turnout at our first open house and plan to do it again. We are now going to begin working on Fall and Winter/Christmas items and do a few holiday craft shows in the fall and winter. 

We have a lot of new items to show you soon and some fun things planned!
