Handmade Doll + Vintage Tea Party Photoshoot

If you follow me on instagram you might have known about the little vintage tea party doll photoshoot I recently styled for Cotton Candy Dollies.

Cotton Candy Dollies is a local Arizona handmade doll company who makes the most AMAZING dolls.  My friend Ashley Hall Photography was the Photographer for the shoot, and she did a beautiful job capturing the feel of the shoot I wanted.

I really am so blessed to rub shoulders with talented beyond belief people.

Here are some of my favorite shots from the day.

Instasale + a new sign!

This scripture is one of my very favorites, and it is such a sweet reminder for all of us to have in our homes. It will be joining my illusive but growing etsy shop next week.

To celebrate I'm having an instasale on instagram.

Sale ends next week. Once it hits my shop it will be more expensive, so snatch one up while you can!

A favorite message &new in my Etsy shop.

"Love grows best in little houses with fewer walls to separate. 
Where you eat and sleep so close together, you can't help but communicate.
And if we had more room between us, think of all we'd miss. 
Love grows best in houses just like this."

24"x24" wood, hand painted, distressed sign.
Grey lettering.
Comes with hanging hardware.

I am in love with this sign, what a sweet message. 

You can now purchase this sign in my Etsy shop, {here}.

[SALE!!] Chevron Frames

We have been on a little bit of a roller coaster the last few days. I'll get more into it later, but we suddenly found out that we're moving in the very near future. Crazy I know. But my crazy life works to your benefit! With moving and all, I want to get rid of my stock of chevron frames.

You will notice that the price has been significantly reduced. Also, I have changed the way they were listed in my shop a little bit. I have added photos of the specific colors that I have available to be shipped immediately. That means they will get to you in 5 business days! How awesome is that!

If you have been thinking about buying one I suggest you buy NOW because these are the last of my chevron frames &I will not be making any more. 

These frames are such a statement piece, they are 24"x24" with an 11 inch opening for your art. They are all hand constructed & hand painted. I really love a grouping of these on the wall.

You can take a look at the colors, and purchase them {here}.

Chevron Frames in my etsy shop!

I just listed these awesome chevron frames in my etsy shop.

They are 24" x 24" so basically HUGE and super awesome.

My friend Nikki from Grand Design Co. has been selling these, but she has too many other projects to keep up with the demand... so she taught me a little bit of her awesome ways.

I'm so excited because I love them so much!

They come in either 

black

grey

yellow

pink

or peacock blue.

You can pick one up in my shop here.

Paddington Way Decorative Pillow Line

Something I love so much are throw pillows. 

Pretty pillows make a room, and I love to change them out all too often. It's amazing what changing out a few pillows can do to freshen up or completely change a space.

I finished a few pillows that will be in my shop. There will be more to come.

All pillows are made with upholstery grade fabric on the front, are backed with natural muslin, and are convenient envelope closures to make switching them simple.

The standard size is 16x16 but I would be willing to make it a 18x18 if you prefer that size.

Vintage inspired chic floral print.

I love this Hydrangea print. The colors are warm enough for fall but are still fresh.

Black & White vintage inspired print.

Retro love birds hand stenciled pillow. This one starts at 18x18.

Let me know what you think, if there are any specific colors you would like to see in my collection just let me know :). I love fabric shopping!

Introducing the Etsy Store {Paddington Way}

If you are looking for lovenotes. Well... you are here. BUT I am changing the name to go along with my new Etsy shop. I haven't changed the URL yet... but it's coming! I will remind everyone plenty of times before I actually make the switch so don't worry!

I am so excited for this! I have been dreaming of opening my own little Etsy shop for a year now. And we are finally ready for it! For the next 2 weeks I am going to be highlighting pieces that will be in the shop. After that, the shop [ virtual ] doors will open! 

I am in love with what I have chosen as the name for this shop.

The street I grew up on as a kid was named...  you guessed it. 

Paddington Way.

My family had SO many happy &wonderful memories on that street. It was a good neighborhood with lots of fun neighborhood kids. We played, we laughed, we grew together as a family. I lived there the longest out of any home. My family has changed so much since we lived on that street, we live in different states, each of us are beginning to have our own families now. I often think back to the time we spent in that house on that street &all the happiness that was shared there.

It holds a special place in my heart &now I get to share it with the world!

Okay, well the world- maybe eventually.

But for now just my blog world &that is PLENTY good enough for me.

So stay tuned this week as I get to share some of the lovelies that will be in  my shop.
