Pretty New Things
Finally! The Wendy Addison Collection has arrived! I ordered these beauties months ago, and it seems like I've been waiting for ages. The collection includes fanciful door swags, wall decorations, ornaments and a beautiful crown.....all dusted in silver German glass glitter. There's just something about Wendy's enchanting designs and the way they magically transform a space.
This heart is one of 5 ornament designs. The others include: a key (below), an anchor, a Fleur de lis and a horseshoe (also shown below). Each one has it's own little tag with a special sentiment.
I took one of these crowns out of inventory for myself right away. I think I may even add some ribbon streamers and millinery to it to really make it my own. (I have a hard time leaving well enough alone.)
Here is the key ornament (hanging on the pretty wallpaper pouch I bought from Lori).
This is the horseshoe ornament, which I am particularly fond of for some reason. I wish I could say it was because I have a horse or ride a horse, but I don't. I just like horseshoes and the good luck they symbolize.
In addition to the pieces I've shown here, there is a very large glittered skeleton key that hangs from a ribbon and also a large hanging Fleur de lis. Oh, and a "Merci" door swag! This collection is just delightful and very gift-able, if you're looking for something special. You can see it all here.
In other shop news, I am now ordering larger quantities of the Petite Paper Posies and am able to get a discount. This translates into a lower price for customers. They are now $5 a bouquet. I've added 2 new colors to the palette of posies, for a total of 10 yummy varieties.
The seam binding line-up has 6 new members. All 27 colors can be found right here.
Two beautiful new shades of German glass glitter have arrived: Copper Blush and Vintage Bronze. Found here.
The tulle family is happy to welcome Peach Powder Puff and Mint Julep. Perfect sherbet hues for spring and summer. See all 12 colors here.
Oh, and the Coccoina Colosso is in stock! The queen of all glue sticks. I took this picture to show the scale of all three sizes. As you can see, the Colosso is huge. It's the biggest glue stick I have ever seen, in fact!
hmmm....let's see.....what else......
Petite Leaf Trim is available in 4 new colors: white, bright green, gold and silver. They are here.
And just in time for Mother's Day, some sweet new Cupcake Trinkets!
There are several more items that I still have to photograph and upload. Time, my friends, is the only thing I'm lacking. I know it will all get done eventually, but I could get so much more accomplished if only I didn't require sleep! Hopefully, by next week I will have the rest of the merchandise on-line. That's the goal anyway......
I don't want to go without saying thank you for the birthday wishes! It was a lovely day. (and no, I did not polish off that cupcake myself!) {wink}
I love horseshoes, too, and have a little girl who rides and has a birthday in May ... just popped over to your shop to place an order! Beautiful things!

I have that Wendy Addiston Crown too - I love it! Though all that glass glitter will tarnish pretty quickly if left out all the time, but it is still beautiful! I love your idea of embellishing it...

Oh... I see lots of things I'm getting on payday! Wouldn't that key be the BEST topper to a house-warming gift? I love it all.

Hi Andrea,
My name is Ann-Denise , I frequent your shop and blog and feel that you are an inspiration to all bloggers and artists. Therefore I have presented you with an award. You can save the award as a jpeg from my site. I love the hats by the way, If I could, I would wear them everyday! I am sure my children would think I was a little cooky though!LOL
Hugs,
Ann-Denise

Happy Belated Birthday! Loved seeing all the vintage hats...I try to imagine them being worn in the past eras...sad that hats & gloves are basically nonexistent now...although, I can't imagine myself wearing them as I am minimalist in that way. lol.

I love the horse shoe too! And I'm not sure why either. It's the underlying sentiment of wishing good things to people because you believe people are good. I hope your 32nd trip around the sun is astounding!!!

Hi, Andrea - the little horseshoe arrived today, and it's perfect! Even nicer than your very pretty picture. My daughter will love it!
