Well, I finally finished uploading everything. Holy Cannoli! I haven't done one of these massive updates in a long, long time. I have this feeling of renewed energy, and thought it was time to tend to my neglected shop. So, here goes....
Flocked Petite Posies... I finally found them in the soft sherbet colors we all love. 6 scrumptious shades, and the best part is they're flocked. You can find them here.
Other new items in The Millinery include 10 new blossoms of velvet and pure silk. Such as these:
And these too:
And these velvet beauties:
New ribbons include Dreamy Dupioni Silks in 6 seaside-inspired colors:
They're 3/4" wide, bias-cut, with a slight shimmer. And they are just lovely. Truly. They'll fray if you rub the edges, giving you a fabulous vintage look.
If you're not familiar with the term, here's a little Dupioni 101: Dupioni means “duplicate”, describing the process where Double Nested Cocoons are specifically harvested to make this special silk. The cocoons create tiny bumps or slubs in the yarn when it's spun, resulting in the beautiful uneven texture that makes Dupioni Silk unique. {hey, I guess I did retain some knowledge from all of those textile classes in college.}
Speaking of ribbons....the velvet ribbons are now available in a wider 7/8" width {in 4 of the most popular velvet colors}:
Lots of new products in the Paper Treats section, including.....
Pretty Masking Tape. Love this stuff.
I've been sticking this tape on anything and everything lately.
As you can see....
Playing with color combinations. I hope you love these as much as I do.
There are also new File Folders with pretty, collaged prints....
and 4 beautiful wood-block Stamp Sets....
You may have already seen these Sweet Treats Gift Tags, which have been on the site for a few months now, but were never pictured here on my blog....
The hinged tin itself is eye candy, but look at the tags! Petit fours and cakes and bonbons galore. True Love for the sweet tooth!
You'll also find the coordinating Sweet Treats Glittered Post Cards....
The tags are also available in this set, called Pastel Greetings.
I couldn't resist purchasing these adorable childrens' flash cards. These make wonderful, nostalgic wall art in a playroom or nursery. Such a cute gift item as well.
Let's see, what else?
OH! The French Marshmallow Wands! Some of you spied them in my recent post about the pink Whoppers. They were there in the background, and I got a few emails asking what they were. They are foot-long marshmallows, in raspberry, lemon and violet. Yum. Leave it to the French to make such a decadent and fanciful treat.
There are also 2 new designs of Cupcake Cuffs, which I showed you back in this post.
Well, I think that's just about everything....53 new items altogether. Click here if you'd like to take a peek.
As always, I want to send a BIG heartfelt thank you to everyone who supports this little dream of mine. Without you, it would be nothing. Truly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I am completely swooning over here. All of these wonderful new things in perfect colours...ahhhh. I'm particularly crazy about those roses, but dying for that gorgeous masking tape, Andrea!

I just could not resist making a purchase a few nights ago! I did control myself. Although, I wanted it all!

That's what I get for shopping at 100Wishes before you update the shop! Oh well...guess who's going to do a little more shopping now? ;) Love all the new goodies!

I just found your blog yesterday and it’s wonderful! There are a lot of vintage blogs out there but so many of them are written by people that I just can’t identify with. They’ll be going along fine and then all the sudden there’s profanity or a pic of their new tattoo or piercing and while that’s fine if you like that, it’s just not me at all.
You have a beautiful home and family and seem like a nice, down to earth person who loves old stuff as much as I do. I’ve used a lot of those same creamy and pastel colors in decorating my bedroom with a 1930s style and some of the new stuff you’ve added to your shop has given me some wonderful decorating ideas. I will definitely be ordering soon. Seeing all your neat stuff has also rekindled my love of arts and crafts projects. I’m gonna have to bust out my hot glue gun and get to work.
Thanks for sharing this with us and I wish you much continued success :) .

I just LOVE the file folders! So pretty!

Andrea,
I received your newsletter in e-mail today. What delicious items you have for sale. I just wanted to pop by and say I think that your store is just gorgeous. I love how you tied the ribbon around that object, instead of just displaying the roll of ribbon. 100 wishes, what a perfect name for such a beautiful shop.
P.S. Normally when I look at ribbon, I immediately look at the price per yard. Your display was so gorgeous, I thought who cares how much it is, I want it. I will be back to shop, I am painting today to fill some orders. I always use ribbon to wrap my artwork that I sell on etsy.
Have a nice day.
Karen

Gosh Andrea, it takes my breath away. You manage to source the most beautiful and elegant goodies, in the most fabulous sugared almond colours. No, that's not right, your colours are more subdued and delicate than sugared almonds. :o) I don't have one hundred wishes, I have One Hundred Wants - NOW!!
Did you get my email, I replied and sent a different email address too. (it's ok, not hassling, I know you've been busy! Just wanted to check that you got it). It's a genuine offer, so just say the word and I can sort it out.
I must go. I'm so glad I stopped by today, such gorgeous pretties have made my day!

I am having a upcoming soiree with an Alice in Wonderland theme and I believe some of these candies would make a terrific centerpiece for the tea party table! Is the blue marshmallow wand close to the color in the photos?

I adore the posies! I will definitely be ordering some of those for my sitting room. SO cute!

Sweet! Sweet! Sweet! I only had time for skimming...I have to get out to my shop to wrap a baby shower gift! I'm looking forward to having time to pause and look at all of your pretty new things!
What fun!

The color scheme pulls through everything and is so soft and inviting. You have been very busy for sure and we all appreciate it :) That tape is the best...I love those colors. I will be back shopping soon.
Take care

I'm glad I read your blog AFTER I placed an order. Otherwise, I would've gone crazy ordering. As it is, I may have to place a second order. :)
