Hello Everyone:)
Hope you are all doing well. The mornings are getting cooler here but the afternoons are still hot. Our wells and flowers are hoping for some rain soon.
Nicole and I are revamping MAISONSTGERMAIN.COM. We are changing hosts and will be adding a ton of things once we are done. The NEW Site will be up and running in a couple of weeks. Right now our old site is up but you can still order from it.
We are very exciting with the new host as it offers so much more and seems to be much quicker. There is nothing worse when you are trying to upload a photo than to have it take 15 minutes for each one. So it was time to move on. We had a photo shoot with 'Big Moma' (above) for the site. Isn't she pretty modeling one of our purses? She goes to all our shows with us.
I love these baskets but wanted to add a little girliness to them. I had some pretty millinery flowers and vintage lace. Just hot glued everything in place, added wide ribbon on top and really like the results.
This is just way to easy. I bought this plant trellis for $1.00,already painted white. I hot glued some vintage lace to it along with a millinery flower. Then I picked out 3 of my favorite vintage photos and clipped them on with old clothespins. Who said it had to be expensive to be pretty;)
This is an example of the pillows we will be putting on the site. Made of vintage linens. All sizes and all different. I love making them so there will be plenty:)
Hope you were a little inspired to try something new. I enjoyed creating and really appreciated my hot glue gun:)
'Till next time.......

ReplyDeleteHi Debra ~ I love the cooler mornings we've been having~the nights aren't so bad either. That vintage piece you picked up at Brimfield is sweet. Im counting the days till the Sept. show. The lazy dog days got hold of me and Im too tired to try anything new ~ which is why Im so glad you have some energy to make those awesome pillows~can't wait to see the new site. Give the pups a squeeze for me.

ReplyDeleteYour 'girl' looks lovely all decked out for the shows. I imagine she is quiet on your trips and doesn't eat much since she doesn't have a head.hehe

Can't wait to see the new site. Not fun when things take too long to upload. I use pappashop and it seems pretty easy but there are still things I can't figure out.
ReplyDeleteLove all the vintage ideas you came up with....you're so clever!
