Winter Shop Update

You guys...I update the shop today with a few new wintry things for the holidays!  I didn't get to create as many items as I wanted, but I'm over the moon with the new items that I have up now.  Mittens, scarves, cowls...plenty of warmth and coziness.

Hopefully I will have the opportunity to make each item in more colors soon...I want to have more color options listed for my lovely customers.  Each item can be made in a wide variety of colors, though...so if you see something you want in a different color, send a message my way!  I'd be more than happy to create any item in a special color for you.

It's been a dream creating these items to share with you.  Right now, I have a special coupon code that's valid through tomorrow for free shipping, international and domestic.  That means free shipping to anywhere in the world!  Hooray!  That code is THANKFUL1.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve, American friends.

And to everyone else, happy Wednesday.

A Folklore Cabin Logo

My Etsy shoppe needed a logo, bad.  It had been identity-less since birth, and that fact drove me crazy.  I had worked so hard on putting together the right aesthetic for my shoppe, but it still didn't have that one essential piece of branding to tie it all together.

I tried my own hand at making a logo a few unsuccessful times.  I finally had to admit defeat, and accept the fact that my talents will never lie in design, illustration, or anything that requires a steady hand.  Most unfortunately.

Through the magic of Pinterest, I stumbled across Minna So's lovely blog, which then led me to stumble across her design portfolio.  Needless to say, I was over the moon for her lovely words.

I contacted her almost immediately, and the rest was history!  She sent me a few different designs of which I could choose from - which was perhaps the most difficult part because they were all just perfect.  I must also mention how quickly she was to respond to all of my emails and design my logo.

It was a joy of the greatest kind to work with Minna; she's just darling!

I hope you'll stop by and say hello to her...especially if you're needing some beautiful designwork done.

Oh, and you can see my lovely new logo in action as my new shoppe header!  I'm aching for a break to design some business cards donning my new emblem.

It's finally the weekend, so hopefully I'll be back with one more post before Monday.

Happy weekend, loves.

Shoppe Update!

I've been adding new things to the shoppe left and right over the past few days.  It's been fun seeing each item go from an idea, to a sketched out pattern, to finished, photographed, listed, and patiently waiting its turn to be yours.  I also have loads more ideas in this odd mind of mine...so keep on the lookout for some cozy, wintry things to be added soon.

Also, while speaking of my little shoppe, the fact that this little portion of my world remains logo-less drives me insane.  It feels like this store that I've worked so hard on doesn't have an actual identity.  I've wracked my brains out in Photoshop (I don't own Illustrator...which would probably make this process easier, yes?) trying to come up with the perfect logo.  But, truth be told, graphic design is not my forte.  Not at all.  In fact, I think I might even be better at sewing than I am graphic design...and I'm awful at sewing.

So, I'm on the hunt once more for someone whose mind and hands can produce a cozy, homey, Northwestern-y, straight out of a children's book logo for my little shoppe.  If you or someone you know could design such a thing for me, I will owe you the moon and stars (along with money, and probably cookies.)

P.S.  I would like to thank you all for your kind words about the fire in my hometown a few days ago.   Although many homes were lost, people spirits were not.  We're helping them rebuild, day by day.

Shoppe Update // Granny Square Earwarmers

Hello, friends!  Just a quick pop-in to show you my newest shoppe update.  I've added two new granny square earwarmers to the shoppe, and I'm just in love with them!  Even though it's too hot to wear them at the moment, they'll be so cozy once Autumn and Winter rolls around.  I'm hoping to make them in a few more colorways soon, too.

You can view them here!

I hope you're all having the loveliest of weekends.  It's back to my Walking Dead marathon for me... :)

Summertime Sale //

I can't believe Summer (and July!) are already upon us!  It truly seems like I blinked and this year was half over.  So many good things are going to be happening this Summer, I can just feel it.  Even though it's hot, as I already mentioned, this time of year is such a treat.

To kick the Summer off, I thought having a fun little sale in my shoppe to celebrate the grand opening would be too perfect.  So, from now until July 4th, you can receive 20% off your order by using the coupon code SUMMERTIME1!

Happy Summer, dear friends.

Poppies // Shoppe Update

I've been not-so patiently waiting to list these Poppy Crown headbands since I first had the idea for them.  I knew that I wanted to create a flower crown of some sort, because I love them so...but I wanted to keep it simple.  And that's exactly what I did.  And I used one of my favorite flowers.

I think I'm going to make one more in orange.  Because who doesn't love orange poppies?  :]

If you fancy these Poppy Crowns, you can view them in my shoppe!

P.S.  I have more exciting shoppe things to share soon!

Open For Business

I did it.  I finally did it.  After planning, designing, revising, thinking, and lots of hoping, my Etsy shoppe has opened her doors.  (I worked mighty hard on getting her window display juuust right.)

Right now, you will find a few of my headbands and Granny Hats, and I will be adding more over the next couple of weeks.  I have plenty of ideas bouncing around in this wild head of mine that I can't wait to bring to life and into the shoppe.

You can take a peek at my shoppe right here!

Tomorrow is a big day for me, friends.  I'll spill the details after it's all over...perhaps.  Wish me luck!

xo, A.
