LABELS

I have been really busy with my business over the last couple of weeks, making it difficult to find time to blog.....I'm so excited though that I just have to share!

 Here are my labels via Air Mail from Hong Kong.  Woo Hoo!!!! Aren't they sweet?   I found them through Etsy and the company was really easy to work with http://www.etsy.com/shop/worldsalelabel.   I've already used them since I am working on a project for my niece in Texas who will be photographing a bride whose wedding party includes twelve bridesmaids!  It's true that everything is bigger in Texas.

To the right are my "Thank You" cards (front and back).  I plan to attach these to the garments with a handwritten note to my customer.

I love my scissors.  I found these at Hobby Lobby; they were unfinished wood when I bought them.  So I painted them with the blue paint I used to paint my distressed cabinet and then used an antique paint for the handles.  I found a transparent sheet with adhesive backing and ran that through my printer so that I could add my logo and finished it off with some adhesive backed pearls at the base of the handle. 

Below is a little corner of my design studio...just to the right of the mirror is a folding screen which corners off a little section for changing, which includes garment hooks and a full-length mirror.  That was used for the first time this morning when I had a bride come in so that I could add bustles for the train on her wedding gown.

This is a "sneak peek" at a few of the bridesmaid skirts that have been consuming me over the last several weeks.  I'll be sure to add actual photos from the wedding onto my website at sheamariedesigns.com sometime later this summer since the wedding is at the end of June.

I have several other projects I plan to work on that I hope to be able to tackle soon, and of course there are goodies for an upcoming bridal shower and more wedding goodies still in store so stay tuned!
