The new shoot was a full success!

I mean, I know I’m the one saying it, so maybe take that with a grain of salt.

But, I think the new look really makes the items pop in the listings.

What do you think?

I already have the next shoot scheduled, and hope to have the majority of the shop switched over to the new style within the next few months.

I commented to G the other day that the only things I have to talk about–indeed, the only things I think about–are all work-related.

I must be a true bore.

I need to get out into the garden this weekend!

Go fishing! (we totally got our fishing licenses this past weekend–both of us love fishing, but have never fished down here!  G grew up fishing in the Bahamas, and I grew up fishing in MN.  So, it’s a new adventure)

Maybe then I’ll have more to discuss…and be a tad more interesting. 😉

Spring!

I’ve been working on new Spring and Summer things for the shop lately–neglecting the blog, neglecting the yard, neglecting the garden.  *sigh*

Just sewing, sewing, sewing, SEWING!

Also re-working (or attempting to re-work) the photography for my etsy shop.

While I love the editorial photography, the lighting, the mood, the setting…..it’s not as cohesive as I’d like it to be.

Gauze Gypsy Dress

So, I decided to try a new style.

Giraffe Tunic Dress

Went out with the lovely Nancy Jane a couple of weeks ago and snapped a bunch of new photos with new things, as well as old.

While I love them……they’re still not right.

And so, today, we’re trying this again.

But in the wee little photo studio I have set up this time.

Going for more simple.  Less distraction from the clothing.

But I think I’m going to miss the backgrounds.

Trying to get your business the way you want it is a never-ending process, it seems.

But worth it.

It’s sunny and warm today, making me think of tunic dresses and summer.

Image

This giraffe print is one of my favorite finds–though I only found enough of the fabric (it was a remnant) for one dress.

Image

Tunic dresses are great for spring and summer.  Worn with or without a belt. With or without a pair of capri leggings.

Image

Perfect for long beach walks, summer festivals & backyard BBQs.

I love these crop tops.

I have a couple myself, and need to make a few more.

I’m a huge fan of layering, you see.

Image

A friend once laughed at me, when I lamented having had a hard time figuring out what to wear one day–this is back when I had an office job.

He said–“What do you mean?  All you do is:  tank top, t-shirt, cardigan, and GO!”.

Which hit it on the head.  That really nails down my clothing–tank top, top over that and cardigan, if the second top has short or no sleeves.

Image

Which is why these are a great wardrobe addition for me.  Tank top (possible two in contrasting colors) and crop top.  Done.  Comfortable, easy to wear, and goes with anything.

I have a few new fabrics to make some of these out of–wild prints!  PRINTS!  I never use wild prints, so I’m excited to get making them.  Once my stack of orders is diminished, that is.

Just In

New fabrics arrived over the weekend, and I can now create ruffle leggings in white as well as red.  (in addition to the cream, black, blue, and multi that are ALREADY offered)  Capri or full-length!  Send me a msg if interested as I don’t have the new color options listed in any of the shops yet.

Happy Monday!
