I Know I Just Said I Wouldn’t Do This….

Didn’t I JUST say that I wanted to break the cycle of posting just photo shoots?

Ahhh, well–this is new!  And I wanted to share it before I forgot ALL ABOUT IT!  (which I’ll do over the weekend, most likely)

Just a little product shoot with the beautiful Yuri, who I’ve gotten to work with a few times now–you’ll recognize her from the Boa Shoot and the Mardi Gras Shoot.  She lives down the road–how lucky am I?

A few new pieces, a few new shots of older pieces.

Some new Swing Tanks, a new Crop Top, new Babydoll Tunics, new Sweetheart Neckline Bustiers….

And new shots of capelets and a cincher skirt.

We had so much fun, even though I had hoped to have more to photograph–as I mentioned, orders have been rolling in, and that means less time to create new things.

What do you think?

New Babydoll Tunics

Success!

The new shoot was a full success!

Oversize Crop Top

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.

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!

Vintage Handkerchief Skirt

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

Linen Tunic Dress

Just sewing, sewing, sewing, SEWING!

Chiffon Swing Tank

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.

Happy Almost-Weekend to you!

TnT Tuesday

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.
