I am so happy spring has finally rolled around! Granted I live in Oregon so I see for of the April showers clear into May/June. But this past weekend, it was sun shiny and perfect weather. I wanted to stay outside all day. Turquoise has become one of my new favorite springy colors. I noticed I have been using it more and more in my party/paper items. It just feels fresh and happy. This week I'm featuring several turquoise items from some talented Etsians!!

 

a) Ceramic Bird Bowl by PrinceDesignUK 

I love this bowl because the design/pattern reminds me of this beautiful turquoise and green tile my granny had in one of her bathrooms.

b) Turquoise Dress Watercolor Print by lauratrevey

There is something fun and whimsical about this print. It would fit beautifully in a little girls room or clothing studio. 

c) Turquoise Pettiskit style tutu by SpoiledSweetkids 

My daughter would die for this skirt!! She is obsessed with skirts and dresses anything frilly!

 

d) Turquoise Elephant Wood Pull Toy by JoanOrr 

I love the simplicity of wooden toys...both my kids would love this.

 

e) Turquoise Clutch by JennyGirlDesigns

This purse is just fun...I love love love purses!!!

 

f) Daisy Flower Necklace by GojoDesign 

I love this necklace and most of the pieces in this shop. They are elegant but simple and could easily be worn with jeans & a tshirt or a party dress. Might be directing my hubs here for Mother's day or my bday present :)

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!

Monday Around The Shop

Happy Monday Everyone!!

I like actually being ok with it being Monday, which typically means going back to work. I'm sure after a few more months at my new job, I will probably dread Mondays like everyone else in the world but for now I'm going to embrace being ok with Mondays! :)

I managed to get several things done this weekend for With Envy Parties. And I got to hang with the kiddies and enjoy the sunshine as well. WIN WIN!

I got my Mother's Day party photographed and into the shop. I really like how the pictures turned out. I hope you enjoy!

The set is available for $7.50 HERE

Update Time

I thought I would pop in and do a little updating:

• Because I am super indecisive and wishy/washy I think I am going to give this regular blogging thing a try...AGAIN :) Since I started my new job my energy level is different and I think I may be able to focus and plan better. We will see how it goes.

• I closed With Envy Paper for a few days and have opened back up. I have been fluctuating back and forth about what to do with my paper shop. I have had great success with both my party and paper shop (well more so than I thought I would this fast). But the reality is I enjoy my party shop more because I get the fun of creating things for customers without the added worry of actually printing/shipping. I toyed with the idea of just offering my paper items as printables but I realized that probably wouldn't work well with certain items. So I've decided to continue offering placemats and melamine plates as normal. I will continue to offer bookplates and notepads as they are my best sellers. I will also be offering bookplates as printables too and prints as printables only. I'm going to try and add more printable items to the shop too. 

• Along those lines I have decided to discontinue my note cards. I love creating note cards and think I have some really cute designs. That being said, they haven't really sold well and to be perfectly honest out of everything I sell, that would be the one thing I wouldn't buy. I don't generally write notes unless they are thank you notes and I'm horrible at doing that timely. Once my husband asked me what the note cards were and why people would even buy them. I was offended at first because I took it as a criticism of my shop ( I can be overly sensitive sometimes). But I had to finally admit to myself that since opening my original shop I have thought the same thing. So I decided to stop selling them and focus more items I would actually purchase and enjoy creating. 

So I hope you stick with me or at least pop in every now and again to see whats new!
