Keep reading to find out more about this awesome shop.1. How did you come up with your shop name? Periwinkle is one of my favorite colors, but I also just love the word. I love to say it, I love the way it looks. To me, it is synonymous with “whimsical” and that is how I think of my art. 2. What inspires you when creating or choosing an item for your shop? I usually have a problem with too many ideas and narrowing down where to start. I make tons of lists that both help me priorities where to start and which ideas to work on first. I am often inspired by visual arts or random illustrations. Sometimes an image from one of my children’s books can…
Our first interview is with the lovely creators and finders of vintage treasures at {Pioneer Vintage Co.} a phenomenal local etsy seller. 1. How did you come up with your shop name? The name is based on Michele’s favorite poem, “Pioneers, O’ Pioneers” by Walt Whitman. 2. What inspires you when creating or choosing an item for your shop? We are inspired by the idea of bringing new life to past trends. We’re able to do this by finding vintage treasures and also by putting our own spin on our favorite past trends with our handmade items. A good example of this idea is our twist-top headbands, inspired by the housewives of the 1940’s-50’s, which we designed with a wire on the inside so that you can literally just twist the top for the perfect retro look. 3. What are your personal favorite items in your shop right now? Our…

No, not literately the beginning (I wish haha) but this is the first printable I’ve made and offered on CrashBeauty.com. I’ve started working with creating printable items related to blogging. I’ve always been a planner type of girl, things go in my computer calendar or gets written in my physical planner. I have more office supplies then I would probably ever need to use and when I see a staples I get way too excited for my own good. But that is neither here nor there. I felt it was time to create a custom planner specifically for my blog so that I can keep track of the progress and keep my thoughts and ideas together in one place, not scattered across a number of books as they are now. This was my very first try and I’m giving you guys the sheet. You can print these out on a regular printer and punch holes in them.…
West Elm is an amazingly awesome store. It’s gorgeous inside and out. Recently I attended the Grand Opening of the King of Prussia West Elm store located in the court and believe me when I tell you I wish I could buy everything in the store. The art promotion for the grand opening was done by a local artist Jim Digiovanni and was the first. Every West Elm store opening in the future will feature artwork of a local artist. My first impression of the store was awe. I love the natural feel to it even though there is industrial work clearly all around and it is very modern. It feels like home now that I think of it. Which I suspect is right on the money since they want you mix match and play with all of the items in the store! Here is some information from West Elm’s…
I purchased three plants for my window sill since I have a wide window sill by my bed I always wanted to have plants in my room so I got a small greenhouse from IKEA that I will put plants in as well as these three containers (which were less than a dollar, I forget the exact price but it was very cheap) The plants I have here are a Polka Dot Plant, Umbrella Tree and Aloe Vera. (My mother is already plotting on my Aloe plant) All three require bright light. I have them facing south (not like they had any other sill they could have gone on though) and it just worked out perfectly. I love the Polka dot plant it brings just the right amount of color contrast. All require minimal watering in the winter and I was a bit worried about them being on this sill…
So I decided to post a video while I created my new Brush holder. I’ve been using my brush roll and quite honestly I don’t think that I want to keep all of the brushes in there especially since I keep accumulating more brushes. The Items I used were all from A.C. Moore which includes: The Glass or container of your choice rub on decals which can be used on any hard surface popsicle stick, fingernail, coin anything that you can press or rub these decals off and onto the surface of your container some type of filler (look for fake floral arrangement fillers in bead form) siccors, knife or box cutter Optional: Tape Be sure that your glass is clean of any debris. Cut out the desired decal. (Be sure to read the packaging instructions first as some may differ) remove the plastic when you have decided to place the decal into place. You…
