Thanks Apartment Therapy!
Apartment Therapy just added our big back yard to their “My Great Outdoors” features! Thanks so much! We love to get some feedback on our projects and love some constructive criticism, as we are new at this! So, welcome everyone who finds us from AT! Thanks again!
Wax Seals
When we first got engaged I happened to find a W stamp and some silver wax on sale. Of course I snagged it, but we have yet to use it. Although I’m not technically a “W” yet, we decided to test out the seal on our thank you’s from our engagement party. They turned out pretty cool!
Our supplies and our blank thank you notes:
Tony melted the wax for me. We did a few practice runs, but he started to get it down pat.
He said it worked best to slowly swirl the wax stick around while on fire, then as it drips to move the wax into a larger circle. I then stamped the wax with the seal, and viola!
Simple, but fun and a very cute touch. We thought we should make this our signature for all of our cards from now on. And, it was fun to do together!
Taco Night Celebration
We decided to celebrate last night! We are officially setting up shop with our projects and vintage collections. (Actually, for those of you who like Mid Century, there might be a really sweet hutch up for grabs after this weekend;)
So, I made Tony’s favorite, Tacos! It was so pretty with all of the colorful bowls and plates, so I thought I would share. We were so excited about being noted on Apartment Therapy. What a great way to start our shop! Check out our pretty little party.
The tacos and margaritas were very tasty… just try to imagine you were there, and have a toast with us! And, thank you everybody for stopping in and giving your advice and comments- which we LOVE! And check back, because we are off and running with our shop and our new projects!
