Yes I do work there. It is seriously such a blessing that they have arrived in Utah. Hopefully the style there can have an influence.
Love your plate wall! How do you hang them up?
kate:
you can buy plate hangers for most size plates at any target, wal-mart type store. they are in the aisles with other hooks and lightbulbs for some reason.
good luck!
haha that would be the perfect match. Jamie and bethany. yeah i knew her form studio one i used to dance there forever ago.
Just stopping by from your sister-in-laws and wanted to tell you how cute you are!!
Do you scrapbook at all? You'd be really good at it I think.
I love the silhouettes! You are a crafty one!
I have a frame just like that- cute idea! You are so crafty!
lizzy,
i am sorry to disappoint, but i haven't scrap booked since i was 11. its not really my thing, and now that liz (my sis) has taken it to epic proportions, i am definitely not doing it!
but you're sweet, thanks for saying hi!
I've been thinking about attempting the plate art for a while now- I saw some killer plates at anthropologie... now I'm inspired again.
And I LOVE the silhouettes- where'd you find those awesome frames?
ikea!
(and good call on anthropologie)
em i freaking love the shadow portraits! i totaly want to do it! so did you just trace your shadow and then what? also where did you get the frames????
ikea! they're great. i did the shadow and heard by many people that there is a much easier way to do it using photoshop... so i guess it's up to you. i liked doing it by hand, then you control some things-- like the size of your nose and double chin.
