A Luxe Clutch

This embroidered faux leather is black with tones of brick and caramel. I topped it off with a tan ruffle ribbon and oversized French button.

Window Display with Paper Bunting

Sale window 2012
Our annual Spring Cleaning Sale ushers in the season. I wanted a bright, happy window display to entice customers to stop in the shop.

Window display bunting made with origami paper
I made the paper bunting using origami paper that I bought for a song at Daiso. I hand cut the blue letters by making a template using the font Coney Island. Kim installed the window, draping the swags in cheerful curves. It has a carnival feel, don't you think?

For another spin, we can reverse the ribbon to its brown side. This version reminds me of fossils. Here you can see the ribbon on our premium Twilight Blue, Graphite, and Pesto.
