#64: Update Etsy Site

It's been a very long time coming, but I'm happy to say the Fairview Place shop is updated! While I am constantly working on new ways to take product shots, and creating new products in general, I think this is a good start. I have yet to add flower crowns and the garland, but hopefully that'll be live by the end of the month. To celebrate all the hard work, if you enter 92DAYS at checkout, you'll receive 20% off your order until the end of Summer. Good on custom orders too!

I'm participating in the 92 Days of Summer challenge. Click here to read all about it and here to a see a gallery of pictures of everyone participating. 

Felt Brooches Galore!

If you don't have a Fairview Place original brooch adorning your coat or sweater, it's about time you do! We have tons and tons to choose from, available at Kitsch and coming soon to the etsy site. Now there is no reason not to own one (for every season).

Contact me if you're interested in a specific color or flower. They make great gifts, awards and even alternative wedding arrangements.

Autumn Brooches

Some nights I make things and I feel like I should probably never craft again. I will have to say that last night was definitely NOT one of those nights. Kitsch asked me to teach a class so we decided on Fall Brooch class (to be followed up by a Holly-Day Brooch class in December), in early November. I was kind of cramming to get them done so I could photograph, package and drop off to the shop....which never means a good outcome. Although, I'll have to say I'm pretty happy with the way these cuties came out.

These would make lovely boutineers, brooches or corsages for an Autumn wedding, a nice hostess gift, or cute stocking stuffers for all the ladies in your family. I'd be happy to take custom orders :)

I may make another batch tonight for Glass Gardens to showcase at the Portsmouth Farmer's Market, which is every Saturday at 10 a.m. Stay tuned for class details, or check Kitsch's class schedule for updates.

New Creations!

My holiday creations are coming a little later than I had hoped, but nevertheless, they are here! I'm excited to show off my handmade felt brooches with vintage buttons and ribbon (collected and bought at a local estate sale!). These make perfect gifts for those hard-to-buy for ladies in your life and dress up an outfit without looking like you're going to an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party :)

I've started out with just five different pins to see how well they do at Kitsch. If they go over well, I may just have to continue them for other seasons! They'll be at the shop later today and are retailing for only $7 a piece. If you have a special request, feel free to contact me and we'll work out something perfect for your needs.
