Yay we got some good news back from the realtor that our proposal was accepted for the new location for the shop . I can’t wait to get settled in and get back to work. I thought it would be nice to create some new display items for our guests to enjoy for our grand reopening.
I just love little containers to hold small treasures. They work great to keep the stock organized too! This project is also a nice way to upcycle those great wooden crates that clementines are sold in. We have a ton of them just waiting to be put to use.
Right now it’s holding a nice supply of envelopes waiting to be worked into a project. I inked the edges of a lovely paper then added a glitter edge banner. A ruffled crepe is a nice girly finishing detail.
I created this sweet little flower for the front of the crate…..but it just didn’t seem to match so I will find a different project for it. I started with a lovely sheet music vintage image from Graphics Fairy that I cut into strips and scalloped. I worked it into the layers of a velvety flower and ruffled it to give the flower lot’s of dimension. A few nice bit’s of lace to soften the edges.
I’ll be happily working at getting the shop open so I can enjoy seeing all my Paper Peeps again. Hopefully by the end of next month. I have some great ideas for the shop to make it new and improved! Until then….I am enjoying hibernating and playing paper at home.
Have you disclosed the exact NEW location yet – I’m feeling really confused…?
Not yet Karen. We want to wait for all the paper work to be signed first. It will be soon though. By the end of the week I think. It’s fun to have such a delicious surprise.
I cannot wait to hear all about it!!
I am currently working on a mini album….Neil used your tutorial and made one for me while I was ill!!
Cannot wait to be able to come and play paper though!!
