Studio One Vignettes. . .

Studio One has definitely been in need of attention
since returning from our Bits 'N Pieces Spring Booth.

So~o~o. . .
today as I finished preparing some left~over inventory
for an upcoming TAG $ale, I freshened a few vignettes.





My display area of handmade cards was in the greatest need of updating!


Above. . .
is the freshened newly designed area in Studio One!

As you can see, there aren't many handmade cards in the photo 
                                                                                                           . . . Below.




After removing everything and giving the enameled top a good cleaning,
I cut a width of designer gift wrap in keeping with my subtle color palette,
to protect the top.





At the right side of the table , 
a vintage heirloom lamp was placed atop a hand crocheted doily
supporting the same hues as the designer paper.

Placing my revolving card display rack on the left side of the table
and a shabby chic shelf for added height, 
will bring more visual appeal within the vignette.





This letter holder was purchased many years ago.
I was quite smitten with the soft hues, chippy paint and the adorable bird
that peeks out between the neutral toned envelopes tucked inside the holder.





Next,
I put a vintage inspired post card within one of my favorite frames.





I surrounded the frame and the letter holder 
with a trio of shabby chic iron birds.





Directly behind the framed postcard print, I placed my glass apothecary jars. 
One is filled with pieces of satin ribbons, the other vintage embroidery thread.





On Crooked Creektt
one can n e v e r have enough notepads!
Memos, notes and check lists are a m u s t!

I truly, adore these subtle hued, over~sized notepads
on my vintage silver toast stand!





Next to the notepads are my planning and sketching notebooks.
. . .and yes, 

I've already begun designing new merchandise for our upcoming Fall Booth!





Studio One will enjoy a short break in the next few weeks.
But soon, very soon, it will once again, be a flurry of activity
with the designing of merchandise for Bits 'n Pieces Fall Show!!!






Until next time. . .



On Crooked Creektt will be joining

for use in your own home decor!

Your displays are very attractive. Your lamp alone would woe me into your booth but everything else looks appealing too. I bet your cards are wonderful.

Thank you for your kind visit, Pat. Have a great Easter next Sunday.
