Big Thank You's.....

I thought Id take a moment to say a HUGE thank you to the wonderful people who have featured Violet Bella recently.  I truly enjoy being a part of this amazing community.  There are so many wonderfully creative and talented people I have met along the way through this journey.

First up, I am sponsoring the lovely Miss Indie this month and she did a pretty cool interview with me for it!  Pop on over to her blog to read it!


I was completely surprised and honored to show up in Lovely Cluster's spring catalog twice!  They create the prettiest ambiance with their color specific categories.  In the first one, mine is the middle feather necklace with the patina bird.  In the second one, its the brass acorn necklace.  So fun!


And I was even more shocked to see one of my pinafore jumper's on Elsie's Ten Things I love Sunday post this week!  I could totally picture her in something like this!  Check out the post on her blog, A Beautiful Mess.


Thank you so much all of you lovely ladies!!!  Big big love to you!

As for the house update, we sign the paper and get the keys TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I cannot wait!  I am sooooo flippin' excited!  Today felt like a turning point, we went to the city to shop, and instead of going to Target to look at cute stuff, we went to Lowe's to look at storm doors, ha ha!  But it was fun!  We found one we love, that of course we cannot afford, so we will be saving our pennies to buy a door!

I have been trying to round up all of my last important tasks for this week because I will have to put my shop on vacation for about a week I think.  It will be the first time Ive shut it down.  I may just come back with a major sale to make up for it, so be on the lookout :)

And thank you to everyone who spread the love of the flyer!  And for those of you who think I should just get over it, well you are probably right, but again, im only human.  I hope that you never have to feel the way it feels yourself.

Very soon you will be meeting all of my amazing sponsors for this month!  Some pretty rad ladies!!!

PEACE,
Laura

Red Velvet

If you have not yet checked out Red Velvet's new website, you must!  All of the girls from the Red Velvet team did such a great job with styling, layout and pretty-ness!  I love how easy it is to use, and the fun sections they created like Trends & Favorites...


Im super excited to have a little line in their shop for this spring!  You can find these Violet Bella necklaces only at the Red Velvet shop or website!  Just search Violet Bella in their search bar.


My favorite part of the website is the lookbook.  Completely inspiring since I have always wanted to make one of these.  And I always adore the ones from Ruche... the RV girls did an amazing job for their first one!


Go have fun exploring their new site!

PEACE,

Elsie & Emma's DIY Cakestand

Today's sponsor DIY comes from the Red Velvet girls, Elsie & Emma.  They are sharing a sweet little way to turn vintage glassware into adorable new cake & treat stands!  Emma uses these in her sweet shop display.  Love it.  I think I would like to make some with vintage china since I love color and old china so much.  This would be a great idea for a handmade wedding!

 
All you need: vintage or thrifted plate or ashtray and small vase or
cocktail glass, epoxy glue
 
 
First, if you get your items second hand make sure to wash them before
you use them. Place the plate upside down on a flat surface. Apply a
small amount of epoxy glue to the bottom edge of the vase or glass.
Glue the glass onto the plate in the center. Place a heavy book or two
on top while it is drying. Make sure to read the directions on your
epoxy glue, as different brands have different drying times. Once your
new cake stand is dry, set it right side up and fill with baked goods!
 

If you create one, please share it with me & the girls!


PEACE,
Laura
