Beautiful Postcards

My much awaited postcard finally arrived and now in the shop!

I think they are just precious. This set is a springtime indie woodland sort of theme. Im so excited to add these to the shop!

You get a set of 6 cards, that can be used for a postcard, a pretty note for someone, a bookmard or even just a art hung up in your house, for only $12.

The edges are rounded and there is a very vintage feel to these cards. And they feature 6 of my favorite prints!

There was a MAJOR shop update last night! A whole page of new goodies, so go check it out!

PEACE,

New Things Aboard

New and exciting things are happening behind the scenes at Violet Bella.

*I have two new assistants who will be helping me with my uploading, Jen & Katelyn. I could not be more excited, both of these girls are super cute and talented in their own ways, and I feel very honored to have them aboard.

(Speaking of Jen, check out this post she did with lots of pics from our hula hoop making party)

What this means... I will be able to focus a bit more on designing and creating. I get in a rut sometimes with creating because I feel like I have so much to post and it just piles up, so now with the help of friends I will be able to focus again on my craft, which means more goodness for all of you!

*I am introducing a new look and feel to my product photos that I could not be happier about. So the shop is getting a little makeover :)

*There is a whole new line being daydreamed and slowly created behind the scenes that I cannot wait to share with you! Eeeeek, I think it is going to be fun!

*There are many new pieces on Ruche! I am psyched that I have joined there team and that it is doing well for them!

*Working on my new fall line of jewelry (see below), and I am just joyful with it. Not too much different from my normal stuff, just more focused on fall colors, patinas, woodland and feathered creatures. All the stuff I usually love. These are just a sneak peak of what will be going in the shop tonite, many more!

I will be adding a custom photo necklace listing to the shop as well. I love how this customer wanted to use a vintage family photo, so special.

Have a wonderful day!

Peace,

Laura

New Inspiration and Bits of Life

A bit of randomness in the midst of editing pics of Katelyn's visit...

I have been re-inspired to re-edit a bunch of old works that Ive done... Here are a few older photographs that I have re processed and found a new love for. Amazing how something so simple can be inspiring and give a whole new outlook on something you once forgot about. I think that is why I love upcycling clothes so much.

Most of these I already put in the shop, and the ones I haven't will be up soon.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

And now for some randomness in life. Most of these are actually from weeks ago, but I just wanted to share.

This is my best friend Shelley. She is an amazing, beautiful, strong momma of two precious little ones... an outstanding wife, a wonderful sister, and best friend a person could have. She makes me feel comfortable to just be myself, and it seems these days that is hard to come by. We dont see each other nearly as often as we would like, but we both know how much we love each other, always.

I recently got this dress from LucyMagnolia on etsy. The cutest little shop, I am so happy I found her. Not the greatest pic of the dress, I know, I plan on taking better ones sometime. But it is so beautiful and comfy! I love it.

And I just got in my much awaited for Neil Young tshirt. I have been on the lookout for the perfect Neil Young shirt forever, and when I found this for such a reasonable price I just about flipped, and it fits perfect! I think I will be seen in this shirt so often you might not think I own any other clothes!

Just a cute one of me and James, I loved the way his hair looked in this pic. He is so adorable its ridiculous. I never get tired of looking at him.

Want to play a game of Where's James??? And by the way, yes, we sleep with all of these, plus two more that arent pictured.

And now for a game of Where's Bella! Ha ha, anytime I leave my back door open, she will sneak in and find a comfy spot in my mess. And yes, my craft room usually looks like this, its nuts! Its clean right now, but I give it about two days to stay that way.

And this is Violet's new hang out spot on the porch. Since I moved the porch around, she still likes her chair, but she prefers to hide under the table. I dont know why, maybe the concrete is cool and its nice and dark and relaxing? But she loves it under there!

Right now outside my window, the sky is hot pink behind the sillouette of trees, and the sky is roaring with thunder and putting on a lightshow. Its about to rain like crazy. I love it when it rains. I find such a peaceful calm from it. I like to write when it rains. Maybe Ill find some inspiration for my Roots and Feathers blog tonite.

PEACE,

Laura

Through The Viewfinder

Once again, Katelyn has blown me away with her photography. She took these yesterday. She is modeling the two dresses she bought from me while visiting. She is the proud owner of my very first teddy bear tshirt dress!

I gave her an old TTV camera while she was here, and in these photos you see from above the camera, through the viewfinder, I LOVE IT! what a wonderful idea, and excellent execution.

There were others, but I think these ones are my favorites.

Ill be posting more later on her stay with us!

PEACE,

Laura
