The internet is a magnificent thing. It allows us to virtually visit places we could only dream of traveling to. The Sheelin Lace Museum would definitely be on my travel itinerary if I were traveling to Northern Ireland.<br />

What a lovely atmosphere. Imagine tending shop among these exquisite laces. I would be forced to pick up every single piece and examine its intricate pattern.<br />

My new holiday floral designs are flying out of the studio before I even get a chance to list them. Not to worry though, I have designed a few exclusively for the website and will have them posted in the next few days. (If you would like to be the first to be alerted as to when they are posted, please subscribe to our email list.) They are lovingly boxed and packed, ready to ship immediately. They will ship via parcel post so allow about a week to receive them. I usually like to ship priority mail but the shipping costs for these oversized boxes were astronomical! Parcel post was far more reasonable.<br />

After the holiday florals are posted, I will be focusing on getting a few more of our insanely popular shabby stars posted before the holidays. I have spent much time developing other aspects of the business that my sweet shabby stars have sat alone patiently waiting to be completed. Look for a new selection of <b>shabby hearts</b> to be released after the holidays. They are so beautiful and much easier to intricately stitch and design because of their full shape. The love of the "heart shape" is universal and means so much to a lot of us. I see these being even more popular than the stars. So again, sign for the newsletter to be one of the first to see them as they are unveiled.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649758751985032901.post-55913420465154367062012-10-07T17:04:00.001-04:002012-10-07T17:52:29.888-04:00Preparing for the Holidays<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With the girls back in school now, more time is finally opening up for working in the studio. I am anxious for you to see our Holiday offerings this year. We are bringing back a few favorite categories and adding some new ones! .Looking forward to the next few months (but definitely not the cold and snow!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will also be reopening our <b>my2roses</b> floral design boutique in a few weeks, blooming with gorgeous Holiday and Christmas designs!</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">You needed a change and have finally selected the perfect shade of paint to make your home feel cozy and inviting. But after the painting is complete, you are at a loss for a fresh idea to decorate your "new" walls. You want something that speaks of you and your life. Something that is reflective of how you feel about your family and your home. And while you may be able to find a lovely picture for the wall, it just doesn't say enough about you.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

Some we take more seriously than others. Some we are more committed to than others. But with each new </span>year, we have the blessed opportunity to start fresh, with a clean slate if we so choose. What a true gift that is!</span></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Arial; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For me, some promises resurface year after year...like getting organized (again), or eating healthier (how much salad can a person consume without an eventual rebellion?). But the one that I take more seriously than all of the others is my promise to create, recreate or maintain my sanctuary.</span><br />

This is crucial to my being able to tackle those deadlines and calm the chaos of my everyday life.</span></div><div style="font: 14.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;"><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 14.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">So while I continue on my never ending quest for better time management and improved organization,(and my guilt-ridden promise to eat healthier), I encourage you to surround yourself with things that make <i>you</i> happy, that speak to <i>your</i> soul and give <i>you</i> that inner calm that you need to face each new day, each new year.</span></div><div style="font: 14.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 16.0px;"><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 14.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: 0px;">Thank you for your continued encouragement and support.

With my recent feature in Romantic Homes Magazine - August 2011 issue - "At Home with Trisha Evans", I am humbled at the many requests I have received for my Shabby Star pillows. Because of the detail work involved in creating these sweet art pillows, it is taking a bit longer than I would like to get more of them posted. I have been tweaking the designs and have started making "shabby heart" shapes. </span><br />

Of all my jewelry, my favorites are my pearls, but they do present a problem when storing because of their bulk. I came upon these jewelry boxes from Pottery Barn and especially love how they would blend so nicely into my creamy white bedroom. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div>I have been on a constant search for beautiful items for our Linen Luxuries department at A Vintage White for quite some time. But I have been finding that there is virtually nothing fresh, new or exciting out there for us and really hasn't been for some time. A bit dismayed, and while still working on our exclusive design line, I decided to search among the talented cottage business owners around me. After weeks of searching and studying and comparing products, I was thrilled to have found Susan.<br />
<br />
Susan makes the most beautiful, quality products and her presentation is always stunning. She produces her product with such care and attention to every detail. We are very excited to be offering Susan's items and know you will love these as much as we do. Although she was quite busy, we were able to have her create some lovely things going into this holiday season. We will be offering her jewlery pouches and closet safes. Susan's products fit perfectly into our plan of offering our customers the<i> finer things</i>, those extra special, beautiful items that enhance your way of life (and charm others in the process). You know, those things that you may not have thought were essential but add such feelings of pamered extravagance that they <u>become</u> essential to your well-being?<br />
<br />
I love to have beautiful things around me, they make me happy, they allow me momentary escapes that have such a calming affect on me. Look for Susan's beautiful products to debut at A Vintage White in mid-October and think about allowing some of the <i>finer things</i> to bring you comfort and happiness just by their beauty.<br />

We are adding a line of private label layette items for baby at AVW and are putting together the fonts and motifs we will be offering. All items we carry will be offered only in white but with delicate, pastel embroidery. (We are in the process of setting up our etsy store where we will be offering more colorful designs by way of applique and brighter thread choices.) As soon as I had seen how this design sewed out, I could not wait to run to my blog and post a picture for you! I hope to have the site set with these new designs by the end of the week. Please let me know what you think!<br />

I was bound and determined to post some inspiration today since I have been down with a bug for almost 3 weeks now. I spent my entire birthday with a fever and chills in bed. (<i>I am NOT counting my birthday this year because of it!</i>) Today temperatures should reach 65 and the sun is already peeking out from behind a few puffy clouds. It's going to be a very good day.</span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Today's inspiration is about accent colors. The premise of the "A Vintage White style" revolves around neutral basics (whether it be tans, creams or whites). With each new season I love to change out my accessories with an accent color to breathe new life into my surroundings. The thought behind my style of decorating is that basics will serve you for quite a few years and if they are a non-neutral color, I find myself tiring of them after a short while and then either having to doll out a lot of cash to replace them or worse yet, living with them after my mind and heart tell me I am over them (brutal). So I invest in good basics in neutrals and add seasonal accent colors (I choose pale colors) to freshen it up. Seasonal accents are usually less expensive and are so fun to shop for. Above you will see that I put together a composition with my favorite accent color of blush - a soft blend of pinky peach. In future posts I will be adding compositions with various other accent colors to show how versatile and refreshing decorating with the basic "A VIntage White style" can be.</span></span></span></span><br />
