New things.

Today I spent the day in L.A hitting up my favorite local vendors, gathering supplies for the big day in March and just in general. I bought 100 peacock feathers, appliques, feathers, wire, trim, and elastic..i went a little over board, but I thought since fancyThat is doing so great whyyyyy not?! It's in my overhead...live a little.. hehe.

I spent the rest of the day crafting in and out cause Matt's adorable nieces and nephew were over. I deigned 6 new pieces and I have to say... I LOVE THEM! I started using more lace and tulle, and It's going to be so hard to give these baby's away!

Since I just landed a major account, I'll be shipping out just about every day... bitter, sweet. Bitter because I'm not very fond of going to the post office... maybe it's just the one I go to. Since I ship out overseas just about every day the people at the post office seem like the get mad that I need to fill out other labels..makes me feel awkward..?ahahaa.. maybe it's just me.And sweet because... well..you know!!

Oh yeah! My netflicks movie cam in yesterday! I rented miss pettigrew lives for a day! Super cute! I loved the costumes, the colors, and of course the time era.

Here are some snap shots of what Inspired me. Enjoy!

Such a cute movie! Rent it and we'll have a conversation about it!<3

Here are my new designs: All on sale at fancyThat.com

Tutu Couture.

So lately a lot of my inspirations have been coming from textures and fabrics.. even though I still love to work with feathers! I have been experimenting with other ideas and designs. I love working with tule, netting, lace, pearls, wire, and stones. I started creating accessories that could be used just about any way. Instead of just adding clip and making them one dimensional I have now added pins to use as brooches and I also offer a 30 inch chains so they could be attached as a necklace and even through in elastic so people have the option of even wearing it as a bracelet.

I love to give variety in my designs. I strongly feel that you need to keep your customers guessing and try to stray away from making the same designs over and over again. I mean, that's just soooo boring and uncreative. I see some gals designs...and I'm like seriously? haha.

Ok, well that's besides the point...So here are some of my inspirations.

How to Organize Your Bookshelves

Bookshelves can be an important design element in a room; unfortunately, they often become a catchall for unrelated objects and end up an eyesore. With a little bit of planning and the creative use of accessories bookshelves can become an important design feature.

Even a small shelf unit like this one can add charm, and be a good way to feature treasured keepsakes.


Here are some tips for how to arrange bookshelves.

• If you have matched sets of books then put them together on the lower shelves, stacked side by side, to create a solid foundation. If you do not have matched sets, then group books of similar size together on the bottom shelf
• On the middle shelves arrange groupings that include accessories and books. The accessories could include a small piece of art on an easel, decorative plates or bowls, candles, statues or other collectibles.
• For added interest make sure each grouping includes a variety of heights. Lay a couple of small books down on their side, next to a tall vase or candle holder. Also try to include a variety of shapes.
• Add color with candles or plants. Include a variety of textures like wood and glass and metal all in one grouping.
• If you have over sized books too tall for the shelf they can be placed flat with other books stacked on top of them.
• All of the books should be brought to the front edge of the shelf for a neat, uniformed look.
• It is usually a good idea to remove the dust jackets and display the books binding.
• Use the top one or two shelves to display art or other accent pieces. This will help create a balanced display.

An organized and balanced arrangement can make your bookshelves a beautiful design element. Keep them feeling fresh by using seasonal items as part of the presentation.

Handmade Displays!

I love my headband handmade display! Matt and I worked really hard on this thing!

So I have this big event coming up (will announce soon) and I need better displays! So instead of spending a fortune on headband displays, I decieded to make them my own with pvc pipes, block of wood, and picked out the fabric to go along with my theme displays! I got all of these supply's at Lowes..total cost was $25 bucks! Such an amazing idea!

Matt did all the sawing..I was too weak to do it alone.. :P

Drill saw to make the holes

First part of the display.

Andddd waaaLA!

Final Product!

Also, while hanging out in Matt's father garage..I started noticing all his fathers collection of vintage thing. It's crazy to think most of his stuff is worth thousands..nuts.

Ok,well that's it for now..back to creating...<3
