1st Day

Yesterday was my 1st day to open the shop. I had around a dozen people and everyone really gave me positive feedback. I had several try on garments in the cozy little dressing room that looks like a little bedroom. 3 sales were made and I finished a new sweater top as I worked. It was a great 1st day!

I had really great help from my friend from NestBoxVintage.etsy.com who had fun decorating the twig filled ceiling with bird's nests. My folks were great help and support as well. The space is lovey, inspiring, and I am sure to have many happy days to follow. Here are some pictures of the shop filled with clothing, bags, jewelry, willow furniture, and eclectic antiques.

Atelier Offerings

It is so exciting pulling the shop together, deciding what to include, what to make, what to hunt for. For starters we have linen clothing with hand painted birch trees, birds, fauna and flora by Of the Meadow. We have made cuffs and statement necklaces with vintage and antique lace, recycled cashmere sweaters, ribbon, and jewels. I have some beautiful vintage pieces. Whimsical plywood chandeliers hang from the ceiling. I want to make more upcycled OOAK shoes fit for Marie Antoinette, more headbands and hair pieces. My mom has made the sweetest little girl pillow case dresses. I know that it is going to be a space filled with the things I love and the things that make it fun to be female.
