Spring-Inspired Treats



Hello everyone!

It seems like forever since I've posted.  Happy to be back with a new post highlighting some new goodies in our shop.  We've got flowers and butterflies - definite signs of spring and faerie-approved.  Our romantic red rose earrings feature gorgeous paper flowers in a deep shade of red.  We've attached sweet little green leaf charms, too.  They are super adorable in person!

It's no secret that I simply adore butterflies.  I was fortunate to find these absolutely amazing butterfly pendants, which I am using for necklaces and other accessories.  First up is this lovely yellow butterfly necklace.  Just look at those adorable little hearts lined up along the bottom of the butterfly's wings!  These pendants were created from vintage images affixed to thin pieces of wood, which were then carefully laser-cut.  The backside is painted black.  These pieces are so versatile to use.  I am even thinking of using some for mixed-media pieces.

One of my favorite floral colors is lavender.  My hubby grimaces every time we go flower shopping because I always seem to gravitate toward this shade of flower!   However, these shades work perfectly well for these earrings - we layered lucite flower beads in various shades of purple and adorned them with a beautiful filigree bead cap and decorate head pin in the center of bud.

Mossy green is SUCH a beautiful color!  I was so happy to find paper roses in this lush color.  I think they work extremely well for bobby pins - adding a touch of woodland whimsy to your hair!

And I have one more butterfly necklace to share with you.  This necklace highlights beautiful shades of blue - reminiscent of a bright open sky!  The butterfly is slightly larger than the yellow one shown above, and this necklace hangs a bit lower so that everyone will be able to admire the butterfly.  Keep in mind that since these butterflies are crafted from paper and wood, that they don't take well to water (or snow, since we are still in the middle of winter).

Thank you for allowing me to share some of my new goodies with you today!  After all of your amazing support for my goddess art, I will indeed be preparing her for prints.  I hope to have them available within the next few weeks.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Til next time,
Theresa

Everything is just so pretty! I had not seen paper roses before I saw them in your shop--they look delicate & amazingly real!

I think purple/lavender/orchid or any other shade is perfect for flowers or anything else for that matter!

Heather said...

Oh, these are so pretty! And all these butterflies get me so in the mood for spring! This isnt common knowledge, but when I was a kid I had a 'pet' monarch :) when I was in 5th grade I found a cacoon (Chrisalis?) and kept it in a jar in my room and the butterly came out and it would actually land on me and was sort of 'tame' (as butterflies go!) I even took it to school for show and tell! I only had it for a bit though and then it flew off to migrate. I havent thought about that in so long!

Lisa said...

Your treasures, make us all happy! I love the bobby pins as I love the color too! I've been gravitating towards that color lately...earthy maybe?
You know I love everything you create, especially the way you present it.

Have a great weekend
my hugs,

So much delightfulness! Those paper roses are gorgeous but you've made them so special Theresa. Love those hair clips - we should all wear some woodland whimsy in our hair! ;o)

Brianne said...

I do love the mossy green pins. I too love lavender and purples in the yard. I like to mix them with bright yellows; there is something so fresh about that color mixture! I am sorry to hear you don't have butterflies in your gardens this time of year. I have them always in my gardens. I bought an identification book for butterflies, but how difficult when realizing the different categories. Maybe one day, I will be able to identify all that frequent these flowers here. I will think of you, Theresa, when I see them throughout the winter season. Peace.
