Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! We hope everyone is having a great day. It’s the last day of February, and we are wondering where the time has gone. February seriously flew by! We’re very excited for the start of March, and for all the amazing things to come…and also for Spring! We are in need of some warmer weather.

Today is also Fan Friday on the blog, and we are featuring a wonderful Etsy Shop today with the absolute cutest name! A Tiny Forest is a lovely business, started by Kim Payne, creating stunning and high-quality handcrafted products that are also very practical for everyday use. What started as a passion to sew, quickly sparked into a very successful little business! ” I love to make items that are useful and practical, but also lovely and unique.  My little shop, A Tiny Forest, was born of that desire.  It’s just me and a sewing machine, and I do everything from the design phase all the way to shipping.  I also have the responsibility of caring for my family, so it’s a delicate balance.”

According to Kim, mason jars are all the rage…and we definitely agree! Mason jar ideas are always being pinned on Pinterest, and for good reason – there are so many different things you can do with them. And Pinterest makes us want to do them all! One awesome idea from Kim is to use them to pack leftovers for lunch. That’s what she was doing for her husband, packing his work lunch in mason jars, but because they are glass it wasn’t the easiest to transport. That’s when Kim’s mason jar bags were born!

The mason jar bags feature pocket sleeves inside to segment and hold the jars, and even fold out if you want to carry something else! The bags come in several sizes to carry quart-sized, pint-sized, & half pint-sized jars and sturdy handles to carry all your goods. As well, Kim has an eye for pretty designs and chooses a great selection of fabric collections for her products that are playful and fresh. We especially adore that Kim chooses a matching, equally fun, print for the interior! Kim chose our Iconic collection and we think this bag is absolutely beautiful!! We definitely would love to take this bag to work or to the local market with us – so pretty and stylish!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. The workweek is almost halfway through, and the month of January is almost coming to an end as well. Wow, where has the time gone? We are busily (and excitedly!) coming up with some fun Valentine’s Day themed things for the blog so be sure to keep your eyes on the lookout. Stay tuned for lots of love-themed things!

And speaking of love, we absolutely LOVED reading all of your comments from our Iconic Fabric Giveaway. This has honestly been our favourite giveaway to date, because we have very much enjoyed reading all of your comments. We will not deny keeping the giveaway link as one of our tabs and happily refreshing the page throughout the day for any new comments. It was so exciting to hear someone squeal “A new comment!” before the rest of us would giddily rush to read it so we could all swoon together. Thank you to everyone for making our hearts happy! We love…love!

The most difficult thing about this giveaway was choosing a winner. Everyone in the Design Studio had different (and multiple!) favorite answers, and so alas we decided the only fair thing would be to choose at random. How can you choose a favorite romantic moment?! They were all SO good. But only one winner could be chosen, and with the kind help of a randomizer, we have found our winner. Our Iconic Giveaway winner is….

…. Delaine!! And just for another swoon-worthy moment, here is her comment: “I saw an old black and white photo of a very elderly couple standing outside in a light snow storm.  They were turned toward each other, and the gentleman had his hand cupping her cheek.  She was looking up at him.  They were looking straight into each others’ eyes.  You could just tell that they loved each other immensely and they probably weren’t even aware of the snow at that moment.  It is the most beautifully emotional photo that I have ever seen.” – Awwww!! Absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful right?! Thank you so much for sharing, Delaine.

Once again, congratulations Delaine! We will be contacting you by email, so be sure to check so that we can send along your amazing FQ bundle :) As well, thank you to everyone who participated in our Iconic Giveaway. We love you all for participating, sharing your wonderful memories, and for warming our hearts. Be sure to stay tuned for next week’s giveaway…it’s going to be another wonderful one! Until next time…

Happy Sewing!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Here’s to the beginning of another wonderful week!

With Mondays come another fun Moody Monday post! Today we are featuring Iconic from our Fall 2013 collections.

When we think of the word Iconic, the great classics comes to mind…Coco Chanel, Gone with the Wind, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and of course Jackie O. Clothed with grace and class, Jackie O’s style is still seen today as the epitome of “ladylike” and the muted navy, pinks, and taupe colors in our Iconic fabric collection bring together that resonating feel of elegance.

Turning  back to the 21st century to another brilliant Jackie, Jackie Lee of J JS Lee. Jackie’s Spring 2014 RTW collection encapsulates a wonderful mix of twenties and fifties influences in hues of navy, pinks, crisp whites, and turquoise that we adore. The boxy cuts, sleek silhouettes, subdued grid prints, and stunning hues are perfect inspirations to our Iconic collection. Click here to see more of Jackie’s Spring collection.

Iconic moodboard

We hope today’s moodboard has given you some daily inspiration. As Coco Chanel once said, “Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman”.

Have a wonderful day!

ps: Our first blog giveaway is still running until this Wednesday. Enter to win a Dream a Little Dream FQB here!
