CYBER Monday SALE - Curstey Boutique

I know its been very quiet around here this past week. We've been on the road visiting family, finalizing the Design Team announcement,  working on new product and filling lots of orders.  I wanted all of my lovely blog followers and my Curtsey Boutique customers to know how grateful I am for you. You've made a wonderful difference in my life.

As a thank you I'm offering a Cyber Monday special starting today.

The code is: THANKS10 and it will take 10% off everything in the shop.

You can reach the shop with this link.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING,

CarrieAnne

Vintage Advertisements for Wall Art and Crafting

Ever since I happened across this idea for wall art on the Live. Eat. Smile. blog using modern magazine advertisements, I have been on the hunt for vintage images to create a similar affect.
This week I purchased an amazing stash of Vintage Vogue magazines from the 1940s and 1950s. These magazines are in phenomenal condition. I hope I look this good when I am 60+ years old. I am madly in love with them and have picked a few for my home. I will also be offering many of them for sale in the Curtsey Boutique.
Here are a few of my favorites - fabulous don't you think?

Don't the amazing fashions and beautiful illustrations get your creative mind to running wild?

Lovin' the vintage vibe,

CarrieAnne

Curtsey Boutique Grand Opening and 3 Cricut Cartridge Giveaway

So its official - I've caught the Etsy bug and opened my very own shop. For the past 5 weeks I've been working hard on beginning my inventory and learning all things Etsy. It is the reason for my blog silence. I appreciate the kind inquires and concerns of my blog followers and fellow crafters. I'm fine, just creating like mad.

My shop's name is the Curtsey Boutique - doesn't that just sound fun? I love the idea of having an occasion you have to curtsey for and want my crafts to celebrate the whimsy, wonder and excitement such a time would involve.

I thought it would be fun to do a giveaway to celebrate the Curtsey Boutique's grand opening.

CarrieAnne
