Heather of Pretty Petals boutique!

This giveaway was sooo much fun! I have pictures of my new items but I am having trouble getting them uploaded on wordpress, I just started listing a few pieces at a time on my site. I have been so busy with wholesale orders that I haven’t had the time to list or photograph all of it, but please do check out the new line so far.
I am starting a new blog with Blogspot, so much easier to post and work with. My URl is going to be different and as soon as I have it up and running I’ll post on this blog the URL. When I get it up and running, I’ll do another giveaway to launch it.

Yes, it is that time of year again where I am on the constant go between house work, kids school and activities, and work. Every year I say I am going to make holiday items during the summer and have my Christmas cards done before August. Christmas cards did not happen but a few holiday items did. I got a jump on making holiday items so for once I feel less stressed about scrambling around. Some of my holiday items are already on my site with much more on the way. I just listed some poinsettias, besides red I made them in pink which I need to get back over to my site and finish listing.

I have soooo many projects I need to finish but laundry keeps calling. I hung up but it found the redail. Kids and I just named the mountain it formed, it also erupted. I have so many more to finish and list! Where is that magic laundry wand?

Join the gang at Make Mine Pink for a shop hop this week! Lots of prizes to be won as well as raising money to find a cure for breast cancer. Click on the link and register and have fun hopping through the shops at Make Mine Pink.
I also have a Pink October page, 20 percent of the sales will go to the Komen Foundation in honor of my friend Deena whom is battling the disease. You can read about her story and follow her progress here.

On top of laundry, I have some wholesale orders to fill. One store that sells clothes wants the silk painted in a tealish tourqoise blueish with some ivory cream. Love a challange. Also need to paint silk in a real vintage aged tea stain color, this is goint to be fun. So inbetween shuffling laundry around I will be cutting fabric and painting.

These four roses are being shipped out to a dear sweet pink sister today.

I love sachet’s but wanted to do a twist on them since most end up in a drawer tucked away. I found various parfait glasses and milk glass and I have a truck load of fabric. I had Patricia Rose blend together some signature scents for me.

These are so pretty sitting on dresser or hutch.

I love this cottage one filled with a harvest scent.

This weeks Pink Friday theme is “Nifty Nursery”! I made all kind of items for my babies for their rooms and had so much fun doing it. So I couldn’t help but create some treasures for this friday.

Since I also love making christmas items I just had to come up with a Baby’s First Christmas ornament. The lettering is hand painted by me.

The ornaments can be personalized and come with extra vintage style tags.

These cute little pillows are to hang in baby’s room or on the door knob. they are woven with vintage style trim and decked with my handmade roses, I even painted the lettering. check out my site to see more! visit Make Mine Pink this Pink Friday for more great boutiques featuring baby items

It is show and tell Monday at Make Mine pink. Here is what I have been working on this weekend. This weekend I finished making the weeks batch of hand painted roses, I make about one a week. I also made another batch of the locket necklaces with the anitique buttons. I did a different clasp this time, this one features my handmade rosettes.

Most of the ivory roses are sold already along with a few of the pinks. I will be starting another batch in a few days.

I love how this batch of lockets turned out.

One of the lockets sold before I had all of them done. I will be listing theses tonight. Contact me through my site or e-mail me at info@meadowstreet.com to reserve any items before listing.

A few more pairs of earrings and a bracelet, more coming soon.
I will be listing roses later today through tomorrow.

This tussie mussie pin went fast!! I was only able to get three more dozen of the filigree at the moment, they still need to be plated before I can make them. I should have them plated in a few weeks, contact me to reserve one, I will be able to make them in any color. i am plating most of the filigrees for the tussie mussies in antique gold.

OK, who wouldn’t want to wear a tiara? Make Mine pink is having a tiara contest. In order to enter you must make your tiara and take a picture of you wearing it. I hope to have a tiara cram session this weekend. The winner get the following:

I started making these along time ago, it’s been a few years since I made up a batch. I just love them. They are handpainted out of 100% silk fabric and then texturized and sewn into a rose.

I just started listing them on my site Meadow Street and should have more listed this weekend.
