MY ETSY SHOP

By |2022-09-26T17:15:02-04:00September 27, 2022|Shopping|

Yes, it’s been a while y’all!

Now that the Autumn Equinox has passed I am, once again, working hard on all my products and getting them ready for fall and holiday shows. So I thought maybe you would like to see what’s been happening. I know many of you do not follow me on Instagram (@aneyefordetail) so you won’t be seeing products and shop updates.

If you go to the top of this page you will see some tabs. One of them is “My Shop.”  Click on that and you will see all that I am offering! The first section is “Pressed Flower Frames.”  These are my pride and joy!!  I love designing them, love the process, enjoy collecting the flowers, leaves, ferns and then searching my boxes for vintage paper and bits and bobs. For me, it is just plain fun.

Yes, you can buy these in my Etsy shop. But you can also buy them at two different shops here in the Chapel Hill area:

My Muses Card Shop

and

North Carolina Botanical Garden Shop

I’ll be posting all about the Holiday Makers Markets coming up and where and when I will be there; so stay tuned!

BRAND NEW!

A COTTON COVERLET FOR YOUR BED

By |2019-09-23T05:35:46-04:00September 22, 2019|8 McDowell, Shopping|

A cotton coverlet is a joy to behold, and to sleep under!
Do you use one?

So many beds are now covered with a duvet which is then covered with a removable cover.

Well, we tried that route. And tried again. And found it just was NOT for us. A faux-down, or real down comforter/duvet sounds wonderful especially if you live in a cold climate.  But we found that the lightweight cotton cover somehow made the wrapped duvet very heavy and cumbersome. It was worse with a faux down than with the real thing…but back in those days we had a dog (who, yes, slept on the bed!) who was allergic to down. In any case, it didn’t work.

I opted to try the “old-fashioned” way: a cotton coverlet or, dare I use the word, BED SPREAD! I grew up with these but oh my, they went out of fashion.  What goes round, comes round, as they say. And now, we have quite a nice selection of all cotton coverlets and bedspreads to choose from!

 

Below is our current bed situation!

This is brand new for 2020! A wall calendar, 6″ x 6″, with each month showing one of my Flower Portrait images. All are on a soft but dramatic textured grey background.

SHOPPING FOR THE PERFECT ‘BRETON’ SHIRT

By |2019-09-08T11:48:00-04:00September 8, 2019|Shopping|

Let’s start with the definition of ‘Breton Shirt’ :
The Breton shirt was first made for the Royal Navy in 1858. It was thought that by wearing this uniform sailors who went overboard would be much easier to spot. Each shirt had exactly 28 stripes: one for each of Napolean’s victories!

Then, in 1917 Coco Chanel incorporated the look into her nautical collection and, as they say, the rest is history. They were an immediate success and have not really changed much over the years. New fabrics and new, expanded colors have all become popular. Some are long sleeve, but the short and three-quarter are just as popular. Boat necks, round necks and v-neck are all available.

There are many, many versions out there. I have done a round-up of some of this season’s most popular and easily accessible here for you:

#1   #2   #3   #4

 

 

#5   #6   #7   #8

 

This one ships from France but arrives within 7 days! A true Breton look..

FRIDAY FLOWERS: TRIP TO BIG BLOOMERS!

By |2019-08-15T17:36:17-04:00August 15, 2019|Friday Flowers, Shopping|

Unless you are local to this area of North Carolina you probably do not know the name

Big Bloomers

It’s an enormous flower farm, retail garden center, and home of so many plants of all sizes and kinds that it can be totally overwhelming.

But if you ARE local, then you need to get over and down there. Annuals, of which there are thousands (?) are more than half price off.  They even have healthy petunias in nice size pots for $2.00. My flowering cannas, Chocolate Sunrise, were $6.95 each.

I didn’t take any pictures while we were there…it was just TOO HOT to do much of anything. I was on a mission to buy plants and DID accomplish that!

All this for $40.00. Pretty pink portulaca for my hot western rock garden. They had been, and are everywhere else, $3.95. Marked down to $1.00.  You just can’t beat the prices, and these are all very healthy plants.

I asked how long the sale lasts: until they sell out and then the pansies start.
Yes, pansies!
