If you haven't visited us before, allow us to introduce ourselves:
We are a mom (Lucy), and two daughters (Molly & Caroline) team with a dream of making a pilgrimmage to France. So we started our Etsy shop (see photos left) and began creating together. Molly (age 16) is making a missionary trip to El Salvador in July, so we have diverted all of our shop earnings towards her mission in the mean time. You can read more about her exciting trip by clicking the link at right.
And now...drumroll please...here is our shockingly, shocking pink sewing room (in fact, that was the name of the paint we used -- no lie! :D) Our contractor practically fainted when he saw it. After we revived him he asked my husband if he thought I knew what I was doing. "Absolutely!" Matt repiled, "I've seen her do this kind of thing before and it always turns out." It's so nice to have support when going out on a limb. :D
Toile placemats and napkins we are assembling for a client. :D
This is our inspiration board--MacKenzie-Childs always inspires! :D
Pearl Ceramic Candle Pedestals and
Crystal Candle Holders with Moire Satin Ribbon
Bunny Sachets!
Decoupage Boxes
Pearl Tapers
Amigurumi Piggies with Bunny friends
Toile Jewelery/Rosary Pouches
Pearl Pillars
Future Quilted Purses! :D
Fringes for future Toile Lamp Shades! :D
Our Toile Placemats and future Table Runners are pearl embellished
A Tower of Pearly Gimp--ready for table runners! :D
Cutting Table with CD player for sing-along!
Our room in "watercolor"
Lampwork Glass Bead Rosaries
A very faded print of "Torn Lingerie" by Frederick Carl Frieseke I (Lucy) acquired at the
St. Louis Art Museum in high school
A Matisse print I (mom) collected in Washington D.C. my senior year
Molly in the "sweat shop"
Mom (Lucy) hand sewing--we first glue the pearls to the placemats,
and then hand sew each one for durability.
Caroline is our chief embroidress. This type of work is more comfortable in
Dad's easy chair by the fireplace. (Casey agrees. :D)
Caroline hand embroiders our "Mystical Rose" logo with satin ribbon

ReplyDeleteI love the bright pink. It sounds fun to work with your daughters too. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe shocking pink looks so pretty and bright. It would never work for me because it would reflect onto my WC papers too much. Your studio looks so spacious and put together. Thanks for the tour. Connie

ReplyDeleteWell, get on your dancin' shoes. I LOVE YOUR PINK STUDIO!! And now I'm thinking I have to add more to all my white space. You have the neatest, most organized studio in blogland. Is there a prize for that? Thanks for sharing.
