♡Feather|Flower Care Tips:

Hello Hello!

Ok, so I keep forgetting to make a post about feather/flower care.. people need to remember that these beauties are very delicate and should be taken care of. So here's some tips..

♡Handle your feather jewelry and accessories gently.

♡ Avoid breaking shafts or pulling out fibers.

♡Clean soiled feathers with a damp cloth.

♡Fluff and expand feathers back to natural shape by steaming over tea kettle or pan.

♡Pheasant Tail, Wing or Duck pointer fibers that separate can be stroked with fingers to "zipper" fibers back into place.

♡Store feather jewelry and accessories separately and hanging from a jewelry stand or fixture or in a plastic

accessories bag.

♡Don't leave them in the heat.. they will get hot and they will fall apart. I only use hot glue and stopped using epoxy due to fumes.

If there is anything else...I'll post it! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask! fancyyThat@yahoo.com

DIY weddings...

Latley I've been obessed with do it yourself weddings! Even though I am in no rush to take the plunge... I just love a party and if there is crafts involved? I'm in. I've even gone as far as picked out my dress, location,theme,colors and songs. haa!

I found this amazing designer by the name of Sara Seven and I am in love with her designs! I'm really not into the big puffy dress, beads,or sequins...so I thought her designs were perfect!

I love this look..so effortless.

Oh and I found my dream photographer: Feather Love Photography

Her work is amazing. We're a perfect match! All her photo have a timeless essence to them and I'm always on her blog looking at her stuff. Check her out!

Oh and this is thee cutest DIY wedding..I'm almost cried!

Just click on the picture.

Oh and here are some of my wedding songs...

You and I- Ingrid Michaelson

Home- Edward Sharped & The Magnetic Zeros

Maybe I should just have a party and wear that dress.. I don't see myself getting married anytime soon..hmm sounds like a plan.

On another note! I've posted new accessories for fancyThat. They're super cute. Check them out!

So sweet

Thursday Lovelies

I did it again..failed to update my blog. It's really hard to update every social marketing site I'm on! I have to deal with fancyThat, my persoanl stuff, HMMA stuff and I've been lacking on Watermark Studio stuff.. I need a intern who would love to get paid in amazing accessories! Hmm anytakes?? email me here fancyyThat@yahoo.com
Seriously.

So on the 18th I participated at the Grand Opening of The L.A Flea Market...and I'm not going to sit here and say it was a HIT but...it was so unorganized, awkward, hot, and weird.Haa.. I made sales but not exactly what I was excepting..know my potential in profits in a night let alone in a 10 hour day it was a little disappointing. I got a lot of compliments, press, new bridal clients, and I made some new vendor friends. So at the end of the day it wasn't half bad..but I think I'll stick to farmers markets, craft shows, and major events.

4:30 am... not fun! My half ass set up..

Speaking of events..I have a couple coming up in September, October, and November! Some pretty big events/craft shows, and if I could make it I'll be in San Fran for the Renegade Craft show. I'll announce more information as soon as those dates become closer.

Yesterday and Today!

So that's it for fancyThat..

As for me I've been busy at work getting more involved with HHMA. I have a couple music events I'm coordinating soon so my mind has been wrapped up in that.. on top of looking for an acting coach, working out, taking better care of myself, needing new head shots. blah..
I have a lot to do but It's all well worth it. Feeling a little foreign trying to get back to my main passion in life which is acting of course. So many casting/auditons in the next couple of months is going to be crazy. I'm so excited.

ah..well, that's it for now.. until I remember to update..

I'm horrible...

at keeping up with my blog..

So, I'll just jump right in.

July has been a busy month with preperations for the Grand Opening of The L.A Flea Market on Sinday July 18th, which I've been accepted to. This isn't going to be any regular flea market or farmers market..so extra prep is needed. For more info just click here.

Ah..my weekend will be spent crafting, filling inventory, shipping, building new display stands, on top of my regular orders. So.. I'm pretty busy. Doing this all on my own can be pretty hard sometimes but when I need serious help I know I could always count on my boy. <3

Here is what I've been working on so far as for today:

My Flower Friends: (there's wayy more)

I love these vintage button bobby pins!

My new display stands! I loveee them they look so cute when I set up at events!

Sunday's production will be all my vintage inspired feather jewelry and accessories.. fun. :)

Oh my I've almost forgotten!!!

Today I finally got word back from Ashley Greene's people..So I've sent out 3 different hair accessories to her and I am so excited to see her wear them and hear her feedback!

And I'll be shipping out to Miranda Cosgrove of iCarly! She's super adorable and love accessories!

That's pretty much what's been going on with fancyThat... working on my celebrity cliental, creating new accessories constantly, gearing up to sell at major events on top of my personal life.

I promise to keep this blog up with updates, thoughts..ect.

p.s

If there is anything left over from the 18th it will be for sale on the 19th on www.fancythataccessories.com

Welcome back!

Yes, I am completely aware I have been M.I.A from blogger!! There's just so much going on I've been too busy to post anything! Over the past month or so I've been busy at work spreading the word on fancyThat from L.A to across the pond!! I've been getting a lot of orders for prom, weddings, and just in general..I really need a extra hand sometimes! But I'm picky with how I handle things so I must suffer..ha. :/

I've started sell more at local Farmers Market ( all details on myspace) I try to keep my where about on the down low and only give out my information to fans, and friends. Why you may ask? Simple. I seem to lead the way for those who follow...and weathers it's new websites or farmers markets. It's hilarious and kinda embarrassing on their end.

So what's new with fancyThat...? A lot, I've added two more stociskits to the list! I am now being sold in London and as of a couple of weeks ago now on Dulce Marina!! You purchase one of a kind items from there and while you're at it have a lookies on what else she has on there! Super cute stuff!!

Also I've gotten some great photos from Lily L!!! I love this gal!!

I am also excited to announce that fancyThat will be selling at the Grand Opening of The L.A Flea Market July 18th!!! I'm beyond excited!!! Only 600 out of 3,000 vendors were chosen to sell, and I got in!! 25,000 people are expected to show, with celebrating appearances... so this should be fun and great press! You could find all the event information here! I look forward to seeing you there!

Well... that's it for now!

OH YES!!

Front & Center!

fancyThat featured on the Front Page of Sense of Fashion...again!!holla!

xo!

Ok.

Yes, I am aware that I have not blogged in over a week! I've just been soOOoo busy!! Good busy, not bad busy. fancyThat got crazy busy due to the Prom Promo that's going on. Yikes! I think I might of taken in a little too much...ah. Oh well. I'm working on this super cute bracelet for a lovely customer that will be used in place of a courage! Super fun!! I love orders like that.. I love when people think outside the box. Like I always say...being repetitive is soOooo boring! I would quit fancyThat if I had to make the same accessories over and over again. Luckily girls like how all my accessories are one of a kind.. cuz if they didn't I'd be in trouble.

Besides from being busy with fancyThat... I've taken on another job at Ricochet management! They manage metal bands and such.. I'm not a big metal head but my music business skills could be applied to anything. I hope it works out well.

Ah..there's so many things to say but I don't want to jinks anything!!!! Eepp!

Ok, I'll just talk about my new designs....ready...?? FRINGE!!! I loveee loveee loveee everything about FRINGE! I started working on Fringe accessories.. earrings and necklaces! I showed my bff and she was psyched!! It get's me excited when she get's excited..ahaha! Wanna see a little sneak peak...?

Turquoise with chains! Price $20-$30

I also have gray, I'll be making just about every color n the rainbow...My friend Sara gave me the bright idea to tie dye black,white, and gray! ANd i was like...YES! This is so going down. I'm so excited for these to be complete. I hope you'll enjoi them!

Well, thanks for reading my ramble.. I'm going to lay down.. I feel Ill and Matt's adorable Nieces are coming over tomorrow!

Weekend Recap

This weekend was a movie filled, antique shoppin' rainy days full of bliss! So of course I had to see Alice in Wonderland... guh. Such a huge disappointment! I'm sorry but it's either a hit or miss for Tim Burton. The last great film he did was...hmm... Nightmare Before Christmas? Eessh. In my opinion they should of stayed true to the original book and they way It was told. None of this what would happen if Alice went back. Completely dumb. It wasn't even just the story, It was the CGI, the costumes, and Johnny Depp. I love him just as much as the next crazy girl out there, but I didn't understand why he was Scottish or why he sounded like Captain Jack Sparrow? OK.. seriously. I'm going to write a screen play on Lewis Carroll and his life and how the Alice stories came to be.

Well enough with that...

Matt and I went to a plethora of antique stores this weekend! We hit up Pasadena, Monrovia, and even went as far as Agoura Hills. He was looking for straight razors and I was looking for buttons, charms, brooches anything I could use for fancyThat. Poop Matt found only one razor.. :( haha.

However, I found a ton of stuff that I fell in love with!! AH! I cannot wait to own my own house! Soon I hope!

These stores were adorned with just about every thing I ever dreamed about! From shabby chic furniture, clothes, mirrors to amazing vintage books! I took some snap shots a long the way..

I love this vintage birdcage! Next tattoo...maybe..?

I'm obsessed with old mirrors!

storage is always great!

Twin chairs!! Adorable, and I love the little green ottoman.

My toddles will be in cute shabby chic clothes!

ah..love it!
