This is a really neat place because, not only do they sell locally made products like my cards and some other cute handmade items from local artisans, but they also have fresh produce! And fresh eggs and milk! And plants! It’s a neat little market. I’m honored to now be on the list of vendors that they sell!

The only thing is…. They can be a little tricky to find… They don’t show up on google maps! But you can find a very helpful map HERE on their Facebook page! (Be sure to click on their cover photo and the map will appear!)

I haven’t had much time to shop there yet, so I’m looking forward to going back as soon as I can to spend some time looking through all the cool stuff they have available in there! πŸ™‚ Another good piece of news is that they’re open 7 days a week, so be sure to check the info on their Facebook page for times!

Happy shopping!

We’re Only A Day Away (From Stray!)

Stray at Home is TOMORROW!!!

I can’t believe it’s actually here! I’m so excited! This will be my first outdoor show where I have a full booth set up and everything… I’m a tad nervous but mostly just ready to get out there and do my thang!

Stray at Home - May 10, 2014 // THE HIVE

Not only will there be about 30 artists, but there will be some awesome live music, craft beer trucks, food trucks, an iced coffee station, a cornhole tournament, activities for kids, and just a general day of fun spent discovering new things in your own back yard! (so to speak…)

As far as what will be in The Lovely Bee booth? Allow me to give you some hints! Of course, all of this stuff is more fun to look at in person so I hope you’ll make it out for a couple of hours and see what Stray is all about! πŸ™‚

Lately with TLB

I’ve had a couple of really fun custom projects over the past month or so for The Lovely Bee that I thought would be fun to share with you! I had a blast with all three of these and would love the opportunity to get to do more fun custom stuff like this for any of you in the future! πŸ™‚

(1) Metallic Mustaches!

A very nice Italian guy contacted me via Facebook and requested some custom metallic mustache confetti to give as a gift to a lady friend of his who has a thing for ‘staches! As I continued talking to him, it turns out this lady friend of his is currently in Japan for some reason or another and he wanted to make a letter to her just a little more exciting with the confetti. I thought that was SO sweet of him to go through such trouble… If I had to guess, I’d say this lady probably has more than “just friends” feelings for him after that lovely show of affection! πŸ™‚

Anyway, here are the tiny gold and silver ‘staches! ❀

(2) Cool ‘Staches!

While on the topic of mustache confetti… A very sweet lady contacted me via Etsy to find out if I could do a custom mix of colors with the mustache confetti for her daughter’s “mustaches at midnight” themed party. She asked for a mix of cool blues, purples, and greens. Easy!! πŸ™‚

(I would also like to throw in that if I were ever invited to a mustaches at midnight party, I would SO be there. How FUN does that sound?! What a cute theme!)

(3) “Just for you, my deer!” Baby Boy Thank You Notes

My sweet, darling, wonderful sorority little sis just had her baby boy and I could not be more excited for her and her adorable husband!! Before the tot was officially here, she asked for some deer head cards with her son’s name on them to use for thank you notes from her baby showers! I was so excited to get this project underway for her. I love anything to do with babies, and the deer head design is definitely at the top of my list of favorites!! πŸ™‚

They turned out pretty cute and she loved them, which was the most important thing! πŸ™‚

I’ve got another custom job formulating, which hopefully I can share with y’all soon, and have a few fun ideas up my sleve for future designs! So you’ll definitely be hearing from me on those in the near future!

(If you haven’t visited my Etsy store in a while, feel free to head on over there! I’ve added a couple of items recently that you just might love!)

The Big Bucks

As of this morning, I have a brand new listing on Etsy that I’m REALLY excited about! When I started doing the deer head design that my new listing revolves around, it quickly became my favorite! I guess being married to a hunter and him saying, “Wow, I’m extra impressed with this one! How did you do that?!” brings an extra big smile to my face!

Big Buck Note Cards // The Lovely Bee

The new listing is all about THE BIG BUCKS! Since the main design is white, I went ahead and made it to where whoever wants to buy them can choose from 6 colors of paper for the white deer head to sit on! There’s kraft paper brown, turquoise, coral, acid green, a really pretty silver, and a beautiful champagney gold! The metallics don’t come across as well in pictures, but believe me… They’re SO pretty!

I’m making all of these to order, so if you want a color that I don’t have listed, I can certainly see what other colors I have available to use for the card! That would be no problem!

I hope you like these as much as I do! Here’s one more link to theΒ etsy listing right here!

Have a great day!
