Breakfast, Anyone?

Every now and then a friend will call or message us with an urgent request.  They have a great idea for a gift for someone, and they want to know if we can make it.  Or they've seen something we make and want that item or something like it.  Usually there is a deadline involved.

Can I say it now?  I thrive under pressure!  There, I've thrown down the gauntlet and tempted the dare fairies.  And at Christmas no less.  Bring it on!

Last Wednesday, a friend from church had a last-minute idea for something she wanted for her daughter's wedding.  The couple's last names start with "Ham" and "Egg" and they have adopted the nickname "Ham & Eggs."  Take that all you Hollywood couples with the silly combo names like Brangelina!

Anyway, the idea was for a sign that would have their nickname and the wedding date. (Did I mention the wedding was on Friday?)  We discussed ideas for a few minutes, and decided on a framed chalkboard with vinyl lettering.  I was pretty sure we had the perfect chalkboard at our shop, which we did, so I set to work.

Below are images of he finished piece, and the happy couple in a pretty wedding pose with the sign.  I just love how it turned out, and that everyone liked it.  There is nothing more satisfying than being able to see the vision of a customer and turn it into reality.

Congratulations, "Ham & Eggs" and to the Mother-of-the-Bride!  Thank you for thinking of us when looking for your special project.

The Barn Girls

The Barn Door is Open!

It took a while, but we have finally completed most of the process of re-branding our various social media outlets, web site and Etsy store with our new logos.  There are still a few loose ends to tie up and a newsletter to get out, but we're breathing a collective sigh of relief that we're almost there!

If you followed us on over from either Studio Valerie or Roos' Remnants, we would like to welcome you.  In case you don't already know, Valerie and "Roo" (her given name is Jess) are mother and daughter. We started our little business last year and are having the time of our lives watching it grow.  We started out keeping everything separate because it was easier for us, but after much thought, we decided that putting everything under one name would a whole lot less confusing for our customers.

So now we are off and running on the next leg of this journey and we can't wait to see what's in store!  Of course, it's all going to come to a temporary screeching halt when Jesse's little girl (my first grandchild!) makes her appearance.  We are chomping at the bit to meet this little girl and we will let everyone know when she does.

Thank you again for taking the time to "friend" or "follow" us on any of the social media sites, and for making or shop or any of our products your "favorites" on Etsy.  We are truly blessed to be doing something we love, and even more so to be doing it together.
