The Fabric of Your Life

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

You would often find me trawling through fabric stores for the perfect print or color or texture fabric to make table runners, backdrops, wrap around candles or cans or jars or just anything! And when doing that in Ireland I have to compromise most of the time. It may not be the exact color, the perfect weight or pattern but mixie matchie is in right? {thank god!} But it’s still frustrating.

I had no solution until now. Print your own fabric on Spoonflower. Yes! create your own pattern What ever you want in what ever color you need! Are you with me here?? Do you see how revolutionary this could be??

Your fabric design can be a digital photograph, a scanned piece of artwork or drawing or a graphic design created in Illustrator or Photoshop as long as it is in digital form you can upload it and create your pattern. Then you can choose what type of fabric to have it printed on. Choose from silks, a variety of cottons, knit, heavier uphulstry fabric and more.

You can also shop for quirky fabrics that have already been created by many creative people and are ready to go. Each Designer has a shop so if you like their style you know where to find more. And the fabrics are divided into catagories {yes, vintage is one} and then color.

Here are some fun ones

So fabulous. The name again folks is Spoonflower and I suggest you get your creative going and get over there. Seriously what ever your theme, what ever your style if you can’t find the perfect patterned fabric here for whatever you want, you can still make one! Abosolutely love this!

Pie!

Wha??

I’m an all American girl {you know, apple pie and all that} so I do love the Pie tables that some of the American weddings are having. You know, it’s just like a candy display or sweets or cake disply but with all American Pies!

Feast your eyes!

I think this is a perfect idea for a country, rustic or autumn wedding. But don’t forget the a la mode!

Art Deco Style

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

This is a repost. Call me lazy for drudging up past posts but I’m not really lazy. Just busy. {which is a good thing right?} And this repost from {omg} June 2010 {!} isĀ  still valid because everyone is talking about the new Great Gatsby film {Leonardo is gunna look great in that} which is due out at the end of the year so another 1920’s revival looks to be on the cards.

So here we go back in time a bit for some gorgeousness that is still in style.

I was doing a bit of twittering yesterday and came across a great Art Deco blog post by Annabel from Love My Dress. Annabel is all about glamour, vintage and sexiness. She has great resources and inspiration for an art deco wedding {which she had herself} so with the sincerest form of flattery I am taking the inspiration and running with it to show you too.
