hello there friends! I know, it’s been a while. I have a stack of blog posts in my mind to write but have just been so short on time. It is a good thing that life is keeping me so busy that I don’t have time to blog about it- I mean, it’s all about [...]

Have I mentioned yet that I’ll be at the Port City Market in November and December? I will. We’re on the corner of Palafox and Main Saturday mornings from 9am-1pm. I’m starting a clearance bin to try to lighten some of my inventory before my move to Hawaii. The market will be operating (and I’ll [...]

A whole gaggle of new bow ties are in the shop for fall in hues that’ll fit right in with your pumpkin-pie-eating and corn-maze-wandering. Check ‘em. And, remember those camo bow ties? A mention on Valet assured that they sold out in an hour. I’m working on another batch that it’ll be in the shop [...]

How cute are these two? They are so in love- as am I with the fact that I get to make bow ties for people to wear on such important and lovely days. Look! It’s on the cake topper too! Love love love. I’ve added these images to the gallery- keep sending them my way! [...]

Happy Friday friends! Just a little update here that does not involve my darling girl. There’s a whole batch of new journals in the shop and they’ll be packed in the car bright and early tomorrow morning for the Palafox Market. Yes! We’ll be back at the market after a 6 week babycation. Please be [...]

I love love love getting photos from brides and grooms for whom I’ve done custom work. And, lookie what I got in the mail this week! These were a set of teal ties that I made with the attendants’ names screenprinted in silver on the side, and compasses screenprinted going off the end. The tipping [...]

I really didn’t plan on this happening. My last set of bow ties ended up being all matchy-matchy. I think it’s because several months ago I organized all of my “turn into bow ties someday” clothing into colors and so they happened to all be next to one another when it was time to make [...]

ok, so I did tell myself that I really shouldn’t buy any more books to make into journals until I went through the ones that I had- but goodness me… how could I resist these guys?! Jack and I ventured out early this morning to hit up a huge charity yard sale at the fairgrounds [...]

good day friends. I hate to announce that the summer is here in Florida. That means that I am hiding inside my house, blinds closed, fans on high power, wishing that I was somewhere else. I just keep saying to myself, “this is your last summer here Laura, enjoy it”, and I am trying to [...]

I love it when I can look through my stash of thrifted neckties and find several that are similar. All four of these ties were manufactured in different cities, for different companies, at different times, and worn by different men, working different jobs. All made their way one way or another to Pensacola, FL where [...]
