What was that? Oh yep! Etsy shop launched!

by emilyalder on Feb 11, 2012 • 1 Comment

The Alder Designs Etsy shop is live. After a big week, we are so glad that we hit our goal and set everything up. We will be adding new items daily, but for now we are pretty excited about what we have going on. A lot of it was inspired by Valentine’s Day so we put together a little dessert table inspiration. Major thanks to Ali Winston Photography & Jessica Murray Designs for all their help. They are seriously AMAZING!

Anyways, here is a couple photos of the shoot with our etsy products:

Ooooh so fun. We had the best time putting together all of the treats & and goodies. Pink, glitter, & sparkle… everything nice.

Dig it? We really hope so! Make sure to check it out and grab some last minute Valentine’s Day goodies!

Weekend Warmup

by emilyalder on Feb 10, 2012 • No Comments

PHEW. What a week. It flew by. BUT it was a huge week. Met great people, connected with some awesome bloggers, did a wonderful valentines shoot, and prepared to launch our etsy shop. Pretty sweet, right?

Here are some fun personal shots of the shoot yesterday with Ali from Ali Winston Photography & Jessi from Jessica Murray Designs.

So much sparkle it makes me smile.

I have also found my new favorite festive nail color.

Essie’s Watermelon is the perfect color for V-Day. A seriously bright pink. I love it.

I cannot explain how much I love this collage of photos. It is a simple but wonderful way to document your little one joining the world. Something to keep in mind for our next one. {source}

The perfect wedding table inspiration.

This is beyond perfect. A must send to the wedding planner!

Have a lovely weekend and stay tuned for the launch of Alder Designs Etsy shop later today (hopefully)!

Happppppy Weekend!

Pop Up Shop Goodies!

by emilyalder on Feb 8, 2012 • No Comments

We quickly hopped on 100 Layer Cake‘s Pop Up Shop with Chez Renee last week. We have been major fans of the shop for a while now and this was the perfect opportunity to indulge. We purchased a gift certificate and got it via email yesterday. This morning we went on a little shopping spree and picked up these goodies…

A sweet little set of Milk Glasses and Basket. Perfect for flowers on the dinner table.

The most wonderful recycled wood cubby to house our crafting supplies.

A fabulous 3 tier wire basket to organize yummy kitchen treats.

Yup. We lucked out! Some serious awesome home goods.

Now for some more items we are coveting.

A pretty painting for the walls

A lighted Bar Sign

A rustic bakery basket

The prettiest 12 diamond pave ring

A gorgeous vintage display box set

those are just a few! See the rest at Chez Renee

Coming Soon….

I am VERY excited to announce that after much anticipation, preparation and questioning my creative abilities I am finally, almost ready to launch my Etsy shop. This is something I have been working on since last Fourth of July. I originally wanted to open by the end of the summer, but life got away from me and the whole idea was put on the back burner. Although it was something I was constantly thinking about and hoping that one day I would get it off that back burner.

So, one of my first goal as we began 2012 was to get my shop up and running. I was going to attempt to create a shop on my own site. But with everything going on I am going to save that idea for alter and start on Etsy. Hoping I can get a bit of a following that will lead into opening my own shop.

I have been crafting quite a bit for the past couple of weeks and have gathered some old projects to create an inventory. It has become abundantly clear to me that it will be mostly a party supplies shop. I will constantly try new things and create new items, but all of what I have now are projects that I have enjoyed doing for a while now. Something that comes naturally.

Yay! Interested? I hope so!

Here is a sneak peek:

Please check back this weekend or early next week for the official announcement and opening! Yipee!!

Thank you for helping to push me to try all of these fun ideas and providing motivation to keep working on this amazing creative outlet. I couldn’t do it without all of your support!

“Hello!
I’m a lover of brown paper packages tied up with string. With pops of color. This shop is a collection of a few of my favorite things – items that I use for wrapping gifts or crafting – like glassine bags, colorful shipping tags, classic twines and ribbon.
I’m having the most fun curating inspired kits of coordinating wrapping supplies and accessories – so that you can enjoy crafting and wrapping with a lovely collection of bits and pieces to play with!
I have big plans for so much more, and am excited to share with you. Please convo me or send a note to knotandbow [at] gmail [dot] com to receive my monthly newsletter, which contains new product information and fun ideas!
If you see something you like, but would like a larger quantity, please feel free to convo me. I’m always happy to make up custom orders.
Have fun looking around!

A Fabulous Bash I Wish I Was At

This whole New Years set up is BEYOND amazing. I cannot get over how fun & sparkly everything is. The combo of Gold, Black, & White is to die for.

Did you see those gold-rimmed champagne glasses? I am doing that for my next party, for sure. They would be perfect for a bachelorette party or anniversary party. Or New Years, obviously.

All in all this party rocks and I had to share. Thanks to The Sweetest Occasion for brining it to the inter-webs for everyone to see!
