Saturday was the big shop opening! From 12pm there was a steady stream of guests enjoying a glass of bubbly in the new shop on the block. Located in the Wedding House Liverpool, the one-stop-shop for all your wedding requirements, Tatty Lashes is a treasure trove of marvellous design inspiration, created by mother and daughter team, Karen and Jenni.
The boutique aims to serve the bride and groom with bespoke pieces created especially for their big day, but for the couple who have specific ideas this is the place to go to DIY, you bring the ideas, they put it all together for you in 1 lovely package taking away the stress of stationery, so you can wow your guests with ease.
They also hire a wishing well, a bright red post box and an old fashioned sweet trolley - my particular favourite. They really want every wedding to have that individual, personal touch.
Check out the above collage showing the bunting, embellished cushions and sweet hanging hearts - all my handywork adorning the shop. These are all available to buy from Tatty Lashes and as with all their products can be custom made to order.
Mini cushions and hanging hearts have been my creative focus this week. My friend is opening a shop and gave me this little project. It was nice having a brief and working to a deadline, I definately get through more when the heat is on.
Tatty Lashes custom design and handcraft wedding stationery, and they are going bricks and mortar!!! As this is most crafters' ultimate goal, it deserves the red, bold, italic and underlined status and the 3 exclaimation marks I have appointed it.
It's been nice researching other ideas and having a break from the bags which are getting me down as they just aren't selling. But not to worry, I have 3 more bags on the go so by next week I will list them and create some more interest.
In the meantime I have booked myself into 2 craft shows at a local hotel. 3rd July and 9th October. So maybe I will have some luck there. I think I will make some of my mini cushions and heart hangers and fill them with scents for the craft fair, follow the scent.......!
So here are some pics of the lovely pieces I have worked on this week. The shop opening is on Saturday so I will photograph them in-situ and report back to show off!
