Junque 2 Jewels, October 2012

We had our fall Junque 2 Jewels event this passed weeked and I wanted to share some of the details.

We had a

 

 

The furniture selection was amazing - more selection & variety than ever before!

We had new vendors like Sassy Doodles who made the adorable door hangers, large & small.

 

Our VIP night was over the top fabulous with fall food favorites.

 

Look at all the fun fall goodness! End tables, fall pillows, how decor signs, furniture. It's the best shopping under one roof - I promise!

 

That Chevron pumpkin had to come live with me : )

Lots of on trend Chevron items.

 

One of the items we added was clothing & jewlery more so than in past events.  It added a fun boutique touch & was popular with customers.

 

I love how our little shop is forever changing, one of the changes for this event was our new nursery space. We collected all the baby items & decor to create a little cutie baby haven.

 

Pillows galore!

 

A few fun Christmas items to get y'all in the spirit too!

Thanks to everyone who came & shopped in the miserable weather. We are recovered & dreaming up the next event already. See ya at Junque 2 Jewels in 2013!



Baby Shower

I love being an auntie & I love throwing a party...so my sister's pregnancy is the perfect occasion for me on so many levels!

Time to throw a shindig.

We went with on owl theme to coordinate with baby Samantha's nursery decor. These fabulous owl stuffies served as uniqe centerpieces from Darling Livi - they were a hoot!

 

Cookies on a tiered tray were owl-dorable!

Set the theme outside as guests walked in with a cute baby quote.

The desert table all decked out.

 This is the guests table with "Sam" framed on burlap. We used Wall Junque frames to instruct guests to sign a baby book for Sam as well as highlight ultrasound and maternity pictures. In the wood slab (created by my craft husband) we displayed handmade white chocolate suckers for favors to each guest.

Drink Bar, we did a breakfast punch since it was a brunch along with a Kerig Coffee bar for guets.

 

Somce of the yummy brunch food. Silver trays and small glasses found while thrifting added a special elegant & rustic touch - you don't get that with store bought platters!

 

We made a donut hole tree and offered bagels with spreads & muffins on the bread table.

Another look at the dessert table, we spend lots of time on the ribbon garland & it was stunning!

 By the front door we purched a little owl decor and framed the shower invite in a Wall Junque Frame.

 

Close up of dessert table decor. We made a big S for Sam and painted & added glitter polka dots for some fun. We also made the cake & banner. More ultrasound pics in a Wall Junque frame.

 

This tree stand tiered cupcake stand was possibly my favorite element of party decor. Made by my craft husband.

 

Cake pop stand was quick & easy decor made by my craft husband.

You can see the marvelous girly breakfast table with tulle & ruffles peaking in this shot. Along with a garland we made with book pages & cupcake liners.

The shower was a smashing success & now mama is ready to welcome baby Sam. She loved all the DIY touches & it was fun to create many of the projects together. Guests were WOWed saying it was Pinterest brought to life!

Frames, Frames & more FRAMES

It consumers our morning conversations over coffe, text message exchanges throughout the day & night time pillow chatter....

FRAMES!

I am just reflecting tonight as I'm home doing "mommy" duties while my hubs is at the workshop busting out frame orders. We are so BLESSED, overwhelmed, excited, nervous and sometimes plain stressed out about our growing business. I love dealing with customers, getting a glimps into their lives while creating for them - the smiles & family memories on display make me truly HAPPY! I wish I could do it all day everyday (most days anyway), our shop is my happy place with a constant eb and flow of creative items being made and going out the door and new orders lined up behind them.

It consumes our life right now...it is our life, our baby we are nuturing at the sacrifice of a lot of other things BUT it's so worth it! The constant paint on my fingers, the sleepless nights & stressful moments mean we are going somewhere - we have something great...and I don't ever want to get off this ride! Now I'm headed back to the shop to create more happy customers.

More info on our Wall {jUnQuE} frames is available on our Etsy shop: www.etys.com/shop/walljunque or on www.2katiedesigns.com. Also keep up with us on facebook at www.facebook.com/junk2jewelsby2kd

Dreams do come true...

This building may not look like much but I can verify that it is a dream come true!

We can't keep a lid on it any longer...WE GOT KEYS...to a 2400sq ft. shop/office/craft space building. This is a building for Junque 2 Jewels to do even bigger & better things!

We dream big and are looking forward to using this new space to do more for customers & bring more great ideas to fruition.

It also gets lots of business *JUNQUE* out of our house which I am also thankful for!

Right now we will be using the space to make lots & LOTS of frames...

better get back to work.
