Fairy Green

Looking out the window
The Grass and Trees are greener than usual
A vibrant Fairy Green
that is visually inspiring
I drink it in
with my eyes


The flutter in my core
reminds me that it 
is really there...
My heart races as I continue to stare

Hand Made Cloth Flower

I am like a warmed up race car 
lurching against the brake
I cant wait to make something
beautiful

Summer is the perfect time for celebrations. One of the newest items in my store is Memo/Menu/Place Card Holders ! I love all the creative ideas I see online for wedding parties and baby showers.
Place Card/Memo holders are one of the easiest ways to add a little organization to your table. If you put a card with a guests name on it in a certain area, they will more than likely sit there. Well you can use these awesome holders for all kinds of things. For weddings you can use them to number your tables, to make a sign for each area, menu, etc. For dinner parties you can have fun with decorative tags which of course can be made to be a favor to take home. The sky is the limit !

The design you see here will be available on my etsy later today. I will be adding different sizes and different kinds of  Place Card/Menu holders later in the week. This is just the beginning of this line. There will also be a selection of cards, some simple, some very decorative. And also a mixed card collection for the hostess with the mostest ! Have a great day and don't forget to shop local ! Part of every penny you spend in your town goes back to your town !

Weddings, Graduation & Summer Fun

Summer is the perfect time for Weddings, Graduation and Summer parties. New trends in decorating are all about paper. Tissue poms and paper poms and up-cycled decor.
Crooked Fence Gifts now has Tissue Poms available in the store. Lots of pretty papers to chose from. If you are a Do It Your-selfer like me, you can go to YouTube.com or Marthastewart.com and get tips and hints on how to do this yourself.
Tissue poms are so resilient, you wouldn't think they would be because tissue is so frail. But, they are. Perfect for a splash of color in any room or setting. And talk about drama ! Instant drama anywhere. Use filament string for a floating look where the wire or string doesn't show or get fancy and use pretty bows and ribbons !

The main thing is to have fun decorating right ? As you can see from the photos above, they are very versatile and can be used in many different ways. I like the double flower hanging ones the best. People always comment on those in my store. If you use them for a room decor item they are easy to dust, just shake them or use a swiffer. Happy Decorating !
