you are LOVED. new product in the shop!

happy monday, friends! 
how was your weekend? ours was filled with cleaning, prepping for the busy week ahead, farm chores, good food, great friends & sewing! 
we are so excited to share our new line of happy flags & garlands we have been sewing up in our home studio for the shop! we love a beautiful home curated with pops of color & what better time of year than the winter months to bring a little more joy into our homes?

we will be offering two sets of happy flags- the love line (first photo in this post) & the spring line (just up above). we already have lovely happy flags up in our home dotting potted plants & filling mason jars in celebration of valentine’s day! it adds just the right amount of happy to any corner.

we also have three rainbow garlands we will be selling in the shop. we have one pink, one purple & one gray. each triangle is hand cut with the most whimsical of fabrics. 

we hope you’ll stop by the shop on wednesday to purchase a few colorful goodies for your home! we will launch the update at 9 am central time! yay!
pssst, there are only two headbands left in the shop from friday’s opening! grab ’em while you can!
love,
natalie

our coffee bar!

i am so excited to share with you the newest corner of our home- our coffee bar! 
it all started with this beat up old dresser from goodwill for $10…
i love creating corners with purpose in our home. corners that are fully lived in & enjoyed by our family & guests. we love hosting parties, potlucks, craft nights & more. it’s so nice to have this space for our guests to make coffee, hot cocoa & tea on a whim. 
as always, my budget was small. thankfully, my parents purchased the keurig as a christmas gift for our home (thanks, mom & dad!). i had some money saved up & was able to splurge just a bit & spend under $150 on this project. 
i re-used containers, including these jars our neighbor gave me, to hold hot cocoa, marshmallows & tea.

i painted the old dresser & added new knobs from hobby lobby. i purchased the large container that holds the k-cups from target for less than $10 & thrifted the sugar container for less than $1. i adorned my containers with brown tags & brown labels i already had in my stash.

i purchased the yellow mugs from ikea on our recent trip to houston. i just love them. 

i am so happy with the way this little corner turned out! c’mon over & have a cup of cheer anytime!

natalie creates shop update!

good morning, friends! 
it has been a wonderful start to the new year! what better time than to re-open the natalie creates etsy shop? i plan to keep the shop well-stocked throughout the year with cozies & other new products.
to start the year off, there will be happy handmade cozies … & reversible headbands!

i love these reversible headbands. i wear them out & about, but i also wear them to the gym. they add a bit of fun to my otherwise basic gym outfit. there are two patterns to each headband. it can be worn behind the ears or with a little flair, channeling your inner boho look like the one below. 

of course, there will also be plenty of cozies for your paper coffee cup, mason jar or to-go mug! psst, it also fits a beer can. 

the shop opens at 9 am central time this friday, january 10th! 
happy wednesday!
love,
natalie
