The 'cool' banner I added to my bedroom décor! |
This is the banner I made for my friend Stacy, the lover of all things pink! |
This banner hung in my booth at the Acorn Antique show in May! |
This banner that reads 'Toast Bar' is one of eight that I made for my son's wedding in May. |
So with so many pennant banners in my life it was bound to happen. First other dealers at the antique mall started calling to see if I would sell my shop décor pennants, like the one above that say's 'tea things' to customers ... I wasn't quite ready for that. But last week I got a call asking me to do a custom banner for a customer who was having a special family event. I called her back, and made arrangements for pick up.
Thus I got to make this sweet banner that says "baby blessing". The customer was thrilled, and I got to make another banner! Yeah!
Now I have made a big step and have actually offered to do custom banners for others, and I have posted it on the 'Reclaimologists and Other Crafty Chicks', on our joint Facebook page!
This banner is made with handwriting graphics and a great floral medallion I got from Graphics Fairy. I have also used German glass glitter, that will eventually tarnish nicely, on the letters and along the edge of the pennants. The lace is hand punched, and the pennants hang from rayon seam binding.
Oh, gosh... what a great opportunity! I "liked" the facebook page, and thanks for pointing us to it!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly!
Delete:::Sigh::: What more is there to say...you are the queen of beautiful banners and I kneel before your throne! I could see your banners at Dear Lizzie...they'd fly out of the shop. =D
ReplyDeleteHigh Praise indeed! Thanks
DeleteBeautiful! All of them! The baby blessings banner is just terrific...congratulations on expanding more and selling more of them!
ReplyDeleteThank you ... its a big leap for me because they take quite a bit of time to make. I appreciate you kind words.
DeleteYour banners are so beautiful. Do you use paper, fabric or a combination.
ReplyDeleteI made one once, but I used newspaper for the main pennant and it curled up. I guess I need something more weighted. Thank you so much for sharing. I am glad you have a chance to share your gift with others by making banners for them, too.
*Smiles*
Thank you ... I use card stock weight paper, and sometimes back them with more of the same. So far the card stock seems like enough. Good luck in making banners in the future!
DeleteBEAUTIFUL!! I love these....
ReplyDeleteSuzie @ Dorothy Sue and Millie B's too
