Vintage Sentiments Etsy Shoppe - NOW OPEN!!!!

Hello All.


Have you noticed a new item on the blog? Yep, that's right. My etsy site is finally up and running.... at least for my Sentiments Collection. I am slowly adding items to sell on my etsy site {hint hint}.

Here is a little background on the Post It Notebooks:

This Post-It notebook is the perfect accessory for anyone!!!!!

It is the perfect gift for teacher’s appreciation, a co-worker, bridal party favors or “just because”. It is the right size to jot down a quick note, an important reminder, To Do list, and so much more. Great for adding additional decoration to your desk and cube. Take it with you….. it fits perfectly in your purse or car console.

Each Post-It notebook measures 4.5” x 4” (this includes the spiral binding). The Vintage Sash Post-It notebooks are made of chipboard, specialty paper, ribbons, stickers, and perfectly selected stamps.

As a bonus, you will also receive one 3x3 post-it note in a complimentary color. Once the post-it runs out, simply replace it with a new note of your choice.

Need more than one? Planning for a party favor that requires a custom order? Have a monogram that you would like to add to post-it notebooks? The Vintage Sash loves custom orders. Please feel free to contact me.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

Floral Arrangement x3

Here is a sneak peak of a floral arrangement that I made for three of my family members. I initially planned to give them something else, but had to trash that idea once I saw their reaction to my Christmas arrangements. If I didn't keep an eye out,.... one would have ended up missing.

I plan to make a few of these to display/ sell at the Market. Don't worry.... a few of these and the notebook holders will soon be available on my etsy sites.

By the way, in case you would like to bookmark my boutiques, please see below. Pease keep in mind, shop is not open for sales. I will make a post with the grand opening date. Until then, if you are interested in purchasing any of the items posted on this blog, please feel free to contact me directly at thevintagesash@gmail.com.

Post It Note Holders (All Occasions)

Hello Everyone!!!! I've been away for a while. I guess you can say my other life took hold of me and would not let go. But I'm happy to say that I am back and back for good. Even though I have been absent from blogging, I'm continuing to work on perfecting my products to post on my blog, boutique (fancy word for etsy), and website. While this is my goal, unfortunately/ fortunately most of my items sell before I can take a picture of them. I've figured out a way to combat that. Show nothing..... to no one..... until my products have had a chance to say "cheese".

I'm in the process of getting ready for my first large Market. I'm making some great items to sell at the event. Here is a sneak peak.....

***I think this first picture sums my absense up well.**** :-)

My Extremely Long Absence

Well. I know it has been a while since I have posted. To say I have been busy would be putting it mildly. I promise to post some updated information and new pictures in the near future.

Stay Tuned!!!

New Product: Clay {Figurines and Florals} Creations

Boy oh boy... the things you can do with clay. I sat down back in October and made some floral arrangements and figurines {while I'm not a big fan of figurines, I am definitely getting into it}. I just got around to taking pictures of some of my items. I know I'm late.

Feeling Inspired

So for Christmas Eve dinner, I set out to make two arrangements for a dining room table that would accomodate 10 individuals. I wasn't sure what I wanted but I knew that I didn't want an item that I could only use at Christmas time. Instead, I wanted an item that was inspired by the theme and colors of Christmas {red and green}. I decided to let those colors inspire me.

This is what I came up with.....

..... I guess you can say that this is a sneak peak of my clay collection. :-)

My Major Project

Great News!!!! I have been working on my Certification project for my Clay Collection for the past 3 months and I am pleased to announce that it is almost complete. I will not be showing the project just yet as I need to turn it in but....here's a hint.... Cupcakes. ....lots and lots of cupcakes.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

Farewell 2009.................As I say farewell to a year that quickly escaped me, I think back over 2009 and truly feel blessed.

The Vintage Sash wishes you a happy and healthy new year

full of wonderful blessings and good fortune.

Best Wishes for 2010!

POST IT Note Additions

As promised, here are some more Post It Note additions.... {custom orders}. I've also been busy working on my flower arrangements, figurines, etc. .... so they are also coming soon.

Busy Little Bee

I'm sure you've noticed that I have been away from this very special blog of mine.

Sorry for being so out of the loop. I have been extremely busy working and celebrating the holidays with loved ones. I'm back and ready to get back into gear.

Over the holidays, I made numerous POST IT Notebooks {that I hoped to post on this site} and in five days most of them were gone. I'm definitely not complaining.... I am grateful that people recognized the usefulness of these petite notebooks and thought of it when deciding on gifts.

The pictures below are a few POST IT Notebooks from my recent order:

Hump Day Quotes/ Inspiration {12/2/09}: Why Marriage?

WHY MARRIAGE?

Because to the depths of me, I long to love one person,

With all my heart, my soul, my mind, my body...

...Because I need a forever friend to trust with the intimacies of me,

Who won't hold them against me,

Who loves me when I'm unlikable,

Who sees the small child in me, and

Who looks for the divine potential of me...

...Because I need to cuddle in the warmth of the night

With someone who thanks God for me,

With someone I feel blessed to hold...

...Because marriage means opportunity

To grow in love in friendship...

...Because marriage is a discipline

To be added to a list of achievements...

...Because marriages do not fail, people fail

When they enter into marriage

Expecting another to make them whole...

...Because, knowing this,

I promise myself to take full responsibility

For my spiritual, mental and physical wholeness

I create me,I take half of the responsibility for my marriage

Together we create our marriage...

...Because with this understanding

The possibilities are limitless.

-- Mari Nichols-Haining

From My Family to Yours

The Vintage Sash Family wishes you a ........

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Hump Day Quotes/ Inspiration {11/18/09}: The Perfect Love

PERFECT LOVE

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone. To have a deep soul relationship with another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But God to the Christian says, "No, not until you're satisified and fulfilled and content with living, loved by Me alone and giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone.

"I love you, My child, and until you discover that only in Me is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you. You will never be united with another until you are united with Me -- exclusive of anyone or anything else, exclusive of any other desires or belongings.

"I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and allow Me to bring it to you. You just keep watching Me, expecting the greatest things. Keep learning and listening to the things I tell you. You must wait.

"Don't be anxious and don't worry. Don't look around at the things you think you want. Just keep looking off and away up to Me, or you'll miss what I have to show you.

"And then, when you're ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would ever dream. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready, I am working this minute to have both of you ready at the same time, and until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I've prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me, and this is perfect love.

"And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty and perfection and love that I offer you with Myself. Know I love you. I am God Almighty, believe and be satisfied."

Hump Day Wedding Quotes/ Inspiration {11/11/09}: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up. Again, if two lie together, they are warm; but how can one be warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him.

-- Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Hump Day Wedding Quotes/ Comedy {08/5/09}: Whatever You Give a Woman

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her
...so, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of s***.

Another Project - My last Step

My final project is in the works and boy is it a handful. But I love it. I love seeing my vision come to life ... and to believe it is made out of clay. Who would have thought that making clay cupcakes would be so much work. More to do before it is done. So back to work.

Transitioning... to a New Blogging Home!!!

Hello Blogging Family,

You may have noticed a lot of changes to this little blog over the past couple of months. Well, I'm finally ready to get serious about this blogging business and thought it was time to update my blog. I redesigned my old blog and decided to go with a design that had clean lines and some of my favorite colors. I also elected to have a new blog header.

I am transitioning most of my posts from a previous blog to this one... especially the Wednesday quotes/comedy. I figured I would start fresh but not lose a lot of the information I have accumulated that may interest people. I also decided to keep a lot of the previous content related to other things {i.e. Bridal Show Planning, etc}.

So if you are interested in taking a cruise down memory lane, please feel free. I will continue my Wednesday Hump Day postings because I enjoy reading some of the quotes, scriptures, comedy phases, etc. that I find about marriage, love, relationships, and life.

If you have a Hump Day quote that you would like to add to our listing, please send me an email with the following information:

1. Quote/ Scripture
2. Author
3. Your Name & Blog Address {if applicable}

Note: Please do not send quotes or information that may be considered offessive. It will not be posted!!!

I will add your post to our evergrowing list.

Thank you!!!!
