Morning Craft & Breakfast - August

At the shop, we hosted another successful Morning Craft and Breakfast this past weekend! This time we made magical unicorns and horses. Does it get any better than doughnuts and unicorns? Each child made two and their creativity soared with all of the color options. The morning also included some delicious donuts from neighborhood doughnut shop Flying Donuts - which led to some chocolate covered faces.

Check out the beautiful creations:

If you missed out, don't worry, we are going to have one every month! September's will be on the 24th and more details will be released in a couple weeks. We also have a couple unicorn craft kits left if  you want to get in on the magic at home.

Thank you to everyone that came! Let me know if you would like me to e-mail you pictures.

Lots of Love,

Wrapping & Ribbon Tying 101 Workshop

Last night I hosted my first workshop for grown-ups at the shop, a class on wrapping packages and ribbon tying. It was so fun! I was a little nervous at first, but the fabulous group of ladies made things easy. I of course bribed them with drinks and snacks!

Every table was set with a sheet of beautiful Lark+Raven Sequin paper, tissue paper, ribbons, gift tag, boxes, tape and those yummy snacks I mentioned earlier. The attendees also had the option of purchasing some fancy gold scissors to use for the class. We started the evening by learning how to tie a ribbon so it goes on all four sides of the package. From there we went through helpful gift wrapping techniques and then onto making a loopy bow. It was a great night and I think everyone left with at least one new wrapping pointer. Each attendee was then able to pick a roll of wrapping paper, their choice, so they could go home and wrap up some pretty presents!

Setting up for a workshop in the new shop was so fun. I loved that I could setup individual stations, so each person had enough room to wrap their gifts. Attendees, thank you so much for coming and I hope you all had a good time! You all were fabulous students and I enjoyed your company. There will definitely be more upcoming workshops, so get your calendars ready and make sure to follow us on Facebook and/or Instagram to stay informed!
