A New Journey

We have been living in the River Market area of Kansas City for about a year now. We decided to take the plunge and buy our first house! After a few weeks of looking we found the one! The process of buying can be a long one but it was well worth it. The house is from 1913, very good condition and in our ideal neighborhood of Brookside! Also- it is within walking distance to a post office- one of my favorite parts about it! I can just ride my bike over with etsy packages in tow to ship out! We are also excited for our designated etsy space. Our space now has a whole room, but lack of storage options forces it to become more than just etsy. This house will provide a less chaotic space to work, which I plan on doing ALOT! More pictures to come! We move in at the end of this month!

Where the heart is...

Kansas City, MO. Rivermarket.

Studio

Getting settled into a new home takes time. We had a good holiday season. Soon this year I'll be able to take a week vacation and devote it just to the shop. I'm excited about that. Here is a picture of our studio with all of our shop stuff. Nick built those beautiful shelves. Didn't he do a job?

We're Hitched!

We will be back in action, posting new items soon! It has been a busy busy 6 months, moving back to KC, wedding planning etc. Now is the time to hunker down in our shop for the Holidays!

An Update and New Items!

We have undergone a shift recently. We moved our entire shop to Kansas City! While adjusting to our new life together here and me adjusting to my new work schedule we haven't listed many of our new items. Believe me we have a lot. I am listing these gems today but we have a table full of items that need to be listed. We're getting married in August and even though we will be busy until the we will keep listing new items, at least once a week. Here is a sneak peek of new items going into the shop now!

Come check out the shop for yourself! We have been relatively busy with orders, which we are thankful for since we haven't listed a lot recently. Our goal is to reach 300 sales by the new year- currently we are at 155!

Have a great Tuesday! <3 Emma and Nick

An Update!

We are engaged! As of 7/23/11. It happened in Portland, OR when I went to visit Nick while he was working there. Portland is amazing! We got to see the adorable city with wonderful food and shopping, the mountains and waterfalls that floor you with their beauty, and a short drive to the ocean. The weather was absolutely perfect. When we came home to KC we had a casual engagement party with family. Our official wedding date is 9/15/2012, the same day as my parents'. Our families are big so an extreemly small wedding is out of the question, though I long for the feel of a small wedding. I have my dress, vintage of course! There will be lots of vintage elements and will be mostly DIY. We will post pictures of the process on here.

We can feel the Holiday Season creeping up on us. We have a few Christmas treats in the shop and this month is proving to be awesome! We are very excited to go through our first Holiday Season with this shop. We have great items for gifts for all different tastes. Be sure to check it out as we continue to add more throughout the season. We are aiming to make a goal of 100 sales by the new year! Happy Shopping!!

Bonjour Monsieur

Gorgeous find my Mom! Amalfi shoes with a sailor stripe flair. It's times like these I wish I was a 6.5!

This has proven to be a very popular item. 8 hearts and 1 treasury.

There are many, many new items in the shop, 18 new listings in the last two days. I have been a busy busy bee. Please stop by and take a gander here.

Also I just created our most successful treasury by far yesterday. Find it here, 128 views, 41 clicks and 3 favorites! Nick and I agree that color coded treasuries fair well.

It has been slow going in the shop I am sad to say even though the past few days have been the hardest I have ever worked on it. I love the new process of listing though, because you can create drafts and list them at a later date. So convenient for when you aren't able to devote much time to the shop on certain days.
***Happy Sales***
