Day 2 of the 40 Day Design Challenge: Truly Scrumptious and a Special Treasure Trove

Isn't this the most delicious parasol?  It's so pink!

I have named this parasol, Truly Scrumptious, after Truly 

in the child's movie "Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang" (a favorite of mine.)

 Check out the double layered lace on this edge!  A slightly off white cream color, it's delicate and has a vintage feel!

You can purchase this on Etsy here: Truly Scrumptious

Day 1 of the 40 Day Design Challenge: The Opera Rose and A Photographer makes Motherhood Legendary

The Opera Rose Fascinator

For so long, I have hesitated to make fascinators - I mean, really, there are so many out there!  But, when I saw this beautiful rose, I just couldn't resist.  It's so Alice Roosevelt in my mind! 
Purchase here.

(Alice Roosevelt Longworth was said to be the best dressed young lady at all the society parties in the late 1800's)

Forty Designs in Forty Days: A Challenge

This month marked a momentous moment for Ash Tree Meadow designs.  We reached 100 sales on Etsy!  I couldn’t have been more excited…well, when we hit 500, I imagine that I will be more excited...but you understand.   Added to this awesome news, you can see that I have dusted off the old blog.   Well, I’ve always tried to maintain it, but really, it’s been quite difficult.   So, I have decided to challenge myself to 40 designs in 40 days!  

Are you with me?!!

You can be!   For each post, I am offering to share a link to your blog, Etsy store, or Facebook page.  The first 40 contacts will be featured in my blog post!   (FREE advertising!) Each feature  will be shared on Facebook and Twitter – with active links to yours.   So, starting today, I am taking subscriptions!   Starting tomorrow, the 40 Day Challenge!

The Last of its Kind, a Edwardian Passenger Liner

"In 1965 the Canadian Pacific Railroad made the decision to stop the last two Great Lakes Passenger ships and the mighty S.S. Keewatin and her sister ship the S.S Assiniboia carried their passengers one last time. "

It is an excellent tour, we visited last winter and really enjoyed it.  It is like being inside a small titanic. :)  

Youca. Learn more about this ship here http://www.sskeewatin.com

Highland Renaissance Costume: Preview

The moment when we begin to release our latest designs - well almost.  The newest renaissance costumes will be up for September in time for the fall festivals.  This is just a sneak peak. We hope to have professional pictures by then.  

The blouse is a off-white linen, draw string neckline threaded with a silken cord. The grey tarten sash is basic, allowing for any clan embellishment. We have accessorized with a black faux leather corset (purchased, not made by us.) that velvro's in the back.  And finally a lined taffeta metallic grey skirt. 

Follow us on Facebook and twitter to see more details and the latest updates.

The Great Parasol

“Spin the parasol three times and repeat after me: I shield in the name of fashion. I accessorize for one and all. Pursuit of truth is my passion. This I vow by the great parasol.” ~ Gail Carriger
