we are family

My lastest commissioned worked is hanging at her sister's home. It was a special birthday present to remember a special childhood memory. I'm glad to be a part of it. 

Thank you for the post and the fotos!

Costume Items

Most of the things I do are usually for friends and family, in fact, this is what got me started in the first place. I now decided to open up and take in requests, in case anyone is interested in my work... here's the info you need!

Finished and wrapped. A special customed made wedding gift: a embroidered handkerchief in a matching pouch.

This is exceptionally true when the sun is out! Find it here and here. 

shop update

Some months ago I bought a bunch of hand embroidered napkins that I'm transforming into runners for bedside tables, but with a twist: inspiring statements! Available here and here. 

If you have a statement you'd like to see as last thing you read before going to bed or the first thing when waking up, just leave a comment and I'll write it in red! 

Susette en Paris

Susette is finally ready and available at the shop. 

TODAY IS THE DAY!

Welcome....

Here it is: the Apple Tree Shop and the Apple Tree Etsy Shop!

It's been a busy week cause, even though I have done a lot of reading on how to run a blog/shop, there's so much involved! But, I'm having so much fun with the whole thing! Of course friends and readers are being truly wonderful and supportive, encouraging me to go ahead. Very thankful to everyone!  

Since the beginning, I've had a conflicting dilemma about what I would be doing: embroidery, pins, photography, book biding, drawings... I've decided to explore a bit a each and see how things work out. I've started with some pins and embroidery hoops and hope to be posting new items in the shop on a regular basis. I've got so many ideas!! So please... I need your feedback! 

And because virtual inaugurations are so boring (no food or drinks), with every purchase from today to the 23rd of April, I'll be placing a special surprise in every order! 

PS: # 48 - start my own business (this counts as a business, right?!)
