CRH Sneak Preview and Secret SALE: New Medium

Sneak Preview: New Medium!

So last fall we debuted a line of purses called Charm Purses and they were very popular! Willow took some time off from selling and making them here on etsy to perfect her craft and experiment with different ideas (not to mention going to school and working).

While dabbling with charm purses we got a little rambunctious and began working with aprons! They are adorable as well as sturdy. We will be posting these in our store this week.

This particular apron had such beautiful fabric I HAD to show it off! The white dandelion pattern is just gorgeous on the spring green backdrop with white trim--just adorable! This is the perfect summer apron and at our introductory price of $18 it's perfect!

Now, it would not be a CRH product if it did not come gift wrapped with a little something extra. In each pocket you will find a secret recipe of our fabulous CRH cookies! Each apron will be packaged beautifully for gift giving to a friend or just yourself:)

SECRET SALE

Whenever we introduce a new product we like to give our Blog readers a little bonus with our SECRET SALES! With the purchase of any apron you will receive a FREE pendant from our shop. You may choose from our square, tear drop, or oval collections. Just leave a note to the seller during checkout saying you are a BLOG READER and leave the selection of your pendant.

CONTEST

Now we would also like to give away a SECRET item from our new line to one of our blog readers out there. Just post a comment about our new medium and a way to contact you. We will select the winner and send you one amazing gift. As always--Happy shopping!

Waist Candy Sneak Preview: Summer Line

Waist Candy Sneak Preview: Surprise!

Tomorrow launches our new Sumner Line and as always my blog readers get a sneak preview before we put them up for sale:) We will only be posting our new belt buckles as of tomorrow. We are still waiting on the final supplies for the rest of the pendant line.

Each new addition to our Waist Candy line is an original CRH design and will not be found anywhere else! Cori Dantini has created each individual design to match each of our 5 pendant collections. The first buckle pictured comes from our Floral Collection.

The next Waist Candy is a whimsical dandelion on a baby blue background.

Below is one of my favorite designs from our Vintage Fruit collection. This rich red apple is designed against a baby blue background giving a wonderful color contrast. We have already listed the matching pendant to this buckle in our shop.

This little birdie is part of our Modern collection. She stands in pastel green grass holding a dainty flower in her beak. The pale blue sky sets the background and is just perfect! We have also already listed the Modern Water Lily pendant from this collection.

The next addition to our Waist Candy line comes from our Bhindi collection. This collection is vibrant in color and has a Southwestern flare. The Bhindi buckle in ornate and intricate with colorful accents contrasting each detailed segment. Her colors and design are almost intoxicating to look at!

Our final buckle is my absolute favorite and comes from my favorite new collection: The Animal Collection. Cori has created some brilliant animals for our new line beginning their debut with our Waist Candy. These pair of love birds almost have a gypsy feel to me. The birds are designed in a deep red against a pale blue skyline. The clouds in the background are actually made into flowers. The detail on this design is incredible!

Now for the best part! For all my blog readers--tomorrow we will launch these new buckles. Purchase a new buckle tomorrow and we will include a leather belt FOR FREE! Just leave a note to the seller saying BLOG READER and tell me the size of the belt you would like.

As always--Happy Shopping!

Ever Been Caught RED Handed?

I have had the greatest time reading some of your caught RED handed stories in response to our poem and decided to create a contest out of it. I am going to give away one of our Silver Spoon LARGE pendants to the blog reader who has the BEST story being caught RED handed. The best part is the pendnat is brand new and a limited edition. Only a handful will ever be made!

In the comment section, write your story. Make sure to include a way for me to contact you if you are the winner. The contest will end Saturday night at 12 am est.

Just in case you have not read the poem that explains my life and our brand--here it is again. Good luck everyone!

Caught with my hand in a cookie jar
Caught with my skirt up a little too far
Caught in the rain, in the dark, all alone
Caught past midnight up on the phone

Caught in a kiss with my lover alone
Caught by my mother sneaking out before dawn
Caught at a light when all I needed was green
Caught by the wind my dress showing everything

Caught with notes on my hand during a test
Caught eating chocolate when I was depressed
Caught bluffing in poker my chips all taken
Caught at in the lunch room line breaking

We have all done it, all turned red and embarrassed
We have all hidden our faces in shame
Everyone of us has experienced it; everyone understands
Being caught RED handed-an experience not just a brand

CRH Update: Back from Vacation

The Return from Paradise:

We packed up our suit cases and said our "goodbyes" to each other and to our little piece of paradise that was ours for an entire week. On the way to the car I heard the grumbles of "back to work tomorrow" and all I could do is smile. I will miss my family but the inward smile came from the thought of getting "back to work." What a God given blessing to be able to be an artist for a living. No more Monday Blues, demanding bosses, or community bathrooms:) Just me and my imagination--what more could I ask for. I am truly blessed by the success of my business and the gracious support of my husband--my biggest critic and my number one fan. So, though we left our tropical paradise, I have returned to my personal paradise where the sunsets might not be as colorful but the pleasure is just as incredible.

Shop Update

We have completed all the orders that were placed last week and will be shipping them off tomorrow. We have a few surprises up our sleeves this week so stay tuned. There will be some fantastic sales, giveaways, a few tips, and great etsy finds.

VACATION--Relaxing?

Ahhh vacation. . .it looks so peaceful, so tranquil, so relaxing. Well, now add the mom, grandma, brother, sister-in-law and the infamous husband--still sound peaceful? Not so sure. We all have family that we LOVE spending time with but the question is how much time is too much? How much time will get you questioning your very sanity? Enough to live in the same beach house for the entire week? I guess we will find out:)

Though we are at the beach--my computer has tagged along with me. We have shipped out everything that was ordered by Friday June 13th and are still taking orders through the week. They will just be delayed in shipment. Well--wish me luck:P

Accomplishments:

It feels so good to finally have some of our new line completed and posted. Last night I finished adding pictures and changing the order of some others. I have added a picture of each of my new pendants being worn so that you can see how they might look on you.

This is the first time I had actually seen them on another person and I fell in love with them all over again. I also think it helps that my sister-in-law has an awesome tan (that's what happens when you live here in SC:). Anyway--I am very happy with how they turned out!

Giveaway:

Yesterday we announced a giveaway of one of our new pendants. The winner of our Giveaway goes to Wendy (foodchic) who left us comments and encouragement that we could not resist acknowledging. Wendy we will be sending you one of our NEW pendants. Please let us know what you think when it arrives!

MAJOR SALE: Today, for blog readers only, I am giving away a FREE pendant with the purchase of any pendant from my new line. You may choose any of our wood pendants for FREE! When purchasing place BLOG READER in the note to seller box at check out and include your free pendant choice. You may choose ANY pendant from our square, oval, or tear drop line.
