Mellow Monday: Looking Down I

Who knew looking down could be so beautiful?
Row 1: littlebirds, koreana Row 2: nevara-sk, lullabyexile
I don't know what it is but I love love love photos of peoples feet. Well I dont think its quite the feet that I am into. :) Its more the shoes and the skirts that I love and its a view that you just don't see in photos that often. Same for photos of looking up. They are also so beautiful!
You can see the full gallery of "Looking Down I" HERE>> A big thanks as well to Vicki for posting about my galleries on her beautiful blog! You can see her pretty post HERE>>
I just remembered that I made a mood board awhile back for a living room space with that third photo above. The colors really inspired me!

We updated the Lovely Clusters look. Its just a little more updated, clean and pretty! We are making some changes to the website/shop so we have a few more tweaks and additions to make and then it should be in tip top shape. Hope you guys like it!

Make a Cluster to be on Make Under My Life Blog!

I am very excited to announce that someone's beautiful cluster will be featured on the lovely blog Make Under My Life!
Want to participate? Oh goodie! From now until Sunday we will be taking your lovely cluster submissions and Jess LC will be choosing her favorite one! I thought it would be fun to have a theme but I am not one for restrictions so this is just merely an idea to give a spark if your having trouble figuring out what to choose. Since its Thanksgiving an all how about a cluster dedicated to what you are thankful for? Easy enough right?
Here is mine as an example:
{Click on image for sellers page} Curated by Rachel | Shop: Design Lovely
Row 1: Ocean, My cat Murphy, Family Row 2: Rain, Love, Marriage Row 3: Friends, Home, Sun & Relaxation
Details:
To get started please go to lovelyclusters.com/createacluster.html If you need help finding an item or how to fill out the form just drop me a line at rachel@lovelyclusters.com. I am happy to help!
Remember you can use any images from the internet! (Looking through my etsy favorites or yours is also a great way to find beautiful images along with browsing the lovely clusters site.) The winning cluster will be featured on her blog on Monday. Have a blast!

Mellow Monday: Horsies!

My Monday is starting off a little late today as Mondays should. Right? Loving these beautiful horse photos. Reminds me of summer weeks at my uncles house in Southern Oregon. He had two beautiful horses and I loved to watch them graze the pasture.
Row 1: abbyhutch, blissfulimages Row 2: -oliviabee-, annamelcon
I am quite jealous of my husband because he gets to visit some beautiful horses up on the ranch that he works on. He works for a Zipline company most of the time. (Click HERE to see a pic that he took on his iphone.) I think visiting with a horse once a day would be so wonderful and so good for the soul.
Here is the complete gallery that you can see HERE>>
Hope everyone gets through their Monday!

Pretty Red Mini Bunting in the Shop!

Hope everyone is having a great Sunday! I just finished this pretty red bunting the other day and thought I would show it off. I would keep it for myself but my house is all green so I think I am going to make a green one for myself. I was quite thrilled though to see it all hung up!



designlovely.etsy.com


You can decorate your home or wrap a pretty gift with this one of a kind mini bunting made out of vintage wallpaper scraps.

Measures: 6' approx.
with 42(1-1/2" x 2")triangle shaped pieces of vintage wallpaper strung on a red string.

This one is especially great for the holidays! Purchase HERE>>

Etsy Favorites

I was just looking down at the bottom of this blog and noticed how lovely all of the etsy favorites looked together I couldn't resist posting about it. My Christmas wishlist is getting ginormous. :)
My Etsy Faves
Oh man what a week. I feel drained. I am a little excited though about a thought I have had recently. On Maui we have a little craft society and there are a few places that I can get a booth at over the weekends. The thought of having to fill up an entire booth is a little daunting so I have been coming up with a few different designs including more tags and a pretty mini buntings with my vintage wallpaper scraps. Woohoo! I feel like an old Cherokee Indian using the entire buffalo. Okay not really but its sort of similar. :) I am waiting to hear back on the details but I think it sounds fun if it works out. Do any of you have experience with selling at a craft venue? Any advice?

Featuring: Simply Hue

Vicki Dvorak from Simply Hue was so inspired by the Mellow Monday Hung Apparel post I did this week that she decided to take one of her own. Look how pretty it came out!
Vicki not only takes really pretty pictures and blogs on Simply Hue but she also curates for Lovely Clusters! I feel so honored to be able to work with such a talented and sweet woman. Here are some more of her beautiful photographs that I just adore!
