Vampire on Board

Latest creation, going with the Vampire craze. Went and saw Eclipse last night with some dear friends and I had yet to share the good news and wanted a creative way to let them know about our new lil sprout!



VAMPIRE ON BOARD


Right on the middle of the baby bump 


Design I created, inspired by the baby on board signs that you see hanging in windows of cars....

Summer Wedding in the Works

Since creating all of the bouquets and bouts for my own wedding last September, I have received a special request from a dear friend and family member to create the bouquets and bouts for her 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration! With great honor I am updating her original wedding bouquet. The colors of the wedding are purple and silver. I am pleased with how they have all turned out! Please let me know your thoughts.

Congrats Aunt Susie and Uncle Mondo, may you be blessed with 25 more years of Bliss...

About

I am a local designer who loves trinkets and treasures, bling and baubles, the vintage and victorian, and anything with pearls and lace. I am inspired by black and white photos, old greeting cards, fashion, Paris/London, Frida Kahlo, Steinlen, and my family. I have inherited the gift of creativity from the wonderful women in my life, my mother whose vision is never ending, my grandmother whose soft and gentle touch puts just the right finish on a project, my sister whose words are never ending, my daughter and nieces with their pure outlook on life. Thank you for the gifts and visions that you share and inspire me to be the best designer that I can be. Thats me(Therese)on the left, the designer and owner of Fanciful Notations. I love to share my ideas with you. I work hard to create beautiful prints and creations that will leave an impression on the mind of those who are on the receiving end. Enjoy and remember to dance as if no one is watching.
