Wood and wire

A woodworker friend, Kevin Conlon turned me on to this blog recently. Love this concept.

Wow, amazing finesse with wire! Thanks for sharing E Jo Manning.

Uptown Modern

I went to Uptown Modern recently and damn near hyperventilated. Here is a bit of what I drooled all over..

First Rental Pieces

Still trying to settle on a name for it...for the moment I like Brag Provisions: a provider of quality, locally handcrafted metal and wood props for weddings and events. This idea won't happen over night, but I'm taking baby steps to make happen and I will get there...and this will not be your average event rental stuff!

We will have artisan made candelabras, table centerpieces, flower stands, easels, cake risers, arbors, accent tables and much, much more! With a solid professional background, a hand in event production, an eye for interior design and a passion for creating quality metal and wood work, Brag Provisions will bring Austin the BEST in event decor rentals. Here is a quick snapshot of the first set of 3 cascading candelabras. Ideal for an event with a more modern design but with a warm, playful feel. The cascading candelabras will have table centerpiece accompaniments with a similar design theme. The tallest candelabra is approx. 4 ft tall with a sturdy base and can be adorned with flowers in addition to the candles or in place of the candles. Stay tuned for more. It takes time to create quality crafted work, but it'll be worth your wait!

Uptown Modern!

I am thrilled to share that Jean from Uptown Modern, one of my most favorite stores in Austin, has taken on my Tiki Chick limited collection! We will be working on some other pieces, variations of the fishies as well. If you haven't been to Uptown Modern yet, pay them a visit and be prepared to drool over all the cool and unusual things they have. I can also take your custom Tikichick and Fishies orders directly and if you order soon, they will be ready for Christmas delivery! Prices vary depending on desired size.

My good friend in Corpus sent me this pic...something random he found on the internet. He said it reminded him of me...the wierdest thing is that it looks exactly like my mama...and me! I still don't know who it is but i love the pic!
