sampling monday

...above is a proof sample just about to be packaged and sent to its new owner....all of the images below are a commissioned collection for Hannah over at Sweet Dream Events for a little project she has been working on for The Luxury Wedding Showcase where she will be styling a series of three themed tables...you can read more over at her blog by clicking here and I am sure there will be plenty of photos of the event over at our main blog and on hannah's over the next few weeks.......

a booklet making week

...it's been just over a week since I posted here. The reason. Lots of washing, ironing, cutting and snipping, mini cushion making, button attaching, edge pinking, booklet making.......the vintage drawer has kept me in the sewing corner, quietly and thoughtfully creating the invitation booklets.

So I thought this would be a good time to introduce you to the process of ordering an invitation from the vintage drawer. Firstly (and most importantly) we need to receive your order. We then will send you a series of brochure sheets (see last image) that shows the available booklets. You select the individual numbers of the booklets you would like me to proceed with and then they are custom made with your 'very important' information and each linen page is then decorated with applique, haberdashery and stitch....you can see that each little linen booklet comes with it's own keepsake button box for your guests to keep in a safe place forever...... each invitation costs £9.00 (includes cushioned box).

Guests names are not included in the invitation but can be added as a little tag tied around the button for a small additional charge. The invitations state 'the pleasure of your company is requested' this means that on receipt of your order you can personally choose which invitation Aunt May or Florence & Bert would love to receive and character match the booklets with each individual guest........
