unicorn spotting: LA

i found myself in downtown LA yesterday and it was so pretty!

even found a unicorn or two at the rooftop at the standard hotel.

more little goodies

i wanted to share some more new additions to the Unicorn Crafts line.

• paper plane earrings
• rainbow necklace
• dangly mustache earrings
• speak love earrings

there is more to come. stay tuned. 

etsy treasury

i was on etsy today and saw that Unicorn Crafts was included in a treasury curated by

eleventhmonkey!!!

it's a unicorn treasury! that's the best kind to be in if you ask me teehee.

frame transformation

with Unique LA about a month away, i have been busy making new work but also gathering items for Unicorn Crafts' table display.

i didn't want to break the bank on the decor alone, so i figured i'd try my luck at the Salvation Army and goodwill to maybe upcycle some items to my liking.

i found some oval frames at the Salvation Army for $3.75 for the pair and they were just what i was looking for (minus the needle point and frame color).  i thought it to be an easy enough make-over, so i purchased them. i stopped by the hardware store to get a sample jar of paint called "mermaid's song." since i love mermaids, i took that as a sign to use that shade of paint.

i knew that i would use these frames for an earring stand so i needed to get some fabric that would go with the theme and i sure found some swell stuff at joann on sale!

 

with all my supplies in hand i went to work priming and painting the frame and replacing the fabric. i am super happy with the color choice and the final product. super easy and it think it's going to look great on my table at Unique LA.

blog make-over & etsy news!
