What I really love about this jeweled box tutorial is just how customizable it is.  You can create a box that fits your personality and space perfectly.  And it finally gives me a reason to pick up all the sparkly items I find at thrift stores and yard sales.

I reached out to our wonderful community on Facebook to find out what their favorite item in their office, workspace, or studio is.  We had an overwhelming response and today I am excited to feature Tara Bradford’s favorite item from her new home office.

 I could tell you why adore this lovely alphabet chest but I think Tara herself says it so much better:

“I am mad about typography, so my favourite item has to be the oak alphabet chest. It was handmade and hand-delivered to me in Paris by Luke Ellis of Kent and London in Whistable, England. The chest holds CDs containing my photo files and little treasures I don’t want to misplace.”

***We would love to feature your favorite item in your studio, office, or workspace.  Email wherewomencreatesm @ gmail.com with the following items:

    • High Quality Image of your item
    • Web address to link to
    • Name
    • Brief reason of why that item is your favorite.

I absolutely love these felt bags as that “small touch”.  In fact they would be fabulous for baby showers, birthday parties, or really anytime you want to add a little something special to your event.

Now comes the difficult part.  What to put in these delightful little pouches.

I am sure you have been anxiously awaiting more news about Fifi and her upcoming works.  I am happy to say you don’t have to wait any longer.  Fifi has brought her new magazine Romantic Prairie Style to a bookstore near you.  Now you can find the, beautiful and timeless, style that was featured in her book throughout the pages of her gorgeous magazine. We even get a sneak peak into Fifi’s home to see her style is as wonderful as she is.  You may want to get a few copies of the magazine so your friends and neighbors don’t run off with yours.  Yes, it’s THAT pretty.
