Hello Everyone! Just a brief message to my friends and family to catch you up on things going on with my Thatched Roof Designs shop...

First of all, I want to say thank you to all of my new FB "fans" and thank you to Isabel! :) I really appreciate everyone's support!

And second, I'm excited, because I am in talks with a new studio opening in my area. They have contacted me about placing some of my things to sell in their studio. Pretty Cool.

And lastly-yes, I've been busy-coming up on May 14th, check me out on Etsy.com. I have my first "Showcase"! Until then, I'll be hard at work preparing for that. Hope you all are well! Have a great day!

NEW: Brooches-THE VINTAGE COLLECTION

Hi All!

I'm so very excited to tell you that I have added yet another "branch" to my design tree...I am pleased to now be creating not only hiarpieces, but also brooches!

Please visit my Etsy shop at: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6885823

to see them. If you like what you see, you can also mark my shop as a "favorite"! There are new vintage style brooches, as well as brand spankin' new hair clips! The newest pieces all have the vintage feel because they are made using handpicked "found" costume jewelry. That makes each piece TRULY one of a kind!

And lastly, if you're on a budget-and who isn't?!-but still want to look glam, don't miss the SALE ITEMS!

Check back often for my exciting updates on all things "Thatched"! Have a great rest of the week and thanks for visiting!

Whimsical Shadowboxes, Feather Hairpieces and Much More!

Hello, and welcome to my Thatched Roof Designs blog!!

Here at Thatched Roof Designs (in honor of my British heritage) you will find my art designs which include Shadowboxes, Hairpieces and COMING SOON: Greeting Cards! I have been creating art of many mediums my entire life and am a long-time fan of Etsy, where my shop Thatched Roof Designs is. Please visit me there by clicking on this link:

I am passionate about my art, and if an item is not something that myself I would wear, or proudly display in my own home, I wouldn't sell it to anyone else. I am a perfectionist! My biggest passion is photography - followed closely by my shadowboxes, hairpieces, paper crafts, painting, culinary art and make-up.

If you're not sure of what exactly a shadowbox is, I would describe it as a cross between a picture frame and a window. My shadowboxes measure 9" x 20" and are approximately 1/2" deep and have built-in hangers on the back. Currently the frames are available in black only, but if you need another color, please let me know. They come complete with a glass overlay. I am also happy to fulfill custom requests if you need a certain theme or color palette. Shadowboxes make great gifts for a new nursery, wedding, or a new home because I can customize them to just about any theme you can think of!

Hairpieces are all my own design. They are catagorized by color, style and/or collection. Feathers on hairpieces may be requested in custom colors as well. (Please note that feathers may not be colorfast.)

I ship all orders within 48 hours, but please give me extra time(up to one week) for custom made orders. For orders outside the U.S. and Canada, please convo me through etsy.com. And please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments! Please note that as with all handmade items, the actual item you recieve may vary only slightly from the photos, however, I will ensure that your item resembles photo as closely as possible!I look forward to creating something amazing for you, and I thank you for looking at my shop!
