cosmic string

Hello, starshines.  

One of my favorite things about being out of Manhattan is being able to see the night sky.  So today I'd like to share with you some of my favorite cosmos-inspired art.

I also wanted to let you know that my macbook power cord has zonked out, so although I managed to schedule a few posts before my battery completely ran out, I won't be able to answer comments until my new cord arrives on Thursday or Friday.  I hope you have a lovely couple of days!

home away from home

Lately I have just been loving vintage campers.

I love the idea of having a little home that could come with me wherever I go! 

And when I say 'home' I really kind of mean 'mobile studio.'  Of course.

How cute is this one, with polka-dots and bunting?  And that window-box of flowers is just perfect.

I love the bright, cozy feeling of this camper. It's in one of my favorite color combinations.

I'd feel like Belle answering the Dutch-style door of this cutie.  And you all know how much I love to feel like Belle.

Of course, I couldn't talk about vintage campers without mentioning Miss Kaelah's adorable Honeybean!

I hope you're having a wonderful evening and that it isn't too hot where you are!

one pretty thing

Well, hi there!  Time for another edition of One Pretty Thing.

I found this robin's egg shell outside our house a few days ago while my mom and I were working on our front flower garden.  It's the prettiest color-- robin's egg blue, of course!  This little shell is truly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.  What a wonderful reminder that even in our intensely digital  and technological age, some of the most purely amazing things are simple and natural.  It's so inspirational to have in my studio.

I hope you're having a great Thursday!

fae flowers

I'm so excited about these pretty floral crowns!  They're a perfect way to bring whimsy to a bridal, prom, or graduation ensemble, or to add a little bit of magic to every day.  Check out more photos and choose one for yourself in the shop.

If you'd love a fairy-crown but you'd prefer a different color, just let me know!  Just click the little email icon in the top right-hand corner of the blog, or send me a conversation on Etsy.  I'd love to work with you to create something special!

Have a beautiful evening!

blog redesign!

Hi everyone!

I did a little redesigning on Julie Rose Sews yesterday.

(If you're looking at this in an RSS reader, click through to check out the changes!)

I kept the overall colors and feeling of the blog, but now there's a horizontal navigation bar so you can more easily find what you're looking for, a cute new banner with some of my little illustrations, and fun new social media buttons so we can be friends all over the internet!

I'd love to know what you think of the redesign!

Have a wonderful day!
