Pretty as a Peacock

A Treasure Nest — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 20:34:27 +0000

When we got these lovely peacock brooches in as samples, we couldn’t believe how gorgeous they were. Now that the final product has come in… we’re even more blown away. I personally love the colors in peacock feathers, and these brooches have both pins and clips that give great versatility to what you can do with them.

Allow me to introduce you to A Treasure Nest’s newest beauties…

Mayuri – “Peacock”

Very suiting, if not understated.

Mayuri has a cluster of sparkling pointed back glass rhinestones in the center of five natural jewel toned peacock eyes.

Avanti – “Modest”

This bow brooch is anything but modest! Superb!

Ornate, with it’s netting wrapped crystal cabochon and sparkling pointed back gems, this bow will dazzle and would be perfect for a handbag, wreath, or garland.

Aboli – “Flower”

The perfect name for this lovely feather bloom!

Aboli is a cluster of five peacock feather eyes with a cross cluster of pointed back crystals in the center.

Asmita – “Pride”

A gorgeous hackle that even a proud Scotsman would wear… even if it clashed with his tartan.

This hackle of teal feathers highlighted with a single peacock eye, a netting covered crystal cabochon and a cluster of pointed back rhinestones and gems.

Denim Jackets – Keeping warm in Houston winters…

A Treasure Nest — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 14:58:07 +0000

Isn’t it great that we get to wear jackets that are just as much for fashion as keeping warm? We don’t have to bundle up in thick winter coats to keep the Houston chill out – a nice, lightweight coat or jacket is more than enough most of the time.

All that to say: More cool weather equals more cool jackets! Our designer Angela Anderson has decorated more denim jackets with great trims and designs, along with a little something extra.

Here we have a fabulous jacket… and clutch purse! Angela chose to go with another floral motif and this time chose the hydrangea, with its beautiful soft shape and colors. Again, all you need is a little bit of time and creativity to make this set. The painting is optional, so as long as you have beautiful trims, you can beautify just about anything. The matching purse is a great idea to help use up any remaining trim scraps you might have on hand.

To create a similar look you’ll need: Eyelash Trim, Loop Fiber Trim, a beaded, fiber trim and some lovely faux gems to add a bit of extra sparkle.

Be sure to paint the jacket and let it dry before applying the trims to avoid the trims dragging through the paint.

Autumn chills? Appliqués and frills!

A Treasure Nest — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 15:38:35 +0000

I love it when Autumn rolls in, especially in Houston since we finally start getting a break from the muggy summer heat. I can’t tell you how nice it is to step outside my front door in the morning and feel the cool fall air greet me! This is definitely my favorite time of the year! If only the cool would linger a bit longer during the rest of the day, but you take what breaks you can get, right?

Anyway, I’ve had to start digging my lightweight coats out from the depths of my closet, some of which I’ve had for years and are a bit drab now… even a denim jacket from high school was still in there. That got me to thinking about buying new fall clothes, but on a tight budget, why buy new clothes when the old ones just need a bit of sprucing up?

This great jacket was designed by Angela Anderson, one of our designers, and it definitely draws more attention than a plain denim jacket. Relatively easy to do, all you need is a Macey Flower Trim, Eyelash Trim, Feather Trim, fabric glue, and some paint!

A bit too flashy for you? Try using a more streamlined trim, like our Faux Leather Gimp Trim or add toggles and buttons instead of painting designs. You can add spice to any outfit for a little bit of money and time.

Speaking of spice, time to go bake some pumpkin spice bread… another thing I love about this time of year! Come to think of it, if I make too much bread I might have to go ahead and buy more clothes anyway… that fit!

Later all!

Yet another great video!

A Treasure Nest — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 17:01:48 +0000

Thanks to the original video’s followers, we have another scrap-booker that mentions A Treasure Nest and one of our trims in several colors in her own video here on Youtube! You can hear about her visit to our site and the trim around 9 minutes in, and guess what? It’s the same style trim… in both videos!

Again, the Jill Ribbon Rosette & Pearl Trim is shown in burgundy, olive, cocoa, as well as lavender, pink, black, white, and ivory!

She mentions a few trims that she wanted but were on back order, so we’ll swing by her channel again in the future.

Thank you for promoting both our site and product, ladies! I can’t tell you how cool I think this is!

‘Til next time!
Tessa

Fantastic Video!

A Treasure Nest — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 20:58:45 +0000

Oh, wow! I just found the most awesome video of a woman using our products for scrap-booking on YouTube! She talks about a few of our trims and you can see them around 4:15 minutes in! How cool is that?!

We have a number of colors available in the Jill Ribbon Rosette & Pearl Trim shown, but the ones she purchased are the burgundy, olive, and cocoa. You can find the black Organza Ruffel with Single Sequin Trim here!

I love seeing A Treasure Nest’s product being used, so if you have any images or videos, let me know!

Later guys!
