Cupcake Hats!

I have been having so much fun making these hats and they have turned out to be some of my best sellers. I thought though for all those upcoming parties I needed something new so I am debuting the Cupcake Hat! I had some yummy vintage brown crepe paper that I love working with, the texture is so different from new crepe paper and I knew it would be perfect for the cupcake base. I hope people love these, I can do them in most any color combination, and I am still playing around with sprinkle options and toppings.

I am showing the pink but as a momma of a lil' boy you know I will be offering them in blue and about any other color you can dream up! This really started out of the need for a special hat for my daughters 1st Birthday, I wanted something a lil' whimsical, part vintage for her photos so I made her one with vintage chenille. I hope you will follow your own creative path to see where it leads, you never know where your next "big" idea willl come from!

New Site, Guest Artist!

Hey bloggers I have some wonderful news along with the new site changes I have decided to have a few guest artist. I called upon my friend from Make Mine Pink after seeing her charms in person in Chicago. Lori Avery from http://www.katiesrosecottage.com/ She is not only a FAB artist but a sweetie in person. We shared a house together when the girls of MMP went to Chicago for Country Livings Women of the year Event.

She makes the most amazing charms from vintage images and sheet music, but I knew she could do something special for Silver Spoon Scraps. I sent her some of my favorite vintage baby images that I use in my scrapbooks and cards and this is what she has come up with! I am so excited , I just cannot wait to have them in my hands and on the site. I have to tell you though it is going to be hard parting with them! I hope you will keep checking http://www.silverspoonscraps.com/ for these goodies along with new books and cards.

Updated Site

Hey Bloggers wanted to let you know I have been working on updating my site I have been working with Vintage Cherries www.vintagecherries.blogspot.com
She has done wonderful work on my site really adding a whimsical and retro touch. If you need some help with your site or other graphic work you should contact Ingrid from Vintage Cherries!

The new look will work well with what we have coming up, I know there hasn't been many new products lately but we have been busy coming up with our new line of vintage inspired items for children and home.

We are going to Debut our lines at the Atlanta Trade Show in July, we are just sooo excited to be part of something that big!

Hello Bloggers, seems spring has sprung and there is new life everywhere from flowers to birds nest abound. I love spring, it is hopefull, bountiful. I hope you and yours are enjoying these warmer and longer days or like me having a hard time putting the kids to bed when their bedtime is still in the daylight hours!

Silver Spoon Scraps has been busy at making some new things, our first newbie is a set of notecards featuring one of our all time favorite vintage images. I hope you will keep us in mind this spring as you welcome those prescious new babies. We have been having fun creating our diaper cakes especially the minis! As budgets get tighter you will find our diaper cakes a great alternative to other decorations as they are not only lovely but practical. The new parents will have tons of new diapers to use and they make lovely centerpieces at the shower.

Enjoy these days, take a minute to not only see spring but smell it and hear it!

Haven't posted in a while I know! I have been up to my eyeballs playing catch up after our trip to Chicago for the Country Living Event. The Make Mine Pink Gals had a blast, many pitched their product. The speakers were informative, and to top it all off I got to meet Anna Griffin. She is just lovely in person. A real Southern Belle, so down to earth. She had such good tips for all of us in business and shared how she got her start.

I have so many ideas cookin' I don't know where to begin. I do need to focus on taking Silver Spoon scraps to the next level and being all I can be as a business owner. Stay tuned for updates, new creations and lots of energy!

I am sharing some of the photos from our Chicago trip, ( on top photo, right is me!) hope you all had a great Easter weekend. My kids had a blast coloring eggs, we even did the shrink wrap on a few- do you remember doing that? Til next time.......

It has been a crazy weekend here, we were about snowed in- well we got about a foot a little more in drifts. It was exciting because the kids had never seen so much snow, we went out and played and the kids just didn't want to come back inside. Since the weather wasn't great for going anywhere it gave me some time to focus on some new projects. I finished my big order of mini diaper cakes then I started working on some new party hats. I did several different styles all for boys. I usually get so caught up in pink and thought I would try to focus on boy stuff! I made some darling hats one with a train, a lil vintage cowboy and one little boy with his airplan. I love the old vintage graphics from childrens cards of the 1940's- 1950's I then embellished them with glitter and my crepe paper fringe. I have also been matching the hats to other party needs like centerpieces, favors, and invites. I have them listed on my site and my etsy.
