It’s my party and I’ll wear vintage if I want to! {Bess Georgette}

It’s Jess’s 3rd birthday blog party and a girl needs a pretty party dress to celebrate properly. Right? Right!

I also love to play dress-up and thought this was a great opportunity to pick out a vintage outfit for Jess!

Jess loves her full skirted 1950s dresses and I think she’ll look super lovely in this Nelly Don floral and chevron striped beauty. The pleated skirt and pattern will look wonderful swirling about on the dance floor.

We all know an outfit doesn’t finish at just the dress and I think this petite 1940s purse and strappy pair of 1970s heels coordinate nicely.

Now… if you’re anything like me… you’ll be thinking that perhaps Jess needs one last piece to complete her party outfit. What piece? Why, a brooch, of course! This beautiful 1930s brooch adds the perfect finishing touch to Jess’s outfit.

What do you think? Do you think Jess will look fabulous in her vintage blog party outfit? I do!

It’s Epheriell Designs’ 3rd Blogaversary!

Why hello there, won’t you come in? Grab a glass of wine, some finger-food of choice, and prepare for this week’s entertainment!

It’s Epheriell Designs’ 3rd Blogaversary! Yes indeedy – it was three years ago that I first started writing this little blog, sending my thoughts, work, and loves out into the ether. I can’t believe it’s been only 3 years, to be honest – it feels like this blog has been a part of me forever!

I’ve decided to celebrate Epheriell Designs’ 3rd birthday this week with a whole lotta wonderful - including guest posts from a range of fantastic fellow bloggers whom I’m lucky enough to call friend.

As well as that, I want to help you on your own blogging journey! In the video I give you the opportunity to ask me any blogging-related questions you may have. They can be technical (how do I do this on my blog?), related to marketing, growing readership… anything you can think of, really!

If you’ve got other crafty-biz related questions that aren’t about blogging, make sure to head over to this post and leave them there.

Most important of all – I want to say…

Without you, Epheriell Designs would be a very boring place. I adore every comment, every visit, every tweet and share and pin of my blog posts. I adore every one of my readers, because you are some pretty amazing people.

Thank you for being here.

Hobnob Popup Recycling Bins

 

Want something a little more stylish than an old cardboard box for your party recyclables? These Hobnob bins are hand-screenprinted, and pop up and down easily… sweet! They also have a matching rubbish bin, so you can have a place for all the trash.

And, the best thing is that when they’ve seen too many uses, the bins are fully recyclable…
