1. not exorbitant or extravagent by city standards, however in a rural setting (like upstate new york) it is in fact, quite fancy.
2. a wonderful blog dedicated to art, design and other things that are indeed upstate fancy.

First off, what a cute shop name! Hide the good scissors may only have a few items in their new etsy shop, but everything in it is super cute! I love these geometric animal embroidery designs. The color selections are perfect and the result of mixing organic shapes and geometric stitching is simply wonderful. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
Things have been rather busy around here in the last few weeks. I’ve started a new full time design job, a new business venture with my partner in crime (it’s under wraps at the moment) and of course gearing up for some spring and summer craft shows. And just in case there was a bit of free time, there is also the small task of planning our wedding.
We’ve made a couple big decisions, like the date (6.16.12) and of course that we want to get married here in Maine. We’ve also decided on where exactly we will be saying I do, and where we’ll be celebrating afterwards. In the spirit of Maine, and our own desire for doing something offbeat, we are getting married by the captain of the beautiful schooner Bagheera. To round out the day we are celebrating at the Portland Company, located right along the water here in Maine. Their complex has a whole lot of salty charm, sailboats, and of course lots of light! You can check out the other venues we were pondering over at my guest post on Love and Lobster, right here >
If you wear glasses, you have to check out Vintage 50’s Eyewear ( some of their pieces are from the 60’s but hey, who’s counting). Some of their frames have a little wear, but most of them are fresh from the vintage optometrists office. For those ladies, and gents who want to add a little bit of vintage to their wardrobe, or add a fresh pair of specs to their already sexy librarian ensembles, this shop does not disappoint. Pick up the perfect pair and then head on over to your eye doctor and get a new set of lenses, so you can see how dapper you look in them!
