New Obsession: Pinterest

I have a new obsession that I just can't quite. It's called Pinterest and I am in LOVE!

In case you haven't heard, Pinterest is a new online community that allows its users to create and share virtual pin boards. Its visual approach to organization fits so perfectly well with the way my brain works.

Users create a profile using either their Facebook or Twitter account, then create "boards" using various themes like, motivation, inspiration, spaces, etc, by virtually pinning images. These images are shared with your followers and you in turn get to view theirs through a real time news feed on the Pinterest homepage.

If you haven't yet tried it I highly suggest it. Pinterest's site is clean and easy to use. Not to mention it's totally addicting!

This is going to be a great way for me to collectively store and organize all of my visual inspiration for new products, patterns, and decorating ideas. My next home project is going to be painting my living room floor white. I'm loving that look right now! Stay tuned!

Garden Harvest

As the end of the summer draws near, all three of us (Michele, Torrey and I) are enjoying the bountiful harvest from our gardens. Michele and Torrey's garden is located behind the studio, is 30' x 15' and has on occasion been overwatered. Michele makes wickedly good salsa, acorn sqaush curry and her favorite snack, caprese salad. Her dog Cash loves the peas. My garden is ironically the same size (a complete coincidence) and is usually a bit too dry. I specialize in delicious zero calorie chocolate zuchinni bread and my dog Brita adores fresh carrots.

Traverse City Downtown Art Fair

This weekend, Revisions decided to take its craft fair gig down to the Traverse City Downtown Art Fair. After visiting last year's fair during their first wedding anniversary, Torrey and Michele decided to mix a little business with pleasure this summer.

We brought the usual inventory including our newly designed Silver Spoon Ring case rack. We were fortunate to have enough time to get it all together between our last online sales event and the Renegade Fair in Chicago in September.

We've already bumped into a few people who have seen us in Marquette so if you're in the area, feel free to stop by and say hi!

Fab.com

Fab.com gave us a huge boost in sales these past few weeks. With such a quick leap in production, the task of boxing a couple hundred packages or so fell to all three of us. By the second day, Michele was starting to get a little loopy!

Exciting Changes!

Hello Everyone! I have some really cool new and exciting changes to announce. This week we made some major changes to both our Etsy shop and our website. First things first, we have now divided Revisions' product line into 3 new brands! To represent these brands, we have created separate Etsy shops for each of the lines.

The Silver Lining
Our original Etsy shop has now become "The Silver Lining." This is where you will find the best spoon rings and silverware jewelry that Etsy has to offer.

                                     Urban Analog
The Rococo Mirror and the Polyhedron Candlesticks are just a few of the products you will now find under our Urban Analog brand. Here we create an edgy and modern take on home accessories.

Eco Elements
Elements of the earth combine in our ceramic jewelry and home accessory line, Eco Elements. Our classic Porcelain Egg Candles and Egg Sprouts are just a few of the products that will now be represented under this Revisions' brand.





Be sure to visit each of our new Etsy shops and mark them as a favorite. This division is paving the way for a ton of exciting changes still to come. With having our brands or lines distinctly defined, we have so much more room for expansion of new products. Stick around to see just what exactly Revisions has up it's sleeve next!

A New Color Option!

Our Phantom Candelabra, a modern design, laser cut acrylic candlestick holder is now available in black! We have been getting several requests for this design modification and it is now available in our etsy shop. Please visit: http://www.etsy.com/listing/65822732/modern-black-candelabra-laser-cut

Handmade with Love

One of the things that truly makes Revisions different is the amount of hand crafted attention to detail we put into our products. Today Michele is putting the final touches on a batch of Incandelescents, fresh from the kiln. Owning a product from Revisions is much more than just another mass produced object. It is a one-of-a kind piece of handmade, everyday art. It's great having a connection and knowing where the things you buy come from. When you support Revisions you are supporting real people just like you. Yeah for handmade!
