so, it was my neices 3rd birthday a few days ago and i wanted to get her something different and unique. i really had no idea as she has all the toys and books she could ever possibly need. i thought about making one of my dolls for her but my husband said it may well scare her (!) so i looked on the internet for ideas on how to make a nice child friendly doll and I came upon a video tutorial on Martha Stewart featuring Emily Martin from the beautiful Black Apple shoppe.
the tutorial was amazingly easy and the results - i think - are really very good. the dolls are super easy to make this way. so, thankyou Emily Martin for helping me make something super special for my nieces birthday.
go check out The Black Apple shoppe for lovely papergoods and prints, i especially love the paper dolls.

hello! we have been busy making new cards for the shoppe (above) along with more vintage prints, dolls and some lovely vintage style Christmas cards too.
there are lots of exciting new things coming soon at sepia smiles. we will be launching a Weddings page highlighting our vintage and handmade items that would be ideal for weddings - in particular papergoods and vintage objects that would compliment weddings with a vintage/handmade feel.
we will be giving tips on adding style to a wedding without blowing the bank balance, some useful how-to's, and some helpful links to places of inspiration around the web such as
elizabeth anne designs - a blog full of wedding inspiration and beautiful imagery.
we have recently added some beautiful confetti to the shoppe and cards that could be used for invitations please take a look and remember larger quantities are usually availiable upon request. lots more will be added soon. it may seem early but Valentines day is only a few months away.

until next time,
