Sneak Peak

Giveaway

i have read so many blogs announcing a giveaway or a giveaway to-be, so i thought, hey! let's have one here at umbrellastand!

follow bloggiveaway for more!

so far i am only looking at shops and have had a few sellers agree to sponsor the giveaway already which is a good start since my shop and this blog is only a few weeks old and not many people have heard of this blog yet.. it was pretty brave of the sellers to agree to it, i must admit. but it is very appreciated!

thanks to everyone who donated items already!

:)

Photoshoot!

what's a kid to do with only a camera and a roomful of inanimate objects? take random pictures!

i am going to get some oldschool film and dust this dear camera off. it's an old cannon from the 80s. my parents bought it when they had my eldest brother. he's 22. i might just keep it for nostalgic purposes. who knows?

Spring Cleaning!

okay, so maybe it's a little early...but it's never a bad time to organize!!
i am hoping to get a studio done by at least the summer, maybe spring break so i'm on an all out manhunt for the perfect solutions.

thus far, i have found the greatest websites ever.
organize.com has all of the cutest things! i am in love.

Design*Sponge is also a great place to get inspired!

new items were added to the shop today. hope you guys had a lovely weekend!

All For Love

my dear friend at oh, hello friend has brought much inspiration to me.

she put together this sweet envelope book for her guy. how cute is this! i shall attempt to create one for mine. we'll see how this turns out...hehe.

Ready. Set. Go!

umbrellastand is offically launched today! there is still more to come, so check back often! i am super happy to offer pretty pieces at reasonable prices, so snatch up the goodies while you can!

i already have some hearts!! this is really exciting to me!

i've found some great vintage plates on etsy. these are great for organizing too! a good idea for my new studio, which i hope to have done by the summer! :)
