Hey there! I am back from my mini-vacation and all excited about the arrival of spring! Spring produces so much incentive to get out and get things done. This week I have been sprucing up my She Shed to get it in shape for the upcoming designing season. I actually hate calling it a She Shed because that doesn't give it the dignity it deserves. It is where I do a lot of my floral designing, when the weather cooperates...and it is cooperating big time right now! I prefer to call it my design studio but, that sounds a little uppity, doesn't it?
However, before I can do my designing, the shed needs to get a spring cleaning. It needs to be swept out and vacuumed where necessary. It needs a general cleaning before it is ready for me. So, this week I cleaned it up and organized some of the areas that had become a bit cluttered over the winter.
I freshened up this corner and hung some items that were simply laying around.
I dusted off shelves and other decorated areas of the shed.
I reminded myself that this is, in fact, my happy place and I have missed it through the long, cold winter.
One of the reasons this is my happy place is because I have a beautiful water view from many of the windows in the shed. The view is just of a little pond across the street but a water view nonetheless and I love it.
I remembered that I had purchased these initials that represent the name of my company a while ago: Mitchell & Company Designs and Events. It surely is a mouthful. When I was starting out I was trying to let people know what I was planning on offering the public. I had taken an Event Planning accredited course at a local college and figured on going in that direction while using some of my floral design skills. However, my business quickly turned into a mainly floral and wedding design business. I guess that happened because of the floral design classes and projects I had done along the way, which has been great, although I am always trying to grow in different areas. I suppose that is why I started this blog :). I kind of wish when I started out that I had simply gone with name Designs and Events but, that is water over (under?) the bridge at this point.
I laid out the letters the way I had envisioned them looking on the wall. Maybe one of these days I will put them up.
I organized my tools.
Took stock of my vase collection
These are the Lazy Susans I use while creating a centerpiece. I am thinking I need to get a few more of these. I have a big wedding coming up and there will be many people needing them.
I put up a new sign I found at The Christmas Tree Shop. I posted a picture of this along with some other goodies I found there on my Instagram account. Low and behold, The Christmas Tree Shop noticed and asked me if they could use my photo on their Instagram Feed. I was overjoyed!
I became so inspired after cleaning up the place that I ran out and purchased some flowers to arrange.
I found some Bells of Ireland that I just had to use. I will share that creation soon.
Needless to say, I am overjoyed to be back in the shed where I love to be creative.
And, I am glad that it now has a fresher face~
