Farmer's Market

Enjoy these photos I captured today.
Today, my husband and I got up early and participated in our first Farmer's Market in Old Ellicott City.  It's a unique Farmer Market on the Courtyards of Tonge Row behind the old Stone Post Office and off the large public parking lot. Julian from "Mat About You" suggested I take part in this back at the Fall Festival and provide me with the spot and a tent.  He is a wonderful guy and I'm glad to have met him.  This was the last one for the season and we were lucky enough to have beautiful weather.  It did get a little chilly later in the day when the sun would hide behind the clouds but, it was nice to say the least.  In our corner it seemed to be the party spot for the all the dogs and it really made me miss my little teacup pom Belle.  


Since, I wasn't sure of what to expect, I brought a few products and just focused on getting my name out there.  I met a lot of great people and several potential clients.  I promoted my holiday specials and I made these cute peppermint candy pouches to hand out.  I raffled off a $25.00 coupon good towards any photo purchase.  I brought two of my holiday flower accessories from my Whimsical Couture collection and was able to spread the word about that shop as well.  When my husband ran back to the house I was able to sneak over to Steve's yard sale and made a great purchase!  I bought a corner hutch that has lighting on every shelf.  I think it will be a great fit in my new studio.  "Yes I said a NEW STUDIO!  That's for another post in the near future." Steve is one of the owners of a fabulous store called "The Good Life Market" http://www.thegoodlifemarket.us/  


The season picks up again in April and I can't wait.  I also made a great connection with Julian the owner  of "Mat About You".   We may partner together on some upcoming projects. It's a wonderful fine art gallery and framing studio.  http://www.mataboutyou.com/  I'll keep everyone posted!

Whimsical Couture by MissShutterbug


Just this month I decided to open my own Etsy shop!  Like I didn't have enough on my plate already... but, I love crafting!  I have been creating trendy and fashionable accessories for friends and family for years.  I recently designed and  made most of the accessories for my wedding.  I find it to be a stress reliever making these items and I figured why not try to sell them.  My shop is called Whimsical Couture!  You will find handmade treasures created with love and joy.  I can also do special orders and requests, just send me a note.    Some items I make I keep to use as props for photo sessions, they always give the picture that extra little spark.  That's why I'm putting this on this blog.  If you see an item you want for your session you can ask me to make you a custom piece or buy one at the shop!

A sample of one of my items:

Baby Headband with 2 Ranunculus rhinestone flowers


This brown crocheted headband is the perfect touch to add the extra pizazz to your baby’s outfit. It also would be great used in a photo session. Giving your photo that perfect finishing touch. I used a brown soft stretchy crocheted headband and two 2 1/2” burnt red with golden accent Ranunculus flowers and .75 ” rhinestones. This crocheted headband measure approximately 2" wide. This headband is soft and stretchy and will fit most newborns through pre-teen girls. 

This would be so cute on a flower girl!
