elizabeth scovil designer handbags

I had the opportunity the other day of meeting Elizabeth Scovil, the owner and designer of "Elizabeth Scovil  Designer Handbags."  She gave us a tour of her office and we got to see all of her amazing handbags and accessories.  I purchased a beautiful business card holder in a fun purple floral fabric that I am absolutely loving.  Her items work great as bridesmaids gifts too.  With so many patterns to choose from there will be no problem finding a fabulous bag that will match each of your bridesmaids personal style. 

saffron avenue

I am taking a big step and re-branding my company.  Co. 42 is getting a face lift! I am working with Saffron Avenue on my logo and all the little details that re-branding includes. She has been amazing to work with and I love what she has done so far.  Here are a few samples of her work. Stay tuned for the new logo!

the bella collina

Bella Collina, located in Clermont, Florida, has to be one of the most amazing wedding venues I have ever seen.  I had the pleasure of visiting the Bella Collina and taking a tour of the venue.  Stone buildings, rustic columns and rolling green grass are just a few reasons why the Bella Collina is a must see.  I thought I would post some photos for you to drool over!

co. 42 featured in Wedding 411 magazine

I am so excited to let you all know that Company Forty Two was featured in the Wedding 411 magazine.  Our embroidery hoop table number was in a article called "Setting the Green Scene".  The article was all about sustainable table settings and I am so grateful that Wedding 411 contacted me to be a contributor for the spring issue.

Nothing is sweeter then a baby shower.  These wooden glitter animal themed disc's are for a client. I am in the process of working on the bags.  Each disc will be embellished with a cream bead.  These bags are great for larger favors such as cookies or other yummy treats.;-)

So I have started  a new line of napkin ring holders and the first two samples are up!  More are to come but I was so excited about them that I wanted to share them with everyone.;-)  You can purchase them here and here.

taking a break

For those of you who do not know I will be taking some time off from Company Forty Two. My husband was admitted into the hospital with congestive heart failure. We are hoping and praying that he once again can beat this. Signing off for now.

work in progress-grey and cream wooden flowers

These beautiful wooden flowers will eventually become place cards for a bride who is getting married on the 26th.  This is a order of 150, so there is still some work to do!  Each flower will have a cream name tag attached.  Just wanted to give a sneak peak of how they were coming along.

work in progress-wooden numbers

These wooden numbers are for a client who will be doing her own table numbers.  These were laser cut and then painted white.  The font shown is Garton.
