Personalized Wine Bottles

This custom-etched wine bottle was ordered as a sample for a project we're working on right now. The bottle is full sized without a cork, completely clean and empty. We'll be using etched wine bottles as the vessel for the invitation to a hawaii wedding! So excited to see the finished product!

Designing an eco-minded space

In and Eco-minded space, decorative things become functional and functional things become decoration! Take a look at a few of these detail shots in our retail space. Our window display boxes are made from vintage desk draws, mounted to the wall. Use old frames and cluster them to make a large wall art installation. Invest in lovely paper floral arrangements that are made from recycled paper and last much longer than fresh flowers. Flowers just like these can be ordered in our studio! We also have a birdcage standing as a display item on a cabinet and have reclaimed an old secretary desk for our work station.

2011!

Well 2010 was a poor blogging year for me. We had sooo much going on at Copper Willow, the chatter about it just couldn't keep up! While others are making resolutions to lose weight and cut out chocolate, I'm resolving to blog more. Can't be hard to sit down and write about all of our fun work, right? I'll start by posting a few on some great wedding invitations that I overlooked last year! Maybe by the holidays this year, I'll have talked about the 2010 holidays

.

First off, I wanted to share some pics of our space in the arts district. We moved a year ago and we've posted pictures of the space in action, but here's our lovely retail & consultation area in peace and quiet! This is the way our clients see the space because we meet one on one. And thanks to our lovely Kara Frans , we can now offer hot drinks and have great photos to share!

Sparrow at our 12/4 & 5 event

We're thrilled to begin posting about our fantastic shopping event participants! First up is Sparrow, an eco-friendly baby and children's online boutique. Cared for by Terrie Owen, she will be bringing the finest in kid's green gift items for the holidays!

Here's Sparrow & Terrie's story:

In 2006 while pregnant, the idea for Sparrow was born out of the need to bring meaningful,eco-friendly, well designed baby and childrens gear to my local neighborhood. I had looked for what I liked ,wanted and needed and it could'nt be found,so I decided to do something about it. Together with my husband Brian, we opened Sparrow with a small well edited selection of clothing, toys and unique furniture pieces. We hope to spread our positive message of sustainable business practices, recycling,re-using,and re-ducing whenever possible.

At Sparrow we believe parents with their kids, can begin life green! I hope you enjoy shopping at sparrow.

Sparrow...... featuring sustainable products made with quality and care.
