If you pay attention to the post titles, you might be wondering why we’ve jumped back to February. I’d like to say it’s because it’s been 80+ degrees in March and I wanted to remember a time when temperatures made sense, but that would be false. Well, okay, it might be a little bit true, but it’s not the primary reason. The real reason is that I was waiting for a website to go live before I posted these photos so I could link to the site so you could buy stuff. BUSINESS, y’all.

Anyway. My friend Ashley is one of those crazy artistic people who makes stuff that looks cool. She was preparing to offer her cool-looking stuff for sale and she needed pictures to help entice browsers to become buyers. I have cameras and I have been known to take pictures of various things and such, so she dropped by to avail herself of my cameraocity.

So, with further adon’t: here are the product offerings of the fabulous Festoons and Flourishes.

Those are paper rose globes. In that photo they’re hanging from a tree. You could do that with them, but it’s not a requirement. Here they are in a more conventional setting:

You can also get them with convenient handles:

The paper roses come in a wide variety of colors, and yes, they are sold separately!

They also come in two sizes: wee and not-so-wee. The above are not-so-wee; here’s a photo of the two sizes together:

But wait — there’s more! The roses also are available with Swarovski Crystals.

Guess what? There’s still more! The roses are available with glitter, too.

(If you’ve already made a Twilight joke, we can be friends.)

We’re not quite done with the paper roses. They can be multi-colored, too!

There are bunches and bunches of color scheme possibilities with these roses. Here, this should give you an idea:

And just for fun, here’s what that arrangement looked like from the back:

That took a while to put together. It almost seemed a shame to take it apart.

Ah, but Festoons and Flourishes is far more than flowers! Here’s a fine idea for the soon-to-be-brides:

That’s a bouquet made from the bows from bridal shower gifts. You can send your bows to Ashley, and she’ll send them back looking less like bows and more like a bouquet.

If you’d like a bow bouquet but don’t have a collection of bows, she can still make one for you.

Festoons and Flourishes also offers thank-you notes.

For you kids out there, thank-you notes are pieces of paper upon which you write words of gratitude. You then put the paper in a mailbox for the United States Postal Service to deliver. Think of it like slow email you can touch. It might sound strange, but trust me: it’s wonderful.

If you need eye-catching table numbers or seating charts, Festoons and Flourishes can do the job.

That’s all the photos for this post. What are you waiting for? Go check out Festoons and Flourishes!
