New Look

After many attempts and MANY changes...the new business cards, return address labels and round stickies have been ordered.

Managed to keep my original font...well cause...it's ME!

Kept the eggplant purple...well cause...it was the first colour I had thought of when I envisioned Enchanted Pathways. Which really is quite odd as I have never growing up liked that colour or any shade of purple for that matter.

Business cards are represented with abstract flowers and petals...which I thought was appropriate.

Back of business cards has all the different ways I can be contacted which include email; Facebook; website (under construction); blog (here); Twitter and Etsy (store front under construction).

That only took me like 3 weeks to decide on.

Think it's time to go and play with petal faeries now :)

New New New New and New

Well after a lot of consultation...the decision has been made.

New company colours - eggplant purple and citrus green

New company logo - in the works...I will keep the original font as it is my favourite

New business cards and address labels are in the process of final prep work

New website will be on it's way soon...

New Etsy store front will be open early March....

I have sooooooo much to do!!

The company logo....done :)

So, this is the design I have finally chosen to represent my company.

I have attached two files. This first one is for the wine glass charms and will be printed on 80lb white card stock. The second file will be for the jewelry, again printed on the 80lb white card stock.

I am also having both designs done as an embossing plate for future use :)

3 in 1!!

A triple wammy at the post office today :)

I will update all three parcels on this one post (laziness, perhaps.....it is almost my bed time!).

Parcel #1.... from megacharms (ebay). As this vender sells their items in bulk I thought to save money this would work perfectly. I order two sets of 25 of both the beehive and the pear charms. The beehives are exactly the same as from my previous order (different vendor). The pears on the other hand are just weeeeeee tiny things. Not sure at this stage of the game if they will be usable for the wine glass charms or not.

Beehives....

The Pear.....now I have attached a picture of the new 'baby' pears and then one with the original pear for a comparison. As you can see, they are very tiny!

The next parcel was the Eggplant ribbon from balsacircle (ebay). As expected it is quite a bit darker than the Plum ribbon but in all fairness the Plum ribbon is sheer. When held together in the sunlight the outer edge of the Plum ribbon is really close to the same shade as the Eggplant. Final decision, I love the Eggplant ribbon and it goes fantastically with the sheer Plum ribbon...so I will buy both!! Now as I haven't been able to find the Eggplant ribbon in anything else but a double sided satin, I might go and try to get a wider size (this one is 1/16 of an inch). I have only attached photos of the two styles of ribbon together, as the Eggplant remains to look almost black when photographed.

The final parcel that came in today was....the scrapbooking paper from mch1069 (ebay). I am really pleased with it (though I wished it was not a matte finish). I did go ahead and order the last two sets that were available (prior to this parcel arriving) as the colour and style are now out of print. I think that the paper will make a wonderful addition to the whole marketing scheme as it does have both the Eggplant (and Plum) and Antique Gold colourings on it. 

All in all....a wonderful day to check the mail. I must say that with the exception for the size of the wee little pear charms I am thoroughly happy with all of my purchases. 

Fit to be tied and all I need now is a old oak tree!!

Ribbons, organza and tulle....

Yes, a new package came in the mail, this one from orgazabag (ebay).

To follow with the company theme colours my first order of ribbons and such has arrived.

As this particular company only carried 'Plum' and not an 'Eggplant' tone of purple it will be interesting to compare the two colours once the other one arrives. I guess that will determine who I order from again.

So this is what I ordered for the 'Old Gold' colours.

This is a beautiful glittery sheer 3/8" organza ribbon.

This tulle is 6" in width.

These little bags are 3x4" with a pretty little ribbon for a closure. I'm not sure what exactly I am going to use them for yet but they were the right colour and I got them at an awesome price. As this package only came with 30 little bags I will need another set if I am to use them for this year's parcels. Thinking I will probably order some more of this size and also the next size up.

Now this is the 'Plum' colour (the official company colour is actually 'Eggplant')

Again this is a 3/8" sheer organza ribbon that has a wonder sparkle to it.

And the 6" tulle....

Ribbons and Bows

To follow along with the colour scheme...

I have ordered the following ribbons and pouches from organzabag (ebay).

I love the colours more and more....

As there technically isn't a ribbon called eggplant, I have opted for the plum colour (over the wine) as I feel it has more of the purple hue I am after.

And of course the old gold
