weekly giveaway -pretty swell:

this week we have a lovely new up and coming shop: pretty swell. katie makes the most fabulous flower garlands, perfect for a party, wedding, or just to hang as decor. i really love her use of colors and styling in her photos. one lucky winner will win a 6 flower custom garland and Custom Fabric Flower Hair Pin!

Hello! Please tell us a little about yourself! I was born and raised in Las Vegas and I now live in Hawaii on the island of Oahu. I am a wife and a mom. I went to school at BYU and received a BFA in Studio Art. I love many things…. some of them are the ocean, surfing, painting, crafting, baking, riding bikes and being happy!

What inspires you from day to day? Lots of things inspire me… My best ideas come when I get out into the world. Being outdoors and looking at the details of the beautiful world we live in. I also find inspiration in traveling and seeing the people of the world.

People who don’t just talk about the things the want to do…. they actually DO them. Those people really inspire me.

I also get ideas and inspiration from other people through pictures, magazines and lovely blogs of course!

How did you get started making your beautiful items? I created them for a friends birthday party. I ended up combining two item trends (garlands and handmade flowers) to create my own item..... Fabric Flower Garlands! At the party people seemed to like them and I loved how whimsical they were. As an added bonus, I enjoyed making them. So I decided to make an Etsy shop!
