The School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Potter stopped by the shop this week.  Harry Potter that is.  I had a custom request from a lovely customer for a Harry Potter set including Hagrid, Snape, Voldemort, McGonagall, Dumbledore, Hermoine, Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy.  I just love how they turned out so they are now apart of the Knottingwood family

Raggedy Ann and Andy also stopped by. 

I have quite a few project ideas on the table and in my head.  Each weekend I've been taking time to create new items to keep the shop fresh.  M-F is dedicated to custom orders.  I like the new work schedule as it gives me a chance to get creative and keep me out of a rut.

The husband and I are enjoying a nice holiday weekend hope you are too!  Oh and I made my first loaf of bread in the bread maker this week.  Came out fab!  I'll share some soon!

Re-Branding

It could be suicide but I've changed my business name from The Pretty Pixie to Knottingwood.  I wanted something that represented what I do.  The Pretty Pixie just wasn't me.  I chose Knottingwood because it reminds me of imagination and creativity.  A magical place where any dream you have can come to life.  It's a perfect fit.  My goal is bring your imagination to life, from whimsical play sets to fairytale wedding cake toppers.   Now my little cottage business feels right.

With the new name comes a new shop logo..........

I have a ton of new product ideas I will begin rolling out in time for quick delivery for the holidays.  My latest is Eleanor's play house  a 6 piece play set complete with trees!

Knottingwood is now on twitter too!  Follow us and be the first to learn about new products, secret sales and follower only discounts.  On the sidebar of the blog you will see a tweet button, spread the word!

That's pretty much it on my side of the world.  I'm of to order all new promotional products and clean my kitchen....Ugh...

Ummm.... Who are you again?

Wow ok where have I been and were did the summer go.  I can't believe Fall is here (love it though) and it's October 1st.

I've been busy painting wedding orders trying to get ahead of myself.  I'm starting to see the light!  I have a goal to have all orders done by the 15th of Nov(Dec 1st the latest)  I plan on taking December off to enjoy the Holidays with family and friends.  The shop will remain open but only be stocked with ready to ship items.  Custom orders for wedding cake toppers or anything else will resume Jan 1, 2012.    Also take note that the last day for Holiday orders to be received by Dec 25th is Nov 15th.

In my whirl wind of wedding orders I have found time to paint some new holiday items.  I'm also starting to think beyond wedding cake toppers and expand into some wedding decor/favors.  Lots of new ideas for 2012.

I also will have a HUGE announcement about my toppers coming soon.  Detail are pretty much final but I don't want to spill the beans until its complete.  So exciting!

I hope everyone had a fun summer.  I promise to blog more frequently now that wedding season is starting to clam down.  I have a lot of plans for this blog so stick with me if you can.

It's late so I'm off to bed.  I'll leave you with some of the new holiday items in the shop.  Most are ready to ship to grab they while you can!

XOXO,
