Wedding Chalkboards "No Easel Required"!

         







I've had many Brides to Be and Wedding Event Planners ask about where to Purchase an Easel or what size Easel would fit this particular Baroque Chalkboard! Now don't get me wrong, I love the way a Grand Menu Board or Seating Chart looks on an Easel....but just wanted to give everyone another options. So I (and my hubby who built the attached stand) came up with a solution....Self Standing Wedding Chalkboards! Best thing is there is no Easel to carry around and the Chalkboard can Stand or Hang Horizontal....both options attached to back. Just think...use it at your Wedding, then turn it horizontal and hang it in your home for years to come! Oh....the Sweet Notes Newlyweds could Leave each other. To purchase any of the above chalkboards and see my other creations, Please visit my shop @ Revivedvintage.etsy.comvedvintage.etsy.com

Papercandee Wedding and Bridal Invitations

How adorable is this invitation to a Bridesmaid Luncheon! Dez, at Papercandee has so many themed invitations, your choices are endless. She not only has many to choose from, but specializes in custom orders.
I've had the privilage of working with Dez and she is so genuine and fun to work with, I can't imagine not knowing this savvy business woman!

   Lacey Damask French/Paris Inspired Bridal Shower or Bridesmaid Luncheon Invitation


Parisian Themed Cupcake Toppers


Dez is a full-time mother, military wife and nurse...but somehow finds the time to create such original and whimsical designs. She dabbled in calligraphy as a teen and later became facinated with beautiful fonts and print. Needless to say, years later with the encouragement of friends and family, Papercandee was created!

One of my favorite Papercandee designs is her Nautical Themed Birthday party....just look what this Dez can do!

The Invitation

Nautical Tags for Candy Bar

Design for the Cookies
Cookies by Allyson Jane/Design by Papercandee

Party Sign

Seriously, is there anything Mrs. Dez can't do...I don't think so!
You have to visit her Blog at Papercandee.com and check out more of her wonderful designs and Etys shop!
If you can dream it, I'm sure she can make it.

Gold Wedding Baroque Chalkboard...Transformed

I had such a great time working with Lisa a few months ago and wanted to show the possibilities of transforming one item into another. I created a Black framed Baroque Dry Erase Board, but Lisa had visions of a Gold Baroque Chalkboard for her Wedding Day.
So what Lisa wants...Lisa Gets!

                                                                   BEFORE

AFTER
Moral to the Story

JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS LISTED ONE WAY, DOES NOT MEAN IT CAN'T BE TRANSFORMED INTO YOUR VISION AT
Love Doing Custom Orders
Thank you Lisa for your Request, It was a Joy!

Colleen's Enchanted Wedding

It all began with a request...Colleen contacted me wanting a beautiful chalkboard for her wedding. I  found this beautiful frame, not listed for sale, still sitting in my workshop. I sent her a picture explaining that I definetly "Have the frame for you!" She agreed, and it was made. I have only found one frame like this since her purchase....oh, how I wish I could find more! Her wedding is filled with Etsy finds, no detail remained untouched! View all pictures of this spectacular wedding at Colleen's blog
