Custom Created

Can flowers for your garden. Upcycled with style.

Lots of pretty flowers!

I have been so busy with my Etsy store www.customcreated.etsy.com and with my space at the brick and mortar store that I have neglected to add photos to my blog. So here are a few items that I have custom created this year. Can flowers are fun to make and help keep cans out of land-fills thanks to all my friends who have saved them for me. They are as individual as the person who orders them.

Custom Created

Welcome to my blog. My business is named Custom Created because I would love the opportunity to make something Custom Created just for you. I have been making Custom Created items for people for almost 20 years. It started with floral arranging and has progressed into so many more things in fun, fabulous and sometimes funky colors and designs. I make Floral arrangements, Wreaths of all kinds (baby, floral, theme, seasonal, Christmas, western...), name plaques, Christmas Trees, Christmas ornaments, and more. Please view my pictures for some of the items I have Custom Created for others, as well as pre-made pieces. I love being creative and this business is several years in the making. Get your Christmas list together and visit my store at http://www.customcreated.etsy.com/ for great ideas for the holidays. You can also see my pre-made designs at Ms. Ruth's Diner in Verona and Ms. Ruth's Express in Tupelo. Go in for a great lunch and do some shopping while you are there.

Here are some of the things I make:
Name Plaques. Perfect for children's rooms, baby gifts, offices, businesses, etc. Let me know the colors (wall color, bed linen colors, favorite colors, etc.), themes, and/or style and let me create something special for you or someone you love. Each piece is hancrafted using a wood plaque, colorful paper and decoupage material.
Wreaths. Not just for doors anymore. Do you have certain colors in mind and just can't find the item you are looking for? Let me create a wreath for you. As you can see I do many different syles and designs as well as price ranges. Western, Baby, Floral, Simple, Elegant, Seasonal and of course Christmas Wreaths.
Fully Decorated, Pre-lit Petite ChristmasTrees. Ideal for smaller rooms in your house, apartments, dorm rooms, kid’s rooms, offices, grandparent’s homes, guys or gals who don’t want to take the time to decorate a tree, or buy 2 and place them on either side of your fireplace. Can be set on the floor, a table or hung up…the places are endless! Many different syles and colors to choose from.
Christmas Ornaments. Paper, wood, paint, ceramic, glass, felt, letters, glitter...many different designs and prices. Check them out! Great for gift exchanges, tags for packages, or even place settings at Holiday meals.
Floral Arrangements. Many styles and colors for all seasons.
Can Flowers. The new HOT item around here.

If you want to order something just let me know. Visit me on etsy and "convo" me! http://www.customcreated.etsy.com/ or you can find me on facebook (custom created)

Romantic Retreat Wreath

Custom Created for Ashley (Thank you so very much Ashley!)

Ashley was creating a romantic retreat and her decor was black and white damask, black furniture and silver and red accents. This is the largest piece I have made to date. It is almost 3 ft around. I Custom Created the picture frame in the middle also by painting it to look like brushed nickle. Then filled the frame with a damask paper and custom cut "Love" in red. The wreath is filled with lux deep red roses, fabulous silver and gray ribbons and many glitzy and shimmery items. She called it a piece of art. :) Made my heart warm. Thanks again!

Lime, Yellow and Aqua Front Door Wreath

Custom Created for Casey (Thank you Casey!).
I was told the colors were lime green, yellow and aqua blue. It turned out great!

Baby Wreaths for Hospital Doors and More

Do you know someone having a baby soon? Well let me make a Custom Created Baby Wreath for you to give them to hang on their hospital door. Then once they leave the hospital they can hang it on their front door to let the neighbors know the baby has arrived. After that, it would be cute hung in the nursery.

These are just four examples of my work. I can make them cute, simply elegant, trendy or in colors to match the nursery decor. I also can attach a longer steamer with the baby's name on it. Let me know what you or the mother-to-be is interested in and let me make a Custom Created Baby Wreath just for you. They are $40 dollars and you can order them here if you are an Etsy member.

Have fun shopping around on Etsy (rhymes with Betsy). There are almost 200,000 stores now from Creators, Artisans, Designers, and even Cooks from all over the world. The man who began Etsy did so because he made furniture and wanted to sell it to people other than his near-by family and friends. That was only 5 years ago and it is growing more and more everyday.

I am very excited to be member of the Etsy community. And I am also thrilled to give you an opportunity to buy some the many different things I create. This has been a business idea several years in the making and I appreciate your support.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and keep me in mind for baby gifts - wreaths and plaques! And many other gift ideas.

Western wreaths with rope

Here are a couple more western designs. Each wreath is hand wrapped with jute rope which takes me about 4 hours to do but the result is soooo cool! The one with the horse is a fav of mine and the Howdy Ya'll sign was hand-painted by me also. But it is SOLD! (Thank you!)

The one with the Cowboy would make a great gift for that Cowboy in your life to hang in his "man cave" or office or on his front door. It is on an 18" form.

Welcome Friends in Blue

This one was bought by Julie and Virgil for his Mother for Mother's day (Thank you both!). My floral wreaths make great Mother's day gifts. Contact me for more info, visit my store, or go by to eat at Ms. Ruth's to see what I have been making for the season. Let me make a Custom Created Design just for you or the one's you love.

Tuscan Peace

This is a huge 30" around wreath full of gemstone colored roses and hydrangeas and grapes and pears. The peace sign was hand-colored a deep rose metallic to match. I wish my door was big enough to display this one because it is beautiful. It would look great on a big formal door or over a fireplace. You can currently find it at my store.

Pink, Purple and Yellow Zinnas

I saw these colors in some plants at my Mother-in-Law's house and made this fun wreath for her for Mother's Day. Aren't these colors Great! She loved it and is very supportive of my new business. Thank you so much Shelby! I Love you!

Western Designs

These two designs sold within moments of display. As a matter of fact the one with the cross was bought as I got it out of the car at Ms. Ruth's Diner in Verona (thank you Ms. Jeanette) and the "Horse Lovers are Stable People was bought at Ms. Ruth's Express in Tupelo (thank you Ashley). I have my pre-made items on display at both locations. Go by either one for a great lunch and a little shopping. Fall and Christmas items will be displayed there too!!

Western Welcome Wreaths

Do you like Western designs but can't find what you are looking for? Then look no further. Let me make a Custom Created Western wreath for you. I have lots of ideas as you can see from my designs and these two are still currently for sale for $45 dollars (as of 10.4.10). Makes a great gift!
