doing it myself: arrows, flowers & fire extinguisher[?]

Arrows: I needed things to clearly direct my clients to the cash register & "coffee embellishing" station...so with help from my sister's Cricut machine, some fancy scrapbooking paper, cardboard & garden twine, I made these two lil' arrows. Not too shabby, eh?

Flowers: I used to have a clock hanging over the door to the patio, but after moving it to the front of the store, the back looked sad & empty. I decided that a little hanging "patio" or "jardín" sign was a necessity.

I found this tutorial by searching "wire and yarn sign" on Google.

Twisting the wire was actually way more of a hassle then I thought it was gonna be...

but it was all worth it in the end & I'm loving my new artsy sign!

I can't decide if it needs more flowers or if less truely is more.

What do you think?

Fire Extinquisher: We needed one. We bought one. We hung it up.

Now it's just...there.

I'm thinking about playing around a little so it becomes a little piece of quirky art instead of strictly serious...any ideas?

I have some of my own...but want to know what you guys would think is appropriate.

I have to have a sign saying "HERE'S THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!!"

(basically.)

So I could either make my own...or hang up the one provided...or hang up the normal one but dazzle it up a little?

Ryan & Katy's Wedding

Remember this?

November 2009...making this patio into something beautiful was a long way away.

This isn't even the worst picture we have...it's just the only one I can find. :]

When I first saw the building, Café Sed is a young idea & I was dizzy from all the work that had to be done before it became anything presentable.

November 2010...I had just opened the shop. The year had passed and I learned many many lessons about patience and the things that really mattered.

Even though the grass still hadn't really grown and flowers were almost nonexistent, my brother & his fiancé loved it when they came to visit.

So much so, that they decided to have their February "destination wedding" here!

February 5th was their special day & the patio has never looked better.

Many of the details were handmade by my new sister-in-law, Katy & her maid of honor, Tara.

Pictures were done by Katy's cousin, Kristi of Imagine Artists.

I cannot wait to see the rest of the ceremony & reception pictures!

xo, Katie May.

3 fluffy friends.

Woodland friend #3 ended up being a deer.

I'm considering doing a bunch of baby creatures...raccoons, foxes...that sort of thing.

But for now...this will just have to do.

Now I'm getting off the computer to straighten Señorita Squirrel.

Looks like she's a little crooked.
