Happy Friday, everyone! I'd like to kick off this weekend by introducing
you all to the revamped Haute Whimsy Etsy shop, which now features crystal-laced
old Hollywood prints.
I've been curating these images for years and have spent hours upon hours
digitally restoring photos, many of which date all the way back to the 1920s.
After the restoration, I embellish the prints with crystals and other accents to
add hints of glimmer and highlights to jewels. It's been a meticulous process,
but I'm beyond pleased with the final product. This hobby has turned into a true
passion, and I'm excited to officially launch the Old Hollywood section of the
shop today!
6 prints have already sold and have received rave reviews from the
customers, my favorite being:
"Hi Jen,
Just wanted to let you know I received my Marilyn print which was a gift for my best friend's 30th birthday. She LOVED it! Made her cry - was the PERFECT gift for her. Thank you so much!

That little note melted me on the spot :)

I hope you enjoy the prints that are in the shop right now. I have about 5
times that amount in my studio right now which still need to be photographed and
listed.

I totally love them all! Let me know if you ever do any with Barbara Stanwyck, Judy Garland, Claudette Colbert or Lana Turner (the first two especially hehe). Keep up the amazing work, my oh so talented friend!! =o)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amber! I actually have a few Judy Garlands, one of which is just about to go up in the shop today. Thank you so much for stopping by :)

ReplyDeleteEliza, the Merlot with Marilyn seems to be a fan favorite so far! And I actually have a Gone with the Wind print that I need to take product photos of still. It will be in the shop soon :)
