Want to Order Some Eggs?

We are still taking orders for ceramic Easter Eggs!  Please send orders to yellowcatstudio@hotmail.com!
Because of the massive requests we've had for eggs in the last couple days, we've decided to create a new system for ordering.  You can order in THREE ways!

Please send your orders to yellowcatstudio@hotmail.com.

1) Customize Your Eggs- you can choose both the pattern and color of each eggs.  You can also personalize them with names. You can order as many, or as few, as you would like!
Here are the patterns we have:
 (From Left to Right) Scattered Daisies, Central Flower, Scattered Tulips

(From Left to Right) Vines, Tulip Lines, Dots

Along with six designs, we also have seven (7) colors to choose from!  The colors shown above: purple, orange, blue, yellow, teal, pink.  We also have a light green, which is shown the sets below.

Here's how an order would look:

Hello, I would like 6 eggs:

1 pink dots
1 teal tulip lines
1 yellow vines
1 blue scattered tulips
1 orange central flower
1 purple scattered daisies

With custom orders, you can also personalize them with names.  Here's how an order would look:


Hello, I would like 6 eggs with the names:
Dave - green
Pat - purple
Ben - orange
Nicole - pink
Bill - blue
Charlie - yellow

Personalized eggs, we will add small decorations to make it look festive and pretty!

You can order a combination of names and patterns, just please be specific about your wants!  Be sure to include the color to each egg as well!

2) Order a Set - Here are a few sets we have done in the past.  If you want a more simple way of ordering, just choose 1 or more of the sets below.  All sets consist of six (6) eggs;  One of each color (expect for teal and green, there will be one or the other) and one of each pattern.

Here are the sets to order from:
SET 4 (below)
 SET 5 (below)
 SET 6 (below)
 SET 7 (below)
 SET 8 (below)
 SET 9 (below)

Here's how an order would look:


Hello,
I would like to order set 5 and set 8.

3) Variety Set - Here's the easiest way to order!  Let us do the work of picking  the eggs for you!  We will include one of each color and one of each pattern.  Of course, since we have teal and green, we usually only put one in a set.  Please specify if you would prefer one or the other. Then wait for your surprise!

Here's how an order would look:

Hello,
I would like a variety of 2 dozen eggs!

Dresses I wish I had

Dresses I wish I had :)

I love these dresses!  Spring time always makes me want to show some leg and prance around in a little dress! 

P.S.  I received my make-up from E.L.F (as seen here), and I LOVE most of it.  The only product I have been disappointed in was the waterproof pencil eyeliner.  The tip was very hard and it was not easy to apply.
My favorite product so far is the bronzer.  I have a very light skin tone, so it's hard to find a bronzer that looks natural.  The healthy glow bronzer in 'Luminance' is perfect.  It gives me just the right amount color!

A Few Of My Favorite Things...

 These two paint-by-numbers are from my grandmother's house.  I found them in a closet and loved the colors!  Paint-by-Numbers are so charming!
I found these three matching jars at a thrift store for five bucks!  I loved them right away, but didn't know if I had the five bucks to spare (poor college student, here!).  So the lovely gentleman that was with me bought them for me!  (Thank you, by the way!) 

Happy Wednesday!

*Breakfast*

I have always been a big fan of breakfast foods and I love to try new recipes.  Breakfast, for me, is one of those things that are just simple and beautiful.  Breakfast can be simple or complicated....greasy or healthy....big or small.....depending on the day. 
Today I had a half pita filled with scrambled eggs, strawberries, and coffee with cream.  Yum :)
What is your favorite breakfast food?

Have a beautiful day!

Trying a New Brand


I am very excited to receive my box of new make-up!  A friend of mine recommended that I try E.L.F Cosmetics, so I thought it was time to update my make-up bag.  All the products are super affordable (Great for college students.)  I'm curious to see if they are quality products, or if they are more for play :)

Thrift Store Finds







I love thrift store shopping.  I can't seem to leave without bringing something home.  I have a weakness for embroidery hoops!  Also, I can't wait to use those rose bowls in our studio as storage...I LOVE them. As soon as I saw them, I said "I have to have those,"...and luckily, they were a great price! 

Happy Thrifting!

Happy April!

image from weheartit.com
I'm so glad that it's April!  April means that there's a much less chance of it snowing here in South Dakota for the rest of spring!  (Even though we've had snow on Easter in the past.)  April means the last full month of school, as finals being the first week in May.  April means moving out of my apartment and back in with my parents. 

I'm sure this month will fly by, as all the others!

Happy Friday!
