new wall letter fonts and sizes!

at last i've found a way to offer a wide variety of fonts for my wall letters! while i love the classic block letters, it's always fun to expand

here are some of my first 'experiments' with new fonts.


this large letter "A" was done in a Lucida font and painted to match little "A's" nursery. it is 24" in height (the standard height is 9") so it's a large, bold, yet classy accent piece that rests on a shelf in A's room. i love A's mom's sense of style and admire her eye for decorating so i love this idea!

(pricing on enlarged letters do vary as they cost more to make).
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

i was so happy to reconnect with an old college friend and sorority sister (ah, the powers of facebook) and honored when she asked me to put together some letters for her daughter's room. she chose "Vingy" font and her colors were light and dark pinks and navy blues. when i was finished with these i attached navy blue ribbons to allow them to hang on little sophia's walls.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

and these letters were so fun to do - plus it was nice to do something "boy" after all these girly girl orders! Ty's mom sent me photos of his construction bedding so i created his letters to accent his bedding and room colors.

(construction signs are hand-painted.)

new fonts

playing around with some new fonts for the hair bow holders. they are a very popular item these days! :)




girly girl

all about the girls these days! a few more orders for hairband boxes to help keep all those hairbands from running away, falling behind the dresser, etc.

this set was made for a set of twins!



and this one was designed to match the growth chart and hair bow holder that already adorn sweet "A's" bedroom! love the pinks and browns together!

**new item alert!**

and i'm happy to announce that TyBro Treasures is adding another new item! i haven't even posted it to the official website yet! now available: personalized hair band boxes in a variety of shapes and sizes (mini round, square, mini square, flower, star, and hexagon).

here are the latest:






half-sized growth chart

this client requested a growth chart but had a very specific place where it would fit on the wall in her son's room. originally she had a cloth growth chart hanging there and "someone" took a sharpie marker to it to measure his own height! looking for a more durable replacement, she came to me! this chart is still 48" in height but only 7.5" across. other TyBro growth charts are 12" across. this "half-sized" chart is now available upon request.



more hair bow holders!

shh- this one is a gift for a very special (almost) 2 year old...say it ain't so! i hope she likes it - along with the very cool handmade/handstitched personalize hair clip compliments of my friend, shannon with peanut crafts!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i was happy to make this one for a good friend that i haven't seen in WAY too long. in fact, the last time i saw sweet ryleigh she was just a few weeks old! we can't wait to catch up with these old friends this fall - and see ryleigh's hair bow holder on her wall!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


and this request was for something a little different. this fun mom needed an organization solution not only for hair bows but for all of her daughter's itty-bitty hairbands that end up all over the place. oh yeah, and something for the headbands, too...

so we came up with a solution - i attached two mini boxes to the hair bow holder and - voila! - two places to help catch all those wandering hairbands. not shown in this picture are the ribbons for the hair bows and the double hook that we placed in between the two boxes to help gather up the headbands. phew! but what a great idea!



(note: add-ons to the hair bow holders are an additional cost)

gifts for graduating seniors

i'm always up for a new "idea" or challenge! this one came from a neighbor who cut a news article out for one of her daughter's friends. she wanted to do something special with the article - which is where i came in! the article itself speaks volumes about this graduating senior as she prepares to go to Northeastern University so my task was easy. congratulations, alexis!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the request for this frame was for another graduating senior. i love this quote - so appropriate for anyone college-bound and/or taking the next "step" in life.

I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles,
To the highest of your hopes,
To the windows of your opportunities,
And to the most special places your heart has ever known.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

made for another graduating senior!

i was particularly fired up to make the frame below - designed to be another gift for a graduating senior on her way to FIU to play softball!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

this request was not for a graduating senior but a "very girly" 2 year old! hope this is girly enough for her!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and this one is for a brand new baby girl, kylee. welcome to the world, sassy little one!
