grand opening: Royal Buffet

January 17, 2008 | Filed Under ordinary 

so a while back, inspired by annie’s collage christmas ornaments, we two decided to start our own shop, partly to make some dollars to pay for supplies and other crafting needs (like extra coffee in the grocery budget so that we can stay awake late and wake up early without too much grumpiness), but also to keep our hands and minds busy at night and away from the temptation of the television (at least for me: annie only gets one channel, after all). so we started cranking out ideas and clipping and using Yes! paste (another thing to mourn: years of not knowing about Yes! paste!) and opened our own shop on etsy, just last night, while it was snowing, while the man across the street looked at the clock and said, “it’s 12:30, i think i’ll build a snowman,” and followed through (which was endearing and fun to watch from behind the dining room curtains).

and so, we give you Royal Buffet.  And valentines, more valentines, and scratch books for now, other things cooking, or clipping, what have you. if you have a few dollars to spend, it would be nice to send our creations to those we know and love (in reality and virtually), and you’ll feel good when you buy handmade and support the work of people who like to make stuff and sometimes actually make stuff that’s really neato-o.

you can (or will) also find us on our own site (not the chinese restaurant, mind you, although if it were in greenville we’d probably be there, too) where we hope to share some of our ideas, works-in-progress, and other creating goodness.

and, special thanks to our husbands, who did all of the things we couldn’t figure out how to do in computer and camera land and have smiled kindly at us while we rhapsodized like girls, high pitches to the voice and all.
