emery on Etsy...this week!

That is right..emery is opening on Etsy.com...this week! As true designers we promised late April, and it will probably be no sooner than April 30th. BUT, here are some previews of our items we are going to list for our first round of our shop. We have lots of baby items: onesies, diaper covers, burp cloths, hooded towels, and baby blankets. Some signature emery items like our custom monograms, fabric magnets, thumbtacks, and earrings, and cowl neck scarves. One of our newest and most popular items will be listed as well: our dishtowels! We thought this would be a good start but of course we are still working on many items to come.

Don't forget if you are in the Lakes area to stop by our shop at the Art Center, and we of course are still doing many custom orders. Right now we are finishing up Amanda's clutches for her bridesmaids, a stylish new apron for Stacy, baby slings for Melissa and redecorating our Aunt Janice's basement! Emery has been busy and now we want to breathe a little and enjoy the arrival of Baby Donnenwerth..who will be here in May. We'll keep you posted on the shop opening..get that money ready! Love, Em and Meg

We have a winner!

Congratulations to Lenae Rubis! She chose two great items from Adornments as her prize, so let us know which one is going to be THE one you take home from the contest. Even though we drew the winner fair and square we loved Lenae's enthusiasm for all things emery! We want to thank everyone who participated, it was awesome to see the great responses and get some feedback on our work!

Next week, is THE big week you all have been waiting for..emery will be open for business officially. More details to come.

Emery Contest #2=FREE Adornments

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and we all know we have been invited to several bridal showers ….need a great gift? OR Just need something for yourself to wear to one of the showers?!

Well, Meg and I are people-pleasers and our first contest went over so well we decided to have another one! This time we have teamed up with one of our favorite jewelry designers, Wendi Cupp of Adornments. Above is a photo of our friend Kelsey, who owns an Adornments necklace! We have been trading projects with Wendi to help each other out recently. For example, Emery designed her business card and logo (see below).

HERE ARE THE CONTEST RULES:

1. To enter you must post a comment on our blog or our facebook fan page.
2. Go to Wendi’s site here and pick out what piece of jewelry you would want to have if you are picked as the winner.
3. Post your comment and tell us two things: what piece of jewelry you love from Adornments and also what you love about emery or what you want to see from us in our upcoming etsy site.
4. All comments and posts need to be submitted by Thursday, April 15 and we’ll pick a winner and announce on April 18. The lucky winner will receive their jewelry of choice!

Emery picked a couple of their faves..now you pick yours!

Babies on the Brain

So we had a very busy week and some of you might have noticed this blog post is late. Did some of you wonder what happened when Monday morning you didn't have a lovely emery email? Well, tough. We have been busy but we didn't forget- and if you DID notice then we really do love you :)

This past weekend was Megan's baby shower hosted by myself and her sister in law, Lisa. I thought I would remind everyone, and for those that don't know, that I am a graphic designer and LOVE to do invites for these occasions. Here is the invite I did for Meg's shower. She is torturing me by not finding out what she is having, so I went with the theme of her nursery (giraffes and gender neutral colors!)

Also, we wanted to welcome Carly and Caylin Kisker to the world this week. We know they are going to be huge emery fans and can't wait to meet them! Congrats Hills!
