I’ve been trying to keep up with everything but as of last Saturday evening, my faithful iMac has died. After all that we’ve been through the past 6 years… it was time. I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to fix it but in the meantime I’m stuck. So today instead of posting the missing Tanti Baci posts I’ll update you on what’s going on with TPW. After a successful photo shoot, which took place two weeks ago, the images are now ready to post on ETSY. I’m hoping to have the small collection available on ETSY for Sunday but that’s only if I have a computer up and running.

TPW’s website is also coming along. It’s been a very long process but I think you’re going to love it. The new site will allow you to shop our products directly online. Some other things lined up in the coming months include another TPW giveaway. One lucky reader will win a set of TPW products from our 2010 summer collection! This summer we’re also looking to focus on some interesting DIY projects as well as some unique inspirations that will spark the artist in you – helping you set the mood for your dinner parties. And if you haven’t noticed, Wendy the Cat is back! Still furry and lovingly adorable. So make sure to read up on Wendy’s latest adventure!

Hoping you have a somewhat less stressful Thursday. I know I’m keeping my eye on Friday and looking forward to the weekend.

P.S. Don’t forget Mother’s Day is right around the corner!

Behind TPW’s Summer 2010 Photo Shoot

The shoot was a success! We lucked out with the weather. I even managed to get sunburned. Mackenzie’s land was large and her horse was beautiful. We got some nice shots of the products in and out of action. I’m looking forward to final photos taken by the wonderful David Reyes (VNTG Photography).

We laughed a lot and had a simple lunch with some cured meats, cheeses, bread, some spicy chili and lest we forget the delicious Lorina lemonade – mmmmmm!

I thought I’d show you some photos of what we were doing while David R was busy taking photos.

+ Isn’t Mackenzie and her horse beautiful? +

+ Here is David R taking shots of Mackenzie and David M.  We  were all afraid that David M wasn’t going to be able to hang onto to the branch but he managed! +

+ SMILE! I love the mustaches! +

+ Mackenzie’s adorable dog Chucky! A true Wishbone look a like. +

A very warm thank you to David R + Justine + David M + Juliet + Mackenzie + Kendra + Sandra. We had lots of fun!

A Wonderful Saturday!

This Saturday I was granted my wish! The weather was perfect! Sunshine and warm temperatures. After waking up at 6 AM and getting ready we proceeded to pick everyone up. Then of course there was the 1.5 hour drive to Peterborough. We did a lot of trekking on Mackenzie’s land and found some small spots where we proceeded to take some shots. I’ll have a few snippets of photos up for Tuesday’s post to show you what the models and photographer was up to! It was a tiring day but definitely had a lot of fun! Robber was great in letting us borrow the clothes! I can’t wait for the final photos! The website is still being worked on but I hope you had a great weekend and you’re ready for May. It’s only a week away.

As promised, here is a sneak peek at two new products for the Valentine’s Day line up. There are a few others but I have to say that I love how the photos turned out. I can’t wait to unveil the other products at the end of this week. I hope you’re looking forward to the Valentine’s Day products and you come to love it as much as I have.

TPW unveils this year’s Valentine’s Day concept. The small collection of cards and special edition Cream Soda POM Candy are a part of this year’s The Nature of Love concept. Tomorrow’s shoot will definitely be fun and after visitng Putti today I can’t wait to share the simple yet beautiful pieces I selected to showcase as a part of the shoot. It’s going to be a long day but I’m sure it will be equally fulfilling to wrap up the Valentine’s Day shoot!

It’s finally Friday! It’s been a little stressful this week with finalizing the designs for the cards I plan on posting next week. The Valentine’s Day photo shoot is also scheduled for this Sunday with David Reyes from VNTG Photography. Originally we were going to hold the shoot outdoors (in the cold) but because the weather looks horrible, I’ve had to make last minute changes. We’re now holding the shoot indoors. And even though I’ve had to change the overall shoot concept I’ve been able to settle on a new idea for the shoot.

I have another reason to be excited. The Paper Whale will be featuring some Putti products in our Valentine’s Day shoot. I couldn’t be more thrilled. Tomorrow, I will be visiting the antique store in the morning to finalize the products that TPW will borrow from store to use for our Valentine’s Day shoot!
