New Artist: Craig McDonald!
Saturday, October 31st, 2009Craig McDonald is a self-taught artist, born and raised in Nashville. He works mainly in steel and stainless steel, often incorporating other materials such as marble, wood, stone, and fabrics into his work. Much of his art is contemporary or modern in design and ranges along the scope of functional to purely sculptural. And without further ado, here’s a sample of his work that’s available at Adornments! Stop by and check them out!!

Melt - steel 29x30x20"
This piece is very fun- can be placed on a table or on the floor or can even be mounted on the wall!

Warp - steel 14x9x12- Sorry! Can't have this one! It has already sold!
Fun from every angle, this sculpture adds a special touch to any room- looks gorgeous by a fireplace!

Offset Table - steel/marble/glass 26x32x48"
Very modern, this table could set the tone for a whole room! Sturdy and beautiful, this piece is sure to impress.

Zig Zag Wine Holder - steel 24x18x5"
A great gift, this wine holder will give you a place to store your featured wines with properly moistened corks without having to hide them away in a wine cellar!
Made from steel, this wine holder will give you a way to store and display that is sturdy as well as elegant.

Exploded Triangle - steel 14x6.5x8"
Unusual, edgy and fun- this sculpture is perfectly suited to add interest to tight spaces either at home or the office!

Opposition Vase - steel 10.5x8x2.5"
Not your average vase, this sleek and modern design can hold some serious flowers or stand on its own!
All these and more are now available at Adornments! Come get your contemporary and modern furniture, steel sculpture, and home items in time for Christmas!

Adornments' Magnificent Sign!
As the pictures show- this party was fantastic! The new, improved, more centralized location for Adornments in the Factory At Franklin is gorgeous! The art was beautiful, the jewelry dazzling, the invitations magnificent and the clothing stunning. Add to that a party atmosphere created by Margaret Tolbert of “Details by Margaret” event planning, delectable foods by “Busy Bees” catering, to-die-for chocolates from Schakolad in Cool Springs, fun games and even better prizes and you get a night that was an unabashed success!

NCS Renaissance Fair!
Thursday, May 7th, 2009A while back we were invited to participate in a Ren. Fair at the Nashville Christian School, held in conjunction with their school play, “Much Ado About Nothing.” This is the first year that the school put together such a to-do, and it sounds like it’s likely to become a yearly event. We were eager to join- mostly because we heard there would be turkey legs!!
And there were..

Mmm... Turkey leg! Who wouldn't go to a Ren Fair for that!!
Take a look at our amazing sign!
That’s right, we’re wearing costumes! Well…pseudo-costumes (they had wrist watches back then, right?)…

Adornments Sign! yes, we used blue tape to hang it..
We were asked to have a semi-working booth so that it would be somewhat educational as well. So Lucinda brought her loom and demonstrated weaving (of course…Laura and I were the mules for this venture…)

Lucinda weaving!
While Laura was hard at work on some new jewelry!

Look at all that bling!
Of course, the biggest problem of the day was the weather… It was rather windy which caused all of our pretties to keep being blown over. So I spent my time (when not eating funnel cakes and roasted corn!) putting every thing back upright.

It's perfect!
At least, until the rain called an end to the day. In all though, many funnel cakes were had and oohs and aahs abounded! Thanks to NCS for having us!!
And a good time was had by all!
Friday, May 1st, 2009The Weddings by Adornments Open House:
Here are the pics from the Adornments Open House! We had a blast! Enjoy!
We got to keep the leftover truffles- oh so tasty- oh so dangerous!

The Spectacular Grays! (Not a great pic, sorry. One workshop with the Grays has not taught me all of their secrets...yet!)

Our two lovely models: Rhea and Alice. Thanks Ladies!
Thanks to all of our wonderful participants and fabulous vendors! You are all amazing!
