Monday, January 4th, 2010

Welcome to the new face of Adornments Watch!

At Adornments we’re always looking for new ways to improve our customer service. With the new year, we decided to give our blog a make over! So we are dedicating ourselves to providing you, loyal readers, with regular posts on a wide variety of topics. Everything from information about what’s happening in the Nashville art scene, tips on what to look for when purchasing great gem stones, amazing DIY projects, hot fashion trends, to advice from professionals on how to plan your dream wedding!

And we are relying on you to tell us what we’re missing!!

So if there’s something you want to read more about (don’t be shy!), let us know! And as an added incentive – all our readers who visit our new blog and leave a comment will be entered into a drawing for a free giftcard to Starbucks!!

And of course, don’t forget to stop by and visit us at our store, in the Factory at Franklin, near historic downtown Franklin!

Mention our new blog and get 10% off any item in store throughout 2010!

And we're finally open!!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Lest you start to think that we’ve abandoned you all or succumbed to laziness due to our recent lack of postage…let me reassure you that we have not forgotten our loyal blog followers!! We’ve merely been trapped under heavy piles of lumber behind buckets of paint.. But we’re finally free again!!! So we invite you to view our journey from upstairs at the Factory at Franklin to our shiny, new location just off the commons area- DOWNSTAIRS (yes, still at the Factory)!!

So, just in case you for some unknown reason were unable to visit us previously, this is what the shop used to look like..

Our old store upstairs at the Factory at Franklin

And this is what the new space looked like before its magical transformation into Adornments-land.

Of course, this just wouldn’t do! It all had to go!

Women at Work!

Nothing says construction like a girl posing with a ladder in front of a shop covered in brown paper.

The first thing to go- the black wall!

The painting crew!

Thankfully our families were willing to chip in to help us out!! Thanks everyone!!!

So, finally, after much painting, constructing, organizing, etc… Voila!

Our new gallery!

We are now open for business! Please stop by and visit us at the Factory!

Adornments is moving… downstairs!

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

That’s right- Adornments gallery is moving downstairs in the Factory at Franklin in August- so we should be that much more easy to find! We will be just off the common area next to Constant Craving (yes, we will now smell tasty food all day long… ahhh so good…)!

We're moving!

Look out for updates as we track the process of designing and decorating our new space!

NCS Renaissance Fair!

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

A 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!!
