The Gift of Inspiration

We don't get to choose when we want to be inspired. We may try, but the flow of it all may not be clear. So when inspiration does come it's a gift.
Your mind is instantly hit with a million thoughts.
I don't know about you, but I can't sleep and go crazy thinking.
I endlessly hunt, play, imagine and collect, so I can make sense of my thoughts in order to create.
Finally the color of soft pistache,vert and green tea inspired me.
So now I'm celebrating as I've completely opened my gift!
And my gift was to give Fanciful a "logo"
I fell in love with the color and knew it would stay with me forever. I wanted something that reminded me of Paris, something subtle and classy and something that would complement Fanciful. So this is what I got when I embraced my gift~
I'm so excited to have it done in time for the holidays and to wrap my fanciful creations with my new gifts!! My gifts of beautiful gift wrap, business cards and those extra touches that make it all so much more special. Also, A BIG Thank You to Mandy from A la Parisienne. She helped put everything together on my blog & Etsy and made it perfect!

Noel, I have no words - this new logo (and the photos you showed) are simply stunning! It is such a fresh, yet totally classic and Parisian colour! You truly were inspired - was it the Laduree?

Looks exquisite - perfect for exquisite YOU!

Isn't it such a delight to be inspired to the very core!!! When I saw this, I was almost as happy as you must be. Wonderful fresh choice!

Noel- Your logo is perfect! Pistachio happens to be my favorite ice-cream flavor, so I am somewhat biased. I just started following your blog and must say it is a lovely one.

Noel,

The image of the pistache and gold ceiling is just delicious as is your beautiful new look. My first taste of pistachio was in France, and for that, it's even sweeter.

You are so talented and you have been an inspiration to me since I met you. Thank you for giving me the privilege to help you with your blog and Etsy; it was an absolute delight!
