Trendy Peas is one
Posted by Patchi | Filed under UPDATES
When we launched TrendyPeas.com back in February of 2009, I wasn’t sure what to expect of the year 2009. But thanks Raquel, my dear sister, and the other half of Trendy Peas; Alex, my supportive and optimistic husband; my two loving and inspirational kids; Mark Staples, from Staples Fine Art; a little web tool called Etsy; and the ladies from the post office who always make the trips to the post office more enjoyable, 2009 turned out full of good surprises.
One year has passed now. And we just can’t believe. We have many, many more ideas for 2010. And we hope it will be another year full of good surprises.
Next in our agenda… wall decals. Stay tuned for details.

Beautiful Nursery
Posted by Patchi | Filed under BABY, INSPIRATION
I have mentioned the very cute blog that I read from interior designer Erika from Urban Grace interiors. She is always very personal on her blog and she features amazing pictures of some beautiful rooms. After Erika got pregnant, she started designing her baby’s nursery. And you know, because she is an interior designer, I was very excited to follow her project. She has been revealing bits and pieces of her baby’s nurseries in little chapters on her blog. From the fabric of the bedding, to the curtain details, and the beautiful chandelier. She is finally done with the nursery and she reveals it to her readers on her blog. I have to say that I love the details. Oh the details… For more photos of the nursery visit her blog here. You can get ideas and learn about the paint color of the crib or the decoupaged plates from etsy. It is just lovely.

Birds on a tree
Posted by Patchi | Filed under NEW DESIGNS
I got a request for a custom design that I absolutely loved it. My customer Laura, wanted a canvas that featured a combination of the stacked birds design, with the love birds and the apple tree prints. The result is what I call birds on a tree. The charming new design of the Trendy Peas’ collection. Thanks Laura!

I can not express how happy and excited I am to be offering color envelopes and new designs for our stationery line. The new envelopes come in five delicious colors: green, lake, aqua, papaya, and strawberry. The new designs are whimsical and yet modern and elegant. We also bumped up the size of the cards to 5×7 inches. Bigger, bolder and more colorful. Check it out here.

2010 Calendar
Posted by Patchi | Filed under FRESH FINDS
Unfortunately, I was not able to design 2010 calendars this year. There is so much going on right now that my calendar ideas will have to hold off a little… So, I decided to visit Etsy to search for some kid friendly 2010 calendar. And this one from English Muffin is my favorite find. I love the illustrations. Very cute and modern looking. Visit English Muffin’s Etsy store for details. These are selling for $18.
