Queen Street Shines

Moments like this warm our Sis Boom heart…

We were notified, by our dear friend Kate Spain, about this absolutely darling, sweet, precious, beautiful window display in Cleveland Ohio, which features Queen Street…. Super excited, we click on the link and then.. immediately we feel the joy.

The first thing we see is not so much the fabric, but the love, the time, the sweetness, and the beauty of the display…. and we love it so, so much… not just because Queen Street is front and center… loud and proud, but mostly because of the deep connection that you, our lovelies, experience with Jennifer’s Designs. (Hi, it’s Madeline, by the way 🙂 )

I know just how it feels to fall in love with Jennifer’s designs, which is why I am writing this post. Jennifer would never toot her horn like this.. so allow me. Every time Jennifer’s new lines arrive…  I sit there and literally have to lift my jaw off the floor…. I have a moment of enjoying the sheer beauty, color, and vibe of what she created… then I fall off my seat, scream out loud something like, “OH EM GEE, JEN!!! IT’s UN-REAALL!”.. and then I fall in love with each and every design and color way. It’s impossible not to.

So, with all of that having been said.. we want to take a moment and thank, with all of our heart, JEllen’s House of Fabric for the touching gesture, the beautiful display, and for spreading the word about Sis Boom and Queen Street.  Jennifer is SO thrilled to have brought some “boldness and brightness” to your wintry Cleveland!

Thank YOU! What a beautiful shop and what a beautiful display!

And The Winner is….

Thank you to each and every one of our out of towners for being a part of our Show, even though you were many miles away! Our “Something Fun” Raffle winner is Joan of Wishes, True and Kind!!! Thanks for your participation and for your warm, loving comments. You make our world go round! xo

The Happy Place

You fill me up! All of you!!  It’s tremendous the comments you make , the happiness you find here,  the Sis Boom love you give.  You come before the doors open and at the last 10 minutes of the show and I love you all for your passion of the handmade.  We don’t sell stuff here.  We really don’t.  Folks come get inspired by something that moves them, snap pics of their daughters in a vintage hat collection, unfurl the fabrics and fantasize, we just are the platform for folks to fulfill their dreams.  They bounce ideas off of us and get us going fueling the place with a bounty of creativity.  Magic happens here, we are all children in a playpen of nostalgia.  I love you all for just showing up.  Baby it was cold outside.  Some of you have been coming for 12 years and never miss a Sis Boom event and some of you are new to what goes on here and everyone has a special place in my heart.  But I’m afraid it’s the little ones that come looking for George and jump right into the special treasure box that grab hold of the Sis Boom bounty and cause me to sigh.  I will never get enough of them.  I guess because they get to that place,  that happy place where they don’t know the travails Santa goes through at this time of year.  The hustle bustle , the present wars that take up too much space in our heads.  No they see glitter and baubles and and ribbon streamers.  It’s the noise that muffles the Holiday music that makes my heart sing.  I hope I’ve said it all, I hope your creative juices have been set on fire.  I’ll forget your name you can be certain of that but I’ll never ever forget the way you make me feel……..all my love, Jennifer

Last Day of the Big Sale!

Heyyy Friends!!

Thanks so much for all of your awesome comments! You rock!

It’s the last day of the Sis Boom Sale and Georgie has developed quite a special routine… he sits in his cozy, white chair among a jungle of Sis Boom pillows, bags, and other happy goodies… he peeks out the window, which gives him the perfect angle to see down the driveway and spot visitors.

Each and every visitor that walks up the driveway, Georgie goes to greet. He leads them into the house (because if it weren’t for George, they may not know where to go), and he brings them to his Momma. Gotta love it! Keep commenting on our fun Raffle post.. I’ll announce the winner tonight! xo

Hmmmmm... when will our next guest arrive?!

someone's here! someone's here! I gotta go get them!

What Sis Boom World looks like…

Hi everyone! The Sis Boom house is full of vibrant, excited, lovely, guests, and for those of you who couldn’t make it to our Big Sale we wanted to give you a sneak peak!

We wish we could have a Big Sis Boom Sale in each and every one of your home states so you could all join us… maybe some day…. but until then, I ran around snapping shots of the beautiful decor Jennifer created, the awesome fabrics being put to use, the lovely women here helping us out today (our dear Nancy Geaney being one of them! How lucky are we!), and well, the world of Sis Boom so you could get a good taste!

Jennifer is glowing [with glitter] and happiness and is so grateful to have such a fun experience. She sends huge hugs to you all.

Jen screaming, "No paparazzi, Please!!!!"

When Molly looked at our blog this morning with her Mommy she whispered, "Pretty Things!".. She also came here looking for George! We <3 Molly!

Don’t forget to enter our awesome raffle!!!!

Lots of love xo

Personalized buttons!!

Leave it to the uber talented and creative Melissa P. of A Hundred Billion Stars to design buttons in the same color scheme as our blues in Queen Street!!!

Frustrated with the lack of cool, funky, matchy buttons on the market, Melissa took it upon herself to make….yes, make, her own polymer buttons! She explains her cool little tricks to achieve the perfect button in this post, so go check it out!

In another post, Melissa makes adorable ornaments, which double as gift toppers. She stacks 3 yo yo’s (of varying size) and tops it all off with a bell and a custom button. How cute!
