Hi there! Welcome to the first post of The Original Notions Company!
We're a company straight out from Springfield, Ohio (home of the heartland, dontcha know) working on creating and designing "gloriously fun things" for your home! We love and adore Renaissance, Gothic and Turn-of-the-Century styles, anything French, especially the calligraphy, and we're complete Anglophiles over here. No matter how many times we've seen it, any time Pride and Prejudice or even My Fair Lady comes on the television and all sense of time and space are quickly cast aside to watch people with a beautiful British Accent and gorgeous, I mean gorgeous costumes.
Also have to throw in the Roarin' 20's, Hippies (because we were born in the wrong decade) and Bohemian Loves.
I, Mellissa, work on this company with my Momma, Ms. Genny. We love to craft and craft together. It's like a family thing!
As my mom and I were perusing the crafts store, looking for deals, waiting for projects to sort of shout at us, Mom came up with an interesting idea. People want and need an escape. A little glimmer of fantasy. And whether that be fairy tales, vampires or zombies, you should have a piece of that escape. So, with that in mind we set out for some cool escapee nesting boxes. They're like hat boxes but for all different types of storage!
The first set shall be an experiment for Vampires!
Cute, right??
Just as a side note, even though we use glitter on our boxes--there will be no inspiration of, or hailing to any vampire that "sparkles". We're old school here. **And by old school, I mean we use 200 year old poetry on our stuff and dream of Gary Oldman with those fantastic blue smoked glasses he wore, just sayin'.** -M
