Meet my very own Mélange Designs stamp!

As I possibly progress towards and entertain the idea of creating a fun little side business (more like a yummy hobby) associated with this blog - hence the name Mélange Designs - I'm trying to get together all of the fun and necessary start-up items/tools to do so.  Blog name & site - check!  Blog itself - check!  Logo - check!  Now, meet my latest addition; my new and very own, custom, hand-carved LOGO STAMP - check & check! 

This is all in good fun of course; nothing too serious, because I do have a real job, but while I'm at home recovering, what else do I have to do besides looking at and drooling over gorgeous interior design images on the internet?!?  ;)  Now back to the stamp! 

I searched high and low and finally came across this Etsy shop: Brown Pigeon, by Meagan Lewis.  Not only was she amazing to work with, but her hand-carved stamps are such great quality and really speak for themselves!

I simply contacted her, via etsy, and ended up sending her a b&w image of my logo.  After that, she began her magic and let me just tell you, she actually hand-carves these babies, from scratch!  For custom orders, it takes 4-6 business days until you get your proof, via email.  After you approve her proof, she then makes your stamp.  Can I just say what an amazingly beautiful job she does - so talented she is!  Thanks again, Meagan!  It has truly been a pleasure working with you and I cannot be more excited to begin using my new stamp!

Below, are a few pics of my latest addition, for you enjoyment.   


As you can see, Meagan's packaging is simply adorb!

Because I was so excited to see it, I seriously had to hold myself back from ripping this little box open, just so I could take this pic.

We're talking the epitome of carving perfection and talent, right here!



Here she is - the FINAL image of the stamp on paper - thanks again Meagan!
