The Break and The Return!

It’s time! Get ready and mark your calendars. We’re officially reopening October 17th!

I’ve essentially been on “maternity leave” for three years now. I announced that we would be closing Jitneys in October 2019 until further notice, mainly due to our precious Izzy girl being born. “This decision has not been taken lightly; in fact, we’ve been struggling with it heavily as it’s been tattered with an array of emotions, doubts and fears (which is why I’ve been so delayed in even posting this announcement); but we also have full confidence in where Jesus is leading us, that He has called us to this decision and that He goes before us.”

2018 Spring Stationery + Print Collection by Jitneys // Art Prints

Last week, we featured our new 2018 Spring Stationery collection so we'd like to highlight our new art prints this week! Most of these pieces were inspired by our travels in Japan, Germany and Italy (all of which I have yet to post about but hope to soon!). Many of these prints were inspiration for the patterns found on the greeting card collection. The combination of a print and complementary stationery would make a fantastic gift set!

I've been taking Skillshare classes from Elizabeth Olwen and Bonnie Christine. If you haven't heard of Skillshare or looked into, go now. It is my, hands-down, most favorite learning site. If you click this link, you can get a free month membership. 

A S S I G N M E N T

Via Bonnie Christine: The assignment for this course is to create a mini collection of 6 repeating patterns. Collections should be cohesive in style, theme and color. An excellent collection will tell a story through it's pieces and engage the viewer with a unique color story that provides depth and contrast. Patterns should vary in scale and include small, medium to large sized motfis, as well as vary in complexity with some patterns being simple and others being very complex.

Pattern Collection: A Fresh Beginning

Collection Story: A Fresh Beginning is the story of an artisian embarking on a unique creative journey, with each pattern expressing a step taken in discovering who she will become during this season of her life. This pattern has been inspired by the little ones she hopes to see running around in her garden in the years to come. 

Pattern Names: Rest // Awakening // Growth // Refreshment // Forest // Garden Whimsy
