MADE WITH LOVE...



ANITA FARRINGTON BRATHWAITE

A few years ago I started out with crafts and invitations. People had positive reactions to invitations that I would send to events that I was hosting - birthday parties, wedding showers, Kwanzaa ect…..Out of that grew requests to make invitations for themselves or friends and family members. That word and mouth network has grown into a viable sideline.

INVITATIONS - for small to large functions, including showers, weddings, children's and adult birthday, holiday including Kwanzaa. My invitations almost incorporate fabric or ribbon as well as high quality paper…which make them unique.

CRAFTS

Specialty fabric photo frames , thematic (ie., for children, bridal, multicultural fabric frames)

Line of scented decorative popourri envelopes, fabric, lace, or very fine paper) suspended from ribbon. They're called "Hang-ups". These are thematized as well similar to the above.

CLOTHING

I offer a line of children's vests and outerwear made to order. Usually there is a multicultural theme in the fabrics that I select. I like to work with tapestry and usually combine it with polar fleece or fake fur, and animal prints. Children's vests are around $45.00 and jackets up to $250.00.

MY INSPIRATION

My mother who I always remember working on some type of sewing or craft project…usually several at a time, and being amazed at how she could create something from nothing. It is also my therapy…it is so different from what I do professionally. It opens up an important window inside of me that relaxes me and gives a tremendous source of contentment.
