{Ritzy Rose Studio} Behind The Scenes | from March 15, 2012

March 07, 2014

Recently, we had Amy Clark Studios over to our studio to capture our workspace for an article that was featured on Etsy's homepage.  Etsy was interviewing me for their Quit Your Day Job blog, and they wanted to see where the magic happens.  Amy followed us around our 1915 home, which is just outside of Columbus, Ohio.  Until now, only the brides in Columbus (or those who were ambitious enough to travel here from far away lands) were able to see the inside of the studio.  To all my other friends around the world, here it is!

Below is the vintage rotating bin (aptly named the "Rotabin") where I store all of my brooches. Everything is coordinated by color, size and type.  Brides who visit the studio can spin each tier to select the pieces for her bouquet or jewelry.

The Rotabin stores nearly 10,000 vintage brooches.  Behind that, the Great Wall of Press.  In the entrance to our studio, we have the long purple and gold table (from our wedding ceremony), which displays some vintage pieces.  
 Mr. Ritzy Rose toiling away on the computer.  Sometimes, Mr. Ritzy Rose toils away in our secondary studio, a.k.a "the dungeon".  We have two rooms in the basement devoted to stock, shipping, photography, production and storage.  Here, he's soldering a purple truck for a boutonniere.  It's not really a dungeon if there are three chandeliers, is it?
We recently got this piece from Objects For The Home in Grandview.  It's an old restaurant cart, but I filled the trays with crystals, pearls and vintage necklaces for my brides to try on while they're here.

Update 7/27/2013 - Our new store opened this month and the studio has been reclaimed as our house!  The dungeon still is up and running, but you will find the Rotabin, our R's and all our products now at 18 West Columbus Street in Downtown Pickerington, Ohio.

{Country Music Style} The Rankin Twins Get Ritzy | from March 8, 2012

March 07, 2014

Many great things came from being a vendor for the Lambert & Shelton wedding.  One of them was hooking up with two stylish country singers named the Rankin Twins.  These girls are just as cute as they are talented.  Did I mention they are identical twins?  If you haven't already heard their music, pick up their CD (or find them on iTunes).
Amy and April requested a couple of stage-worthy accessories from The Ritzy Rose.  They like feathers and sparkle, and they love blue, green and black (although I think they can pull off just about any color successfully).
I studied their Texas style as much as I could.  There were lots of tweets back and forth while I was shopping at flea markets to figure out what they would love.  Over the course of several months, we've become twitter friends.  Finally, I came up with a few ideas and sent them a package filled with sparkle, feathers and leather.  I was super excited when I saw this tweet:
" Ooooooh compliments of . You just brought smiles to our faces. Xoxo. Thanks so much!!! "
Thanks for the Twitter shout outs!
":   one of your items is making a debut on stage tonight :)"

Thanks Amy & April Rankin for sharing these pictures!  I just finished making a few necklaces that I think you'll like, so keep an eye out for another package this Spring!!!!
