AliceMaeDesigns Etsy Store Review and Giveaway

This posting is the tenth in a series of posts about my favorite Etsy stores. 

If you are looking for the perfect romantic accent for your home you will find it at AliceMaeDesigns. From gorgeous wreaths to candle holders, this Etsy store is the perfect place to bring that romantic oasis the outdoors offers into your home.

If you like what you see above you will love this Etsy store. I only wish I had found her store before my wedding last year…especially since her arrangements go along so well with my wedding’s theme. Oh well. At least I still have this beautiful wreath (one of her wonderful creations) on my front door. 

My favorite part is the bird’s nest on the wreath. Here’s a better view of it.


A little about the creative store owner…

Mary Alice, the owner and designer for AliceMaeDesigns, spent a number of years climbing the “corporate ladder” and nothing gave her quite the sense of satisfaction she hoped. She had been talking for years about opening up a Tea Room with an antique and gift shop connected. At the peak of her frustration with her job, she quit and began the journey that led her to Alice Mae Designs.

Mary Alice says, “I have always loved making things with my hands but never used artificial flowers because they were so cheap looking. A few years ago I began to fall in love with some of the new products available that are so life-like and beautiful so I tried my hand at making some arrangements and wreaths. I like a variety of styles – my favorites are woodsey and cottage.“

Alice Mae was her grandmother and Mary Alice always loved her impeccable taste so she planned to use that as her standard as she opened an Etsy shop. She also sells vintage and antique items with a friend on Vintage Cottage Garden  on Etsy. Her business is small right now but slowly people are finding her on Etsy and liking her work. 

“I love working with flowers and foliage and especially love to put nests in my creations. There is something cozy about a nest!” she told me. 
I’d have to agree with that. 

Some of her other products I really like are below:


Be sure to check out her Etsy store and view the many other beautiful products she offers:

    kind of hard to choose just one thing but i'd say the Blushing Pink Rose and Hydrangea Wreath with Nest…any of the nesting items with the candles were beautiful as well.
