Tassels, The Prettiest Thing You'll Never Need

I sell tassels.
I sell handmade, one of a kind, adorable sweet tassels.


And I'll admit, no one actually needs a tassel.


You can truly live a fulfilling life without one.


Or, at least that's what I've heard.



Your lamp will not care if it is naked.


Nor will your armoire.


And if you have one, well, there's no room for another.


I cannot think of one place to hang them.


They are so dull and boring.


You do not need a tassel. Do not go to my overflowing with fresh, beautiful tassels etsy shop and buy yourself one. Oh, and they make horrible gifts too.

PS I am at a coffee shop again because my internet has gone out for the second time. If you are expecting an email from me--so sorry, give me a day or so to work out these kinks!

Any chance you would sell a tutorial pattern for your tassels? I love them so much and can't afford to buy as many as I want but I'd pay for the pattern!

I have to admit I have never really cared about having a tassle UNTIL I saw the ones you make. I think they are in a class all their own! I also think is AMAZING that you are moving, have kids home for the summer, intenet is out AND you blog daily anyhow...If I had an award I would give it to you!!!

Hi Nester~ Do I mail the payment to your old address? I e-mailed you before I read your p.s. at the end of the post.

Karen said...

those are adorable! I have saved your store to check out!

I have an antique buffet in my foyer. I would love to send you a pic of it and have you suggest how I should accesorize it.

I really need a tassel. Think you'll ever make one of those pug tassels again. Oh I finally posted about my, kitchen cabinets that I painted. I copied your sister's black ones in her previous house (it seems rude to call it her "old" house)

Tassles are ALWAYS necessary! They're like earrings - no one would really notice if you weren't wearing any, but as soon as you put some in, BAM! People are like, "Oh wow! LOVE the earrings!" That's what tassles do. They're like earrings for your house!

P.S. I love the Tupelo Honey bottles!

I have been wanting to add tassels to my bedroom lamps. I'll have to special order some from you.

As for the white plates...
I say Thank you for your ideas. I have never thought of white plates like that. I just figured they were boring. Now...not so.

Thanks for all your wondderful advice!!!

Ugh, I SO don't want one of those. My husband would not be at all suspicious that I would end up buying 100 of them for all over our home. He wouldn't even think the thought. And no way everyone who comes overwould admire them and want their own. I'm not getting a second cup of coffee to go check out your shop. Nope, no way.
(love the past, too funny)

Tabitha said...

Love the post, I mean, naturally!

Tabitha said...

HI!! May I link you on my "Roots & Wings" blog for my "Friday's Find?" I loooove your site and your tassles!!

EVERYBODY needs pretty in their life! They're on my list for my birthday this year. :)

Valarie Lea said...

There are so many places that I just don't need to put any of those. :o)

Julie @ Sweet Chaos said...

Wow, my husband is going to hate you for sure now. I can't complete a project or a shopping trip anymore. You're giving me too many things to do. Keep up the good work.

By the way, how are you at a coffee shop after not even being in your new house for a week, and having 3 kids??? I really adore you.

Julie @ Sweet Chaos said...

Oh yeah, I second the lady who wants the tutorial. I have a my great aunt's 10 cent chicken bird that desperately wants fluffed. Please share!!

First of all, I really lurv the red and tan bird tassel. Perfect for my house. If you're not going to be selling it, I want a bird tassel possibly in those same colors. I also need to send you my dogs that we talked about for you to make them into tassels for me. Do you still have my e-mail address to send me your new address?

Woohoo, I snagged the domino tassel. It will look soooo cute on my black armoire!

It sucks that your internet keeps going out. They better get that fixed. I count on you for all my easy decorating ideas. LOL. Well I dont' have to but I sure like to think I do. LOL

Lauren and Justin said...

Lydia said...

Where's the ocean theme tassels? And teapot tassels?

Karen said...

Hey, I just noticed you have lived in Farmington Hills! I live in Livonia!

Nicol said...

I never really thought about needing a tassel until now. I now think that I must get/purchase/make some soon to go on the armoir. It looks a little bare.

Hillcrest Acres said...

I should be cleaning the kitchen...I should be putting the laundry away...I should be picking up the family room. I should be etc., etc., etc.... But instead I sat myself down upon my chair to take a quick break and can't get up because I'm looking at all your cute photos and reading all your posts. Love the tassels!!! You've got talent!!!

Good luck with the rest of your rooms and all the unpacking.

Jenileigh said...

They are beautiful!!

Wendy said...

Oh, my poor naked lamps!!

I can't decide which of your tassels I love the most!

Katrina said...

I have always admired these! I have that cream clock too. I am popping over for a look :)

Hazel Martin Designs said...

Tiffany said...

You are so funny! I hope reverse psychology works for you!

Ann said...

I loved your tassels so much I was inspired to create my own. In like two minutes I dug around in my treasures and created one for myself. I totally fell in love with your blog and now your on my role!

Tracey said...

I never even cared about a dang tassel UNTIL I bought the one from your eBay yard sale for my baby girls room. Now I want to tassel every last thing in my house.

Robin said...

Awww Nester...
Sounds like you are really suffering..so I suggest a good soak in the tub with your favorite candles and a good cup of Hot Tea, not to mention some great chocolates, and a good book!!!
Or you can make Tassels!!! LOL!

Miss ya, girl! Hope all is going well with the move and that you found places for everything but the Black Table and Chairs...I need those here!

I think you should sell tutorials on how your tassels are made!

BTW...take any donated materials to inspire your creativity??? I have lots of doo-dads that would be perfect!

Not to invoke jealousy or anything, but I bought one of your tassles. I got the one with the rooster on it. It is even better in person than in the picture. I was so excited when it came. I had just mistreated some windows. For a tieback, I used a mismatched pair of antique wrought iron coat hooks. So, the tassle is hanging from there. I really didn't need it.
