Hello There,
Today we bring to you Ashlee, from " The Dainty Miss ". Ashlee makes props, very very beautiful props! I asked her a few questions and you will see her amazing answers and some samples of her work.
I love her work because of its natural feel. The colors she chooses to pair up together go like an elephant with a peanut and just make you want to put them on! lol! But it's so beautiful, heartwarming, earthy and just plain darling. <3
I was very surprised with her answers, they were so truthful and full of great advice! Take a moment to view each question. You can check out her work HERE. Say hello and maybe even buy a couple things, I KNOW I would. :) <3
Thank you for your time Ashlee! I have enjoyed featuring you and just die over your items! <3

And here is Ashlee's beautiful family!!
How did you find your love for creating props?
I have a bit of an obsession for creating. I see something and automatically my mind goes to- how can I make that? I love it. As a photographer as well I would have something in my mind of what I wanted and instead of searching all over for it, it's so nice to be able to create exactly what I am looking for and then share it with others.
What are your favorite materials to work with?
I LOVE texture- mixing textures and chalky/dusty shades of colors is my favorite.

Why did you choose "The Dainty Miss" as your business name? does it hold a special meaning?
It doesn't necessarily hold anything special, I just wanted something that was girly. I'm not a knitter or a sewer (wish I was) so I knew I probably wouldn't be making anything for little boys. As a newborn photographer, no matter how many babies come into the studio, I always find myself greeting the babies and thinking- they are sooooo small! I love to create with small little dainty and delicate objects so it just felt like it went well together.

How much time goes into making your props?
I spend a lot of time in my "crafting room" I quote that because it's also a movie room, office, playroom, and spare bedroom. Haha. Because I spend so much time in there, I love that my 3 year old son can go in there (or the hubby) and hang out with me as I work. Family time is so important to me and I try to squeeze it in as much as possible
What do you think your customers love about your work the most?
I get a lot of comments about the natural elements to my work. I definitely have my own favorite look when I purchase props, but I try to be open minded when creating.
What advice would you give another prop seller about running this type of business?
My advice would be to introduce yourself to other vendors. Like I said before, I am a photographer so I have been buying for a while now. I have my favorite vendors I buy from. For some weird reason when I started selling, I was so intimidated by these vendors because I was worried they would think I would be stepping on their toes. The truth is- they are all sooooooo nice! I still have my favorites to buy from, but now I have a new list of favorites to chat with! Don't be afraid to talk to others in the industry- they are human as well and we all like to make new friends
