in the mail

I haven't kept up with a lot of things lately but I am still making an effort to drop at least one card in the mail every week. Honestly, it is a reason for me use & find all the amazing cards out there! This card from Laura George captures the essence of everything I love about mail plus her illustrations are so stinkin cute! Sigh...another reason to love snail mail.

woodland cuties

I am helping to decorate my niece-to-be's nursery. We are going with a woodland theme and I have found so much lovely art along the way. I love the idea of having original artwork but of course that is expensive & takes time so yes, another reason to love all the makers at etsy, there is something for any theme you can think of.

i heart nell & mary

Nell & Mary is a Portland, Oregon based environmentally friendly & social conscious line. This line is simple, unique and refreshing. I am loving these geometric, sketchy designs. The pillows are mostly two-sided so you get a little something extra in each one. This is another favorite from the Chicago Renegade Craft Fair. I am so drawn to the mountain art...love this tote!
