I had to find a card to send to my grandmother (in-law). She has at least 15 wedding anniversaries to remember every year, and we always get a card. Well I just wanted to thank her for being sweet as pie. I thought I'd have trouble finding a card that she would appreciate but this card from Compendium was perfect! I love a good quote and inside it says "you made my day", perfect!

i love color & these make me happy

These look like summer! I love the bright color that can make your summer delicacies even more fun. I saw these and they put a smile on my face. I stumbled across these on poppytalk, they are from Minneapolis artist, Araya Jensen. See them at wind & willow home.

love, love these!

I love my gadgets but I want them to look cool too, I can't help it. If I'm gonna carry this thing around every second of every day, I have to really, really like it. Well I think these are practical, fun and simply the coolest cases I've seen. They are an investment but they'll protect your favorite toys and look great doing it. These amazing works of art, recycled skateboards and protectors of all things important to us are from a small Portland company, Grove. Check them out and give them some love.

I don't do it enough but I love picking them out and sending cards. Here's a great housewarming card from Ohio based letterpress greeting card company, oddball press. So cute, I had to send it off to my cousin right away.

Send a card today, really (it's fun).

something adorable

I stumbled upon the lovely blog lottie loves. She has an insightful interview with Arkansas illustrator, Stacy of Gingiber. I thought these illustrations were so unique. They aren't your typical kid wall art. I love the texture and color that bring her art to life.

pop of red

It's summer, the strawberries are pure sweetness and I am lovin' these lovely pops of red! Red goes with every season and everything, it's always a good thing to add a little red to your day.

it's always the right time for candles

Take a look at these brilliantly bright new designs from illume. Rest assured they will smell great with scents like gardenia, thai lilly and tangerine teakwood. What I love about these is the patterns are all different but will still look great together for a pop of bright colors.
