easter greetings

I have to confess, I waited to the last minute to send some Easter cards. I really try to drop something in the mail for every holiday for the kids in our lives, snail mail lovers & far away family and friends. Easter just kind of snuck up on me so I scrounged up some supplies and got to work. Here's what I came up with, Washi tape Easter eggs. When all else fails, Washi tape just might be the answer!

yes, i still send snail mail and love it...

in the mail

A few "just because" notes today using some of my favorite stationery!

Bright & fun Pantone stationery set from Chronicle Books

Awesome illustrated Mars Cheese Castle letterpress card from Dingbat Press

Hammer Press "Hello" postcard from Chronicle Books

 

yes, i still send mail & love it...

gift-giver love

I recently got to give a couple lovely brides some sweet gifts. I am such a fan of the Soda by Amy line, I just love her patterning, texture and signature blue. She has something for everyone sure to please and handmade to appreciate.

the thrill of the find

Thanks to my partner in crime/flea market mentor I found some great stuff. A girl can never have too many purses or boxes! 2 carpet bags, a green trunk, an apple crate & wood cheese boxes found at a Chicago Estate sale. Hmm, what else will find me?

color love

Pascal Anson had an adhesive tape collection he decided to put to use on his stairs. I think it's a great way to add a pop of color & huge personality. See his great lil' video here.

hey thanks!

You can never have enough thank you notes nor can you ever send enough thank you notes. I had some gratitude to mail out and thought I'd check out some new, cute thank you notes. I just love Happy Penguin's "A letter is a hug from far away", so sweet to show up in the mail!
