Owen and I are really excited that we finally have birthday cards in our shop. We’ve been working on this card for a while and it didn’t seem quite right. But, then we switched it to Owen’s new favorite color scheme, and everything fell into place. The yellow is a lovely, slightly-shimmery metallic ink that looks great in person. Check it out here.

It has become a vehicle for self-expression, more fashionable and functional than a tee shirt.

I’ve been looking for it and thinking about it as a color combination a lot recently and it may be my new favorite. So effin beautiful together. Credits and comments after the jump Kraft paper, cardboard, chipboard: the experts are all suckers for the stuff. Here’s a little tribute to the versatile beauty of a simple material.

The three make such a scrumptious little fambly (or “family” to the layperson), I just had to share.
We thought it might be nice on occasion to let you in on a few of the our recent etsy purchases that haven’t yet been featured in our weekly Etsy Schmetsy round ups. We wouldn’t want anyone having the misconception that only sell on and post about etsy — we are also frequent etsy shoppers. This week’s purchases are all made by Samantha and Jessica (tiniestj); it appears that Owen and Kirsten have been exhibiting a bit more budgetary control.

I am so intrigued by the femininity and intricacy of the patterns: so delicate, yet structural. Here are some delightful lace and lace-inspired finds from Etsy that I’m loving at the moment.
