martha stewart crafts

Have you seen that nearly everything is on sale over at Martha Stewart crafts?

Yay for Martha!  Hope you're having a good weekend.

gifts for our little one

Of course we got our little one a few toys for Christmas ... but I'm most excited about these two things ...

A little backpack.. its 12x12 so its a bit big [from the Urban Outfitter's men section] but perfect for next year.  And a little cardigan from J.Crew.   I definitely took advantage of the big sales at both stores. :]

Happy Friday + thanks Rachel for posting about my christmas cards!

andrew bush envelopes

And speaking of envelopes, how great is this collection of envelopes ...

He also has a collection of business cards + labels.  Love it.

shinzi katoh letter sets

I've been working on a bunch of new things including adding some sort of coordinating design to my envelopes ... and came across these lovelies ...

How great are these sets by Shinzi Katoh [love him].

laurie frankel photography

I'm loving the still life work of Laurie Frankel ...


Kate sent over the link to me [thank you - I love it too!]. 

golden

I know I post about girl clothing way too much.  But I can't help it especially when I come across things like this ...

So cute.  From golden new york. 

And thanks for all your kind words about my little christmas card!  I hope our recipients like just as much!

christmas cards done

I finally finished our cards yesterday + they've gone in the mail today [hooray!] ...

I've been working on these on + off for what seems like forever.  I like how they turned out + am very happy to have them done + share here.  I letterpress printed on heavy stock a little letter from our little one.  Got some stamps.com stamps + moo cards made [rounded the corners myself] with the photos from our session with the lovely Kate Headley.   I think holiday cards are one of my favorite things to make.  Though next year I think I'll do something a little less involved [I say that now but we'll see!]

colorful leather

I like these colorful leather bound goodies ...

I especially wouldn't mind having one of the dictionaries.  From auto.  Pottery barn also has pretty leather journal sets.

a fab linen apron

The pictures don't give it justice ... how lovely is this apron? ...

Last month when I was looking for a linen apron, Lindsay was soo kind enough to offer + make me one.  How amazing is that?  And today, I received it + everything about it from the fabric to the details to the packaging is perfect.  Thank you so much, Lindsay.  I look forward to returning the favor.   Also, be sure to check out Lindsay's shop for lots of goodness.

I sure do like these clean, structured pieces by moschino ...

I'm still loving yellow!  Happy Monday.
