Pillows in love

Looking for a sweet wedding, anniversary or holiday gift? These king and queen pillowcases are lovely.

This customizable pillow goes perfectly with our Home Sweet Home wedding suite!

Warm Things.

It will be snowing soon for some of us. We thought we'd revisit this great idea to warm your cockles.  Warm things and caffeine do wonders to brighten an evening, particularly post daylight savings time.

Not just a chocolate lolly, hot chocolate on a stick.  A taste-tempting D.I.Y, which also could mean Drink It Yourself.  Maybe curled up with a good book?

Recipes, ideas, and all sorts of chocolaty savvy featured on a great blog called Giver's Log. Which we found via Sew, Mama, Sew.

And wouldn't it be a lovely after dinner cup for a winter wedding?

Fa-la-la!

Our Caroling Creatures holiday card is featured on Poppytalk today!

Thanks Jan!!

Holiday stamps!

Don't forget the details when selecting your custom holiday photo cards this year! Holiday themed postage stamps are a must!

Winter Wonderland

Our Winter Wonderland card was featuring in Apartment Therapy's Festive Cards from Illustrators and Artists round up.

Thanks AT!

Zulily Promotional

Have you heard of Zulily?

Zulily is a fab, beautifully curated listing of brands that specialize in kids and moms, be it clothing, decor, ephemera or stationery of course!

They have weekly and daily coupons and promos.  It's simple and painless to join the list (we love avoiding spam, too)— just provide your name and e-mail and you're set. They even have some deals for non-moms... and it's good inspiration for mom-wannabes.

Hello!Lucky has a current promo, through 11/9/2010, that's good for our birth announcements and great for holiday cards too.

Peruse the cuteness!

Some of our favorite stores for kids' stuff are their favorites too. They represent blabla, HABA, Zid Zid, Urban Smalls, Kiwi Industries and many more!

Vintage Ornaments

It's been too long since we've made it out to the Alameda Flea Market, so when we were reminded the other day of how much we adore vintage blown-glass ornaments, we had to find someplace to get an eyeful.  Our Woodblock Ornaments holiday card design put us in the mood, and we turned up all these lovelies to help us flea-shop vicariously.

Such beautiful music! We just couldn't hold back our holiday enthusiasm any longer.

Our personal favorite. What colors! Fancy a cup?

And a requisite Father Christmas.

AAACK! But maybe not this one! Teee heee!

All these come via a lovely vintage treasure blog called Oodles and Oodles.
