In addition to the delicious food and beers at our local pub Magnolia, this new identity system from Nothing Something is also rather fabulous. Check out those fun coasters!

Oh! Tiny Owl Sweater!
We love to knit here at Hello!Lucky, and we especially love to knit tiny adorable sweaters for little people (ah! the (semi)instant gratification...), so when we saw this adorable sweater pattern byKathrin we were, ahem, a wee bit excited!
This little moustache pull is pretty darned cute too! The patterns are available on her Etsy shop...and she has a cute and inspiringblog too!

Museum of Useful Things
The Museum of Useful Things is well, just that. This online store carries some of our favorite crafting products such as bakers twine, giant paper clips and measuring tape tape.

DIY Halloween Costumes
Happy Monday after Halloween, all! We had quite the DIY extravaganza, with costumes inspired by Eunice & Sabrina's babies! Eunice crafted a unicorn head, with hubby Daniel as a leprechaun and their son as a pot of gold, and a fabulous rainbow banner.
The pot o' gold look was achieved with a gold lamé skull cap adorned with chocolate coin wrappers, and a plastic cauldron dissected and attached to a baby bjorn (with duct tape!).
With new twins, Sabrina didn't have time to DIY all the costumes, just her own - a banana tree!
The leaves were crafted with felt, using wire hangers for structure and attached to a fez-like hat made of fabric-covered cardboard. Tricky? Yes. But definitely a treat! Hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween!
Serendipity
Ah! How cool is this shop? It's called Serendipity and is, bien sûr, in Paris...We found it via Olivelse, a cute little shop (and blog!) that has tempted us many a time. They make these awesome stuffed ukeleles...
Serendipity carries an eclectic selection of charming unique objects from around the world...
These paint pot containers seem such a simple idea, but so cool...
How fabulous is this rug?
Love the bohemian vibe of these bed linens...
And this! A bowl for children made of silicon. Genius.
So inspiring, non? If you happen to be lucky enough to be traipsing about Paris, you can find Serendipity here: 81-83, rue du Cherche-Midi
75006 Paris. Otherwise, visit their online shop here - lucky for us, they ship internationally! Vive l'internet!
Happy Halloween!
Here's wishing you a fun Halloween!
More of our Favorite things... Paper and Porcelain!
Just had to share these with you!
Aside from writing letters, we'd say having folks over for coffee or tea is one of the best ways to keep in touch.
And how better to host a little get-together than with these beautiful handmade cups and saucers by Meredith Host? She gets some of her inspiration for design from paper patterns.
Just lovely!
We've had our eyes open for gifts, since it's getting on toward that season. We ran into Meredith's work on the Clay Studio website. The Clay Studio is a fab non-profit organization, studio, and artist residency for ceramic artists in Philadelphia. Had to give them a shout-out because they do great work, and have gorgeous handmade goodies.
Isn't this serving dish delish?
And this mug to match, found on Etsy. Thanks, Meredith!
Fluffy, Tulle Goodness!
What girl doesn't fantasize about floating about in a cloud of tulle? Ouma creates these delicate concoctions that would make even the most, ahem, possibly not-so-graceful of us, feel like a a picture of grace and ballerina-like elegance...
How dreamy is this hand-dyed ombre skirt? Coveting this deeply!
And how gorgeous would these be for bridesmaids? These are dresses that would never be relegated to the back of the closet!
You can find Ouma here and get some made-to-order fanciness of your own...

Letterpress Cookies!
Speaking of wood type, how sweet(!) are these letterpress printed cookies?! They'd be so cute for a kid's birthday party! Just be sure to clean the blocks thoroughly before stamping!

Lovely Letterpress Leftovers
Spotted these grand assemblage pieces by Eric Ulrich on Junkculture.
As letterpress afficionados, though, we must make a disclaimer: if you happen upon a set of wood block type, make sure it's incomplete and thoroughly dinged up before you re-purpose it. Good, complete sets of fonts are hard to come by. Consult with a pro. : ) (These look pretty well worn; the blog says Eric salvaged the type from a printing company in Iowa.)
Love the textures and colors! Makes us feel at home.
Herriott Grace
How gorgeous are these petit flags and other sweet handmade things from Herriott Grace?
Even more charming is the fact that it's a father daughter venture that began with Lance Herriott sending his daughter hand carved wooden spoons in the mail...
All their products are hand-made (you know how we love thingshand-made!)
How lovely is this wooden cake pedestal?
Nikole and Lance Herriott - we are big fans!
Beautiful Enameled Jewelry by Jill Baker Gower
Jill Baker Gower's wallpaper patterned enameled earrings are exquisite! We think they'd make perfect bridesmaids' gifts to coordinate with our Antoinette stationery design. Such an elegant mixture of modern design and vintage patterns.
And how about this gorgeous enamel and silver pendant? Jill teaches Metalsmithing at Rowan University in New Jersey, and she does beautiful work, including some very simple and elegant bridal commissions.
Splendid silver rings to match! You can see more of Jill's work, including her fascinating sculptural jewelry here.
Happily...
This embroidered linen would make a lovely wedding or housewarming gift....

The Exquisite Book Signing Party!
Last night we attended a book signing party for The Exquisite Book, a project headed by the lovely Julia Rothman. We were honored to be asked to participate in the book (see Eunice's contribution here). The signing took place at the ever fabulous Rare Device.
Eunice was on hand to sign books with her trusty companion Jude (trying to take credit for her hard work! Some people....).
The party hosted a live drawing event featuring contributing artists Caitlin Keegan, Kelly Lynn Jones, Susie Ghahremani,Tom Neely, Lorena Siminovich and Lisa Congdon.
Eunice adds her signature hot dog!
