So I'm off on vacation to sunny Florida... won't be back until Wednesday next week. Looking forward to the trip SO much and who knows, when I get back I might document my travels with a map print from JHill Design. Whether it be to Greece, Costa Rica, France, Colorado, Boston, Finland, Scotland, Rhode Island or even Florida, all your adventures can be summarized in one of her beautiful prints. Take care all and Happy Memorial Day!
As if the launch of Anthropologie's bridal line wasn't enough, now they have added decor to the BHLDN collection. They now have tabletop items, stationery, keepsakes and wonderful decorations like paper garlands, paper pom poms, paper twine, paper fans and so much more. Decorations are offered in multiple colorwyas to suit any wedding from jewel tones to elegant white. Nicely done BHLDN.
The confetti garland from Kristina Marie's Etsy shop is a great find, if I may say so. Paper garlands have endless uses.... I have some hanging from my curtain rods right now left over from a birthday party. They were just too pretty to take down. Her garlands are 10 feet in length and are available in vintage papers, confetti, or paper circles and flag shapes. Prices range from $24-$32.
Taking tomorrow off so HAPPY EASTER everyone!
Pinwheels! These twirling paper beauties from Elizabeth St are the perfect addition to a baby shower, birthday party or just to sit atop a cupcake. Bunch them together for an interactive display in your kids room or for a splash of color in your living room. They are sold individually or as a set. I love the sets of 12 mini pinwheels... 3" in diameter with a 6" stick. Check out all of the pinwheels at her Etsy shop.
Warning... there may be some profanity.... but it's funny. Offensive + Delightful is a new line of greeting cards that states things very bluntly. Like "Holy Sh*t, You're Having a Baby". Okay, may not be for everyone but if you've got a wise cracker in the bunch, you'll find the perfect greeting at Offensive + Delightful. By the way, I chose the tame ones for the post.
Ruka Ruka is a family run print studio out of London that specializes in simple prints for kids that illustrate the basic principles of color theory.

Just a warning... they are expecting a baby in March so if you want to place an order, do so by the end of February!!
