NEW in the Shop: Rubber Stamps

November 1, 2012

Filed Under : Shop

They’re finally here. The first set of rubber stamps! You can see all the new designs in my Shop, but to start with, let me introduce the washi-inspired ones. Three designs that can be purchased separately or as a set, they’re a great way to deck out your gift tags, social stationery, gift bags, and more. Let’s just say I’m saving some for myself too.

I also created some designs for my own company to use in my packaging, and when I love something so much, I like sharing them. So yes, you’re now able to purchase two of my very own special rubber stamps — the Handmade one and the Handle With Care one.

And who doesn’t love a custom rubber stamp? Get ready to leave your initials on all surfaces! Choose to have just your initials or the initials of you and your love and stamp away.

A Week Off

October 23, 2012

Filed Under : Personal

This week I’m going to take some time off to recuperate from being sick and catch up on all the work I’ve left behind since I started not feeling too great. It’s definitely not a great way to get into my holiday season — being really behind since I did almost nothing last week except sleep. I must have gotten too excited when the weekend came and I felt a million bucks better — only to have it catch up with me again Sunday evening. Got to love sick days, right?

BTS: Earthy Greens Styled Shoot

October 18, 2012

Filed Under : News

Last Friday, I had the honor of getting to style a shoot with an amazing group of gals. After setting everything up and making sure all was going to plan, I whipped out my camera for some behind the scenes (BTS) shots. I’m a terrible photographer, so most of the photos I won’t even bother bringing into the light. Here’s just a few to get you going and looking forward to when the real photos (taken by the talented Angela of Eminence Photography) will finally be ready for all to see!

To stay true to the earthy + homey feel of the shoot that I wanted, our location was a park where I spent countless summer days frolicking in. I also recruited three of my pretty friends to model for me. Too bad the rain decided to pour all day long with absolutely no breaks. We were constricted to a tiny space of about 20×20 square feet and it drove us all crazy. But I think, despite all that, we as a team worked beautifully together and I just know that the images are going to be incredible because Angela doesn’t produce anything less than that.

Soooooo excited to see the real photos! Thanks to all you ladies that come out and were a part of this! And especially a big thank you to my sweet friends who modeled for the day. You’ll see a photo above of one of my models warming her feet on one of the candles from the table. Clever! It wasn’t just wet, but the coldest day of the season that we’ve had so far. I was bundled up in my wool coat, and still couldn’t feel half my body after it was all over.

See more photos over on Facebook! And yes, my Instagram got a little BTS action too. It’s the first place for y’all to go to see what’s going on.
