Love is in the air... or at least on the mantle... I have created a wee ode to Grand Paris for Valentines Day on my mantle with some fun vintage globes, French words and paper Eiffel towers. What I love about this is a) It feels very whimsical and airy - a good antidote to "winter grey" and b) it is not too terribly Valentines specific and therefore can stay up for a while before ...

Handmade Gifts
Despite all the craziness I managed to create a few homemade treasures for gifts this year. Here are a 2 of the goodies I made and gave this Christmas: The first is for a friend who adores Index Cards - she is a little obsessed with them by her own confession; The gift included 2 sets of Index Cards and an old File Box that I painted red and embellished with Magnets I made from Punch-Out ...

Setting down the glitter for a moment…
My life right now is all about the glitter. Glitter and banners. Banners and glitter. I am a glitterin' fool. This is what my dining room table looked like 2 nights ago with orders ready to be put in mailers and sent out. My table will probably look a lot like this again tonight. But enough about work; How are you all? I have missed you this week! This morning I sat down to read through as many ... View Post
