Thank you to everyone who I’ve been lucky enough to have done custom stationery and letterpress pieces for!

So I’ve been MIA. I regret to inform you that blogging will slow down significantly and I will not be taking any custom jobs until the spring due to the fact that I’m expecting. I am very ill and have had to turn away jobs until then to maintain strength needed to sustain the baby. I’ll spare you the gory details, but just know I’m not being a slacker, I’m just not taking to this pregnancy well. You can still purchase items in my Etsy shop that are pre-printed and I’ll have new product to launch in the spring to celebrate getting this baby out of me and into this lovely world! 

Hey guys! My website needs a desperate winter overhaul so I’ll be posting the winner for the giveaway tomorrow with next week’s giveaway as well. This giveaway will go through next Saturday to give everyone a fair chance. I might be posting here this week, I might not. Like I said, my website will be revisited this week and will be updated with MORE photography, a finalized collection, PDF catalogues for retail inquiries, line sheet inquiry info, ABOUT ME, and hopefully if I’m lucky some studio work (this part might be wishful thinking), as well as direct linkage from product on the site to the shop. 

This is for all you Canadians out there! It’s fall here and the aspens are turning. This was inspired out of my love for large maple trees and their gorgeous red foliage in the fall. I’ve tried twice to plant the Autumn Blaze Maple in our yard but it seems our winters are too harsh for a young sapling! Quite pathetic and disheartening. So in honor of the maples that won’t grow in my zone despite what the local nursery says, I’ve made some lovely fall Maple Leaf cards.

For those of you out there that are in the market for a new handbag, visit HandbagPlanet.com. In honor of their launch on October 15th, they will be giving out 1 handbag on the hour for 24 hours! There are some great bags so go check it out.

My amazing mom was a caterer when I was young and instilled early in me a LOVE for all things dishes. Instead of paying taxes she purchased (legally, mind you) dishes for her business. Among her collection are original Fiesta ware, Villeroy and Boch, Waterford Crystal, Spode, Mikasa, Dansk, and more. I have to say my favorite memories as a child were scouting antique stores for Fiesta ware or the unique little tea cup or tea pot. I remember for one of my birthdays as a young girl wanting an english tea party. I think I was turning 5. We set out round tables in the backyard and everyone wore their fancy garb. One of the gifts my mom gave me was my first teapot, a china blue squarish pot perfect for a small child’s fingers. I haven’t collected much myself since I’ve been married as money is tight, however someday maybe I’ll have a collection as amazing as my mother’s! 

In wrapping up pink week and a little weddings on the side, this next giveaway is for anyone but specifically for those that might be writing a lot of thank you notes! Think, bridal showers, baby showers, wedding gifts.
