we’ve added a bunch of new cards to the shop! and now you can have a quick preview of some of our products with the new etsy widget!

ruby and caroline has signed up to participate in the lovely package exchange over at oh, hello friend! Stay tuned, more to come later this month.

okay, so this is slightly late in the game and i apologize. but i still wanted to share the cards i received from the crow & canary card swap.

crow & canary card swap

on the left is a card sent to me from jack + jenn, run by jackie shao and jenn loring, two new york based designers. view their blog here and their shop here.

on the right is a card sent to me from jumping jack designs, run by angie allen. view her blog here.

i sent them an embroidered heart card and hope they enjoyed them!

okay, so we have been slacking on our etsy shop a bit. but our day jobs have been the culprit along with traveling, etc. and i am sad to say that i missed the boat on valentine’s day. however, in my opinion, why do we have to have a special day to tell someone how much we care, right? therefore, i decided to still add my valentine’s cards to the shop, along with another little star card.

with the demise of my printer, i was forced to come up with different ways to make some cute cards. i decided to try out embroidery. i tried to keep them simple and i think they turned out all right. in fact i am kind of hooked on this embroidery idea and will be adding some more styles shortly. i promise.

anyway, head over to our shop and check them out!

I am visiting family right now and got the chance to explore some fun shops in Boston today!

First up: Gracie Finn

18 union park, Boston

I’ve yet to find a website for this cute card and gift shop so for now an address and photos will have to do.

More to come soon including other shops and a valentine’s card swap!

(the cards are little thank you notes by Snow and Graham.)

thank you paper source!!!

now all they need is the ability to make custom plates.

i was first alerted to this via the blah, blah, blagh…

One of the things we’re pretty excited about introducing in our shop are the personalized cards. You tell us what name (first or first and last) you’d like on the cards and pick the background pattern for the card. We show you a quick glimpse of what you’ve chosen, and then send off a custom order just for you!

Here’s one our cards with the pinwheel background:

And with the floral green background:

What combo do you like best?

It’s with great excitement that we announce the addition of three new holiday cards in our etsy store. Today we added “snowflake,” “polka dot,” and “dreams!” Each is a brand new design, and we’re super pleased how they turned out.

Here’s a preview of each of them:

Dreams

Snowflake

Polka Dot

Hope you’re all having a great Halloween weekend! Be sure and stop by our Etsy shop and have a look!

I woke up today bound and determined to get some holiday items finished up for our etsy shop. Chrissy and I are under a deadline now, folks! We’ll be putting some of our wares up for auction at a non-profit event next weekend. We are so thrilled to be a part of the fun, with money going to a great cause; a retreat center.

It’ll be a whirlwind weekend, but when I’m done, I’ll be revealing a small line of winter and holiday cards. And, if I can make it happen, there might be another how to as well.

What are you all up to this weekend?

I’ve got one eye on HGTV and another on some gorgeous blogs. Let’s just say my attention was stolen, very quickly, by these dreamy images from Gabriel Ryan Photography.

These are from the baby shower thrown for Gabriel and Carlie, soon to be parents, and the photography team behind Gabriel Ryan Photography. Regardez the invitations that mom to be Carlie created herself:

And then, check these amazing desserts that were placed out for the guests by Melody at Sweet and Saucy Shop:
