I am loving these lace-patterned, screenprinted cards from cutiepie company … the colours are so fresh & so exactly like their names - they would make great ‘thank-you’ notes to send or receive in the midst of a grey and snowy January!

We are so pleased to be participating in this month’s Modish Marketplace! Every shop in the marketplace is offering a super deal of one kind or another, from discounts, to free shipping, to free offers (and I have been rapidly filling up my own wishlist with things I’ve spotted there ^_^). Be sure to check us out in the paper goods section!

Spent  part of today shopping at the One-of-A-Kind show in Toronto - there was so much, but these were some of my favourites:

stationery by Schoolyard Studio

ceramics by Robin Tieu

skincare by Matter Company

daydreaming (okay, procrastinating) on a grey winter day (I’ll update later with the names of all the peeps who made this great stuff, but for now here’s the link to this treasury:

I am loving the illustration work of Brigette Barrager - there’s so much style & warmth & motion in her characters. She has an etsy shop full of things I love, but the best, the absolute best, are these cool family tree, jewelry stand things she does, full of little portraits. So great!

I painted some thrifted spice racks to use as displays for my cards at a craft show … here’s before (and oh yes, my deck needs painting too):

And after (please excuse the blurriness):

More craft show table pictures here, here, and here.

Hi - just a reminder that I will be at Hoopla tomorrow, with tons of prints & stationery in tow - see all the deets below. There will be lots of great artisans, door prizes, free coffee … so if you live in the Toronto area, stop by!

Just a quick note about these great bookplates I saw today on Etsy, by decoylab. There is something so special and warm about these illustrations … they remind me a little of vintage children’s  illustrations but of course they have a style & feel that is totally their own.

I’ve signed up for an exciting swap over at cloth.paper.string …  for art of the note, participants in groups of ten will exchange sets of original gocco’d note cards (52 people have signed up in total)! Paper/stationery fiend that I am, I can’t wait to see what my swap-mates produce, and I’ve already started some sketches for my contribution.  I’ve been doing a lot of ‘cute’, and I’m thinking something more subtle is in order … 



(A doorway in my neighbourhood.  I somehow didn’t even notice the horse when I took the picture, I was just looking at the numbers!)  

p.s. There’s a giveaway too, until end of the day Wednesday July 30.
