Something's Hiding In Here

neckties are here!

FORAGE neckties are finally here! just like the bow ties, each one is hand crafted in limited numbers and comes in our signature packaging. they're 100% cotton - made from a mix of vintage, deadstock & chambray fabrics. there's a secret message inside each necktie (inspired by early 1900's autograph book signatures).

NYIGF

thanks sarah. xoxo

feeling a little under the weather and trying to catch up on email, i discovered the best surprise waiting in my inbox... sarah (of the small object) sent us a drawing of the cake topper she made for our 10th anniversary. i'm madly in love with her new drawings.

martha stewart gift wrap challenge - vintage portraits

today, on the martha stewart craft department blog we're sharing one of our favorite ways to wrap gifts... using color copies made from vintage portraits. you may remember the first time we played with this idea a few holidays ago. we love the idea of using a signature gift wrap each year. this one will certainly stand out and add some unexpected personality under your tree.

martha stewart's gift wrap challenge

this year, martha stewart's craft department invited a few of their favorite bloggers (eek!) to be a part of a holiday challenge. inspired by the wrapping arsenal from december's issue of living, we were asked to create unexpected gift wrap using inexpensive materials.

also sharing how they are wrapping gifts this year will be creature comforts, shimtokk, and hello sandwich (killer line-up, right). find more info on the martha craft dept blog and find the schedule for next week's show & tell.

i'm obsessed with the new book interwoven by the ladies of 3191. inspired by the amazing yarn from quince & co, mav gathered inspiration and color palettes while stephanie developed handmade designs. the book shares simple processes to make your own necklaces, bracelets, and headbands - it's so good!

after adding post-it notes to nearly every page, i visited the quince & co online shop and went a little crazy buying lots of american wool yarn. it's absolutely beautiful.

also from mav & stephanie, i adore 3919 quarterly...
