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.

divine pop-up in NYC

we spent the weekend in NYC for the holiday craft sale at the divine studios. we had the best neighbours ever: erin jang of the indigo bunting, sue eggen of giant dwarf and walter & margaux from peg and awl... not bad company!

special thanks to laura kaesshaefer and the crafts department at martha stewart for inviting us.

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.

thanks to erin jang from the indigo bunting we're obsessed with this little printer from berg. how have we been living without it? 2012 never seemed so far away.

interwoven & 3191 quarterly

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...

forage pop-up {art star bazaar}

this past weekend, we set up a small FORAGE shop at the art star bazaar in philadelphia. our favorite part of doing these shows is seeing old friends (giant dwarf, red prairie press, chez sucre chez, brainstorm) and making new ones (adam smith, girls can tell, farmhaus, kinship press, yard sale press). thanks to everyone who came by to see us especially jahn from bklyn dry goods.
