The postcards I ordered arrived last week! I wanted just a little something extra for my lovely Etsy and Madeit customers, so will be including one of these in all my packages along with a stamped thank you gift tag and hand written note.

Some new things

Bits and Pieces

New Thank You tags. Hand carved stamps.

New Thank You tags made with hand carved stamps, for my lovely Etsy and Madeit customers.

My new logo stamp I ordered.

And my new logo stamp. I really love it, especially when I stamp it onto textured white cardstock or kraft paper. I am a paper/stationery nerd.

My Mother's Things

My Mother's things

My Mother's things

I am a hoarder, my mother is a hoarder and her mother was a hoarder. As a result my parents house is filled with beautiful old knick knacks and things. Pictured are vintage wooden soldier skittles and a wooden toy dog on wheels, my Great Grandfathers cigar tins and old books, and a collection of broken shards of china and ceramics found in the backyard when gardening. I'm lucky to have such sentimental family members who hold on to these things.
