Ferm Living

by admin



I’m a little late on posting this but Ferm Living has some new wallpaper designs. I just love them all. I wallpapered my half bath a few months ago and was so pleased with the way it came out. Eventually I would love to wallpaper another room with something from Ferm Living. It’s so great that Ferm Living is now available in the US.


Calendar Tags

by admin

These are great. I never know what day it is. I’m not sure what I would do with them but they’re cute and colorful. Maybe I could stick them on the top of my monitor. They’re great for scrapbooking but I’m not a scrapbook person. You can purchase these calendar tags here in Elle’s studio on etsy.

For more ideas on how to use these check out Elle’s blog.


Papierwelt

I love these images from Ursula Achten. Things made from paper really fascinate me. They’re so fragile but so detailed. I can’t image the time that goes into creating things like this from paper.

More Gift Tags

These gift tags are from the etsy shop of Petite Pear Paperie. I’m really loving tags right now. The detail on the brown leaves is beautiful. Petite Pear Paperie has over 120 items currently for sale. You can even add some custom calligraphy to your order for a special touch.


Gift Wrap, Recycle and Reuse

by admin


I was recently asked by a local magazine to put together some unique ideas for wrapping gifts. The article won’t be published til October. Since most of my readers probably do not live in Cleveland I think it’s ok to post. These ideas come from items that are found around your house or your office. There are so many things you can reuse to create cool gift wrap. You can view the ideas by clicking here. If the type is to small on the screen you should be able to double click and enlarge the copy.

Above is an image from one of my favorite unique wrapping ideas, Furochic Gift Wrap by Jenny Wren Paperie. I have posted about this before, but I just love it. This is also eco-friendly. You can reuse the gift bag as a purse. It would also be easy to recreate something like this… you can read more about that in the list.


Sanna Annukka

I absolutely want one of these prints from Sanna Annukka. (I want a lot of things right now). Sanna recently opened an online shop. Now you can purchase some of her work here. Make sure to browse her portfolio also. Sanna has done some amazing work.


JHillDesign

by admin


I was looking for things related to Chicago (since we are going there soon) and came across these notecards from JHill Design. I love the idea and inspiration behind the work of Jennifer Hill. These notecards are based on the statement “Places I’ve Never Been”. On the notecards you can find influential information regarding the place that is being represented. You can definitely tell how much thought and time goes into this work. I love it.


Loose Petals

by admin


I appreciate when readers submit links letting me know about cool sites. That’s how I came across Loose Petals. This is a great site to find a wide variety of greeting cards. Loose Petals is based in Chicago and all cards are made from recycled papers. The client list of Loose Petals is pretty impressive. Clients include Anthropologie, Kate’s Paperie, Paper Source, Sur La Table and many more!


Trip to Chicago

by admin

My husband and I are heading to Chicago in a few weeks. The air fare was just to good to pass up… $49.00 each way. Who could resist??? We have been to Chicago a few times but we’d like to do some different things this time. If anyone has the inside scoop to Chicago we would appreciate some tips. Thanks!


Gocco Gift Tags

by admin

I still love gocco. These gocco gift tags are from the etsy shop of Things are Better with a Parrot. I’m always scrambling around trying to make gift tags to go with my gifts. Sometimes it’s just as nice to have a beautiful gift tag as a card. It would definately be a good idea to gift tags like these on hand. Sarah is the owner of this shop, and you can find her blog here.

Make sure to check Sarah’s shop tomorrow, 8/22. She is adding new items. Can’t wait to check it out.
