Consumer Crafts

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007


I’ve been patiently waiting to tell you about this new web site. I figured a lot of my readers are crafty people so hope you all enjoy this site. My husband got a new job last November and building this site was the first project he was assigned to. Finally it is completed.

I think the site stands out from a lot of it’s competitors. It is neatly organized and easy to find what you’re looking for. The site contains over 4,000 products and is updated monthly. You can also find tips, techniques and a project gallery.

Consumer Crafts is offering FREE SHIPPING. Just enter promo code freeshipping during checkout. Let me know what you think of the site. I’m sure my husband and his team would appreciate some feedback.

Hand Stitched Notepads

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007


These hand stitched notepads are from the etsy shop of Shiny Black Shoes. Large pads are 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and the smaller pads are 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. These colors are great for fall. Here in Ohio we don’t get much of a Fall season. One day it’s 70 degrees and the next day it will drop to 30 degrees. We basically go from Summer to Winter pretty quickly. So, I have to enjoy fall in other ways.

Just Another Day

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007



The etsy shop of Just Another Day has some beautiful holiday cards and tags. However it’s not even November yet and I think I’ve viewed to much holiday stationery. So, I thought I would post a few other designs from Just Another Day. These cards are 5.5″ x 4.5″ and blank on the inside. You get 4 per pack.

Posh Papers

Posh Papers is an online paper boutique created and maintained by Christine Mattson. This online shop happens to carry one of my favorite stationery lines, Mariella Designs (pictured above). The butterfly is my favorite. Most of the designers represented on Posh Papers are small women-owned businesses.

Christine also has a unique feature on her site called “Personal Shopper“. Just send an email about what you’re looking for and Christine will find it for you!

Sugarcube Gift Tags

Friday, October 26th, 2007


I keep finding so many cool gift tags. This is perfect since the holidays are coming up but gift tags always seem to come in handy. These tags are from the etsy shop of Sugarcube. I thought the graphic numbers was unique. You could tie one of these tags onto a child’s gift with the number matching their age.

Flavor Paper Wallcoverings

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

I totally forgot about this fabulous web site. If you’re looking for some unique wallpaper you can definitely find it here. “Flavor Paper produces unique vintage, contemporary and custom handscreened wallcoverings that will add a burst of flavor to any environment.”


Flavor Paper released twelve new patterns in the Spring of 2007. Included in this release was the Scratch and Sniff wallpaper collection. The wallpaper actually smells like fruit. You can also order these prints without the scent but what fun would that be?

I wish I could make stuff out of paper like this. My house would be filled! These paper sculptures by Richard Sweeney are just amazing! I love when I find stuff like this on the web, it’s so beautiful and made out of such a simple item.

The last image is from an installation at the DKNY flagship store in London.
