ideas

I have been collecting random ideas over at pinterest and here is couple of them, which would be great as Valentines present. 52 thing I love about you...from here, and keys from places you lived together from here. Fancy more crafting? head over to my idea corner...

Petra

I love having this blog and it's amazing how you can almost become a friend with someone who you never met, have things in common and probably loads to talk about. While ago a lady,who happens to be a stylist and interior designer, sent me a lovely email about their orders from my shop, my work and just one of those really nice uplifting sweet emails...Since then Petra has finished one of her projects, where she used some of our posters and we also exchanged few emails. With that she sent me these photos of the finished house and how good is our poster in the first photo?:) Thank you so much!

if I only change one thing this year

it would be to do one thing at a time. Spending time with A., working on one project at a time, cooking a meal, reading a nice book, watching film without my laptop...It makes me calmer and gives me better sense of achievement. This weekend I tried to do just that. Went on a little trip to here and just had a great time with family....how about you? would you like to change anything this year? 

there is beauty in simplicity

on a quite mood...video about two exceptional children....

I won't be around next couple of days, so have a lovely weekend:)

you are simply wonderful

Last day for Valentines orders in our shop is 6th February...don't forget about your loved ones!:)

well curated project

MADE is a bi-annual project fashion trade even in NY and Las Vegas. Definitely worth watching; great idea and incredibly well curated and executed. PROJECT

copy - inspiration - what do you think?

After an email yesterday I found another person who is very much copying/ taking a lot of inspiration from my work. If you are not in a mood for this don't worry see you another time with more optimistic mood, but if you have couple of minutes please follow these links: 

+  my shop/work - started doing these pictures back in 2009

1. number 1- started 2011

2. number  2 - started 2010

3. number 3 - started 2011

4. number 4 - started 2011

5. number 5 - started 2010

6. number 6 - started 2010

7. number 7 - have even similar coloured logo:) - update - the owner of the shop took down their listings and changed logo since this post...

OK.....so what do you think? I have had emails in past about some of these from my customers and let it go, as it just made me feel worse dealing with it then better. But today I have been thinking about  it  and I'm simply f...off. I do understand the word is becoming very small with internet and all inspiration around us, and we all look at the same blogs, websites etc. But you just don't get the exactly same idea, in my case personalised hearts with initials, dates etc, half stuck hearts, hearts from books, in row of 7x6....

So apart from ventilating this on my personal blog I won't do anything else I just hope...they step on a lego one point ( and nothing personal)....

if there is no chocolate in heaven....

I'm not going...:) aren't these great? design+photos - Formelle Design. 
I watched Drive yesterday, liked it a lot. Oh Ryan Gosling:)

little cute mokkasin

Very happy we have a new stock list for our poster. Do you remember I posted these great photos just before we went to NY in November? What a happy coincidence when Sofia contacted me after Christmas about having our poster in her shop. And the poster seems to be very popular as they all already prebooked:)... Sofia has a great style, and her blog and home is prove of it...and how sweet is the name of her shop? .....little cute mokkasin

BIG thank you to Emma who mentioned our letterpress cards yesterday..

what is your favourite song ?

Hello there! Can you help me? I'm working on new stuff for the shop which involves "your favourite song" or " your favourite song lyrics" and I need some suggestions...this can be anything in English and no longer then 200 words. Thank you! and have a good day:)

new letterpress cards

Because we believe that a message doesn't have to be shouted,

even a little whisper can make you smile or love.

This is our new project with Audrey. Letterpress cards, mostly "printed" without ink (blind embossed). All cards are printed by hand on vintage press Adana. There are Valentines/Wedding/Anniversary cards, Happy Birthday and Congratulations cards. Other cards are set of 10, 20, 30 in a box - Thank you, Merci, You are invited, or Personalised Monogram Cards. 

We love the almost invisible effect of embossing without colour and think that sometimes words with true meaning don't have to be shouted loud....

....Let us know what you think.....
