Pewter Modern Landscape pulls from f. is for frank I have a few furniture make over projects on my to-do list that I’ve been scoping out some drawer pulls for. The projects are still probably a few weeks away from getting started, but I like to have a complete vision for where things are going [...]

A couple weeks ago as I was drying off some dishes, I suddenly realized how plain and boring all of my kitchen towels are. Functional, yes. Attractive, not so much. So I began a little search on Etsy for kitchen towels with some personality and now I simply can’t make up my mind! I love [...]

If April showers bring May flowers, I’m hoping April goals bring May crossed-off-to-do-lists. Not quite as poetic but ages more realistic considering it never even rains in April here in the desert. Anyway, the creative/artist/design micro-business community just got a great kick in the pants by the brilliant Jena of Modish and Modish Biz Tips [...]

Yes, it’s true. Finally Paper Mango is offering wedding invitations through the Etsy store! My primary goal in diving into the wedding invitation world was to make creative and well-designed wedding invitations at an affordable price.

I know it’s only March, but like Mom always said, “The early bird gets the worm”. So I’m trying to get a head start on Mother’s Day card designs. Here’s the first of many, already available at the Etsy store! We’re all eternally indebted to our moms and it would take us a life time [...]

I have been fortunate to recently have been swamped with custom design requests. I don’t know if the variety could have been more vast, but it was a lot of fun and really kept me on my toes. I thought I’d share a few for kicks. If you or someone you know is in need [...]

The other day a friend and I were lamenting the fact that all we find when we go to the mail box are bills or junk mail. Remember the days when you used to get letters? Today there are countless forms of quick and easy communication that we just don’t take the time to sit [...]

I’ve got another Spring design “twofer” for you today. Both are very different in their intent, theme and use of color, but the one thing that brings them together is, fun! Both cards just ooze with a sense of fun and inspire me to get out from behind this computer and go enjoy life. You [...]
