New Valentine Hankies

Announcing my new handkerchiefs just in time for Valentine's Day!

I like you. Do you Like Me? Handkerchief
[]yes []no []maybe

What more can you ask your crush... your sweety-pie... your raison d'être? Bring on this Valentines day with a secret note to pass along to your very own main squeeze.


Pink Diamonds Hankies - Diamonds are a girls best friend... This pinky girly diamond pattern is just dreamy for your lady this Valentine's day!


Turquoise Diamonds Hankie - Diamonds are forever and this dreamy diamond pattern is inspired by what Pantone chose as the color for 2010... Turquoise! Great gift for your designer-friend for Valentine's Day.


The Smooches Handkerchief is one of my classics! With kissy prints all over, your love-muffin won't be able to resist it! It's soooo smoocherific!

Mix and Match!

I have this vision for the future on my dishware. I mean right now it's pretty minimal and white and yes... ikea. But i have this picture of the most perfect version of my future place settings.

It all started when i saw the movie "Rachel Getting Married". There's this scene in the kitchen which is pretty intense. Now don't watch it for the acting... just look for their plates. The family in this movie had amazing eclectic taste and really knew how to mix and match in the right way. Their dishes were all different. Not one of them matched the other. This blew my mind...

Of course... Why pick only one kind of plate for your kitchen. There are so many pretty designs to choose from so why only pick one!

So 2010 is all about a new mission. Start to build my cutesy-wootsey, mix-and-match, vintage-meets-contemporary dishware! Frank treated me to these amazing "paint by number" inspired plates from Anthropologie last christmas. I think I'll be driving out to some fun antique stores this weekend to add some new pieces to the collection! I'm feeling excitement of the scouring... the collecting... the adventure in dishware!

Happy January!

I'm back! Finally back to blogging for 2010... and what a great year it's going to be. I've started sewing up a storm and working on new and exciting goodies for the spring!

So far the highlights of 2010 include:
1) My first time participating in the One of a Kind Show... March 30-April 4...
2) Large To Do lists plastered all over my studio walls! 2010 is starting off so organized!
3) The last season of LOST!!! So excited to escape to that mysterious island...
4) New Packaging... I'm thinking about revamping my packaging.
5) Some new products with designs inspired by hot dogs, ketchup, mustard, and relish... i'm not sure what it's going to be but it will be fabulous!
6) New "SALE 50% OFF" section in my Etsy Shop! Comes by for some cheap and cheerful buys!

Happy 2010! Another year of possibilities! What will happen!
