Ampersand, originally uploaded by greenchairpress.

I’m loving this photo and print by greenchairpress. I greatly admire and respect the craft of letterpress, and I just love this ampersand collage of vintage wood type by greenchairpress. Check their etsy shoppe for more fabulous prints!

So, my shoppe update is taking a little longer than I had planned.  I wanted to take all of my product photos today, but of all days, today was cloudy, windy and rainy most of the day.  I did manage to list three new thank-you card sets. I’m hoping for better weather tomorrow… either that, or I need to make that light box I’ve had on my to-do list for ages.

**I’m also holding a little drawing,  leave a comment (with email address) and I’ll randomly pick 1 (or 2) lucky commenter’s to win a pack of my new thank-you cards.**

SidQuilts::Posh Charmer Bag

I saw this bag while browsing etsy this morning. So cute and it’s reversible. I’m very boring with my bags, and usually carry around a black or brown purse. I love this bright and colorful bag. I like really that there are lots of pockets because, I’m always losing my keys and cell phone in the depths of my bag–which drives my husband bonkers.

so have you jumped on the band wagon by using the plethora of eco-friendly or “green” grocery bags that are out there in the market?? I haven’t, but I think I have a good reason not too. I re-use my bags, every single one. I have a cute little plastic grocery bag holder in my kitchen (that I made in home-ec when I was still in school) and I save each bag that comes into my home. I use these bags to line my smaller trash cans for the bedrooms, office and bathrooms. I also have a toddler still in diapers, so his stinky diapers get wrapped in a plastic bag and thrown away. I also use the bags as padding when mailing out packages. I really would like to use the “green” bags, besides the fact that I’d be going green, there are so many really cute bags out there. And I’d like to have the store clerk at my local grocery store stop telling me to buy the store’s green grocery bag and give me a disapproving look when I decline, every time I go in to make a purchase.

I saw these really cute bags via Creature Comforts last week and loved them. These are really fashionable and they have something for everyone.

Happy Tuesday!

Today’s post is a little late and a little short. I’m still recovering from yesterday. Yesterday was my SIL 26th birthday and we had a little get together at our house. Lots of great food (yummy steak, king crab legs, opihi (Hawaiian for a seawater Limpet–according to Wikipedia), saute mushrooms, baked potato…. My husband and I, made a 6 layer chocolate cake (very reminiscent of PF Changs Chocolate Wall). My little guy and I blew up balloons and hung streamers. I even let my little one stay up way past his bedtime to partake in the festivities. I have all of these great birthday party memories and NO not even one photo! shame on me! so anyways, after all of that birthday partyness (is that a word?), today I’m hanging. I can’t wait to get home (yikes, did I admit I’m blogging at work?) and pawn off my little guy on my husband and take a nap.

So here’s a print I love. It’s called pink fireworks and it’s by makeshiftmodern. I found it via etsy.
