Thinking of you...

From our custom work over the summer...

Crisp white and natural kraft brown cards make our hand-stamped card sets both versatile and classy. Stamped butterflies, dots, and flowers in a variety of styles keep our designs looking playful and unique, while simple greetings lend themselves to several occasions. The color palettes vary from subdued navy blue and tan to bright green and berry and from rich plum and chocolate brown to retro-inspired soft yellow, moss green, and aqua.

Spring spirals...

Our very latest custom creation - a circular t-shirt rug - consists of a multitude of bright shades spinning into an almost perfect spiral. The mixture of blue, purple, pink, green, black, gray, and white turns a simple floorcovering into an eye-covering accent for your kitchen or living room. The thickness of the t-shirts gives your toes a welcome respite from the cold, hard floor! And with the aid of a front-loading washer, the rug also helps reduce the accumulation of indoor allergens - always a plus for those of us with sensitive noses.

Just off the needles...

The newest custom t-shirt rug from our shop! Rich and rustic Americana shades of navy blue, burgundy, and tan blended with bright red, mustard, and sky blue of the nautical palette make this particular creation a unique blending of the two decor styles. The generous size - 25 inches by 40 inches - allows the rug to serve as a comfortable addition to the vanity area of the bath. The thickness of the upcycled t-shirts means no more cold toes while styling your hair in the morning.

Camo and Pink...

Custom ACU Book Tote

This once humble gift bag has undergone a makeover and now functions as a mini book tote. "Mini" in that it has relatively short handles and holds three to four fiction sized books. Nevertheless, this little bag lacks nothing in the style department. Sturdy ACU twill makes up the bag's exterior, while a girly pink double-knit lines the inside. A small interior pocket provides a place to tuck keys or a cellphone, and a larger exterior pocket allows room for a small notebook and a pen or two to tag along. To keep up with the wear-and-tear of daily use, the handles are made from military-style nylon webbing. A custom name tape leaves no doubt as to whose books these are, and a rosy pink vintage button finishes the bag with an extra dash of style. (And of course, there's still room for a bar of dark chocolate, in case of emergencies.)

Pretty in pink...

Today's new items:

Custom gift bags in ACU twill with a variety of pinks for the lining. Very girlish and fun! And a lovely way to wrap a special bridesmaid or birthday gift, for starters. The velcro tape provides a place to add the recipient's name for further personalizing the present.

What do they hold? Well, today we photographed our little bags with the following:

Books! (The Tahn Trilogy by L.A. Kelly)

More books! (The Inheritance Series by Lynn Morris & Gilbert Morris)

Jane Austen novels and BBC's Emma (2009).

Three great books, and two fantastic CDs (Aaron Shust and Francesa Battistelli).
