Hey y'all!

I've had all manner of nice things happen in the past few weeks so I figure I ought to pass a little of it on -- and it has been a while since I've given you something to play with.. so here's what I made you!









There are two PDFs:
- one with 2 sheets of milk-on-graph writing paper (approximately 5"x7"), and
- one with a milk-on-graph envelope template (approximately 3.5"x5")

..the writing paper fits perfectly in the envelope once it's folded, and the envelope has a white label space already on it, ready for you to fill in!

download the writing paper here
download the envelope template here


the only rule is that you use it for personal use only.. print it out as many times as you want, give it as a gift, whatever, just don't sell it or steal it, plz.


I think milk cartons are pretty freaking cute, btw.

ENJOY!!!

Today is my big sister's birthday!! She is my best friend and my best bird and my best partner in crime..


She's in DC and I'm in England -- I miss her so so much, and really wish I could give her a hug and a present and go to her party and sing her happy birthday (which always made her cry when we were little-- we had to sing 'zippety doo dah' instead)




I love you, Tisa, have a freaking dope day!

Today is Justin's birthday! He's celebrating by taking a nap right now and I'm staring lovingly at my wrapping job on his presents.



I got him a bunch of really cool stuff ( 4/5 presents handmade, thank you very much! ).. I wish he'd wake up so  he could open them!

Last night while I was on the phone with my sister ( I miss America! ) I came up with this new product for my shop! I really like it

When I got contacted via etsy in September about having my "HUSH" Note Set printed in the Winter Issue of Vogue Knitting, I was really really excited.

&now that the issue is out (pick up a copy! it's an awesome magazine even without my note cards in it, ha) I'm really really excited all over again! I just got my comp copy yesterday and had to share immediately! 








!!!!!!!!!!!
It's totally made my month!!!

I've had this little obsession with vintage mailboxes brewing inside me for a few months, it's one of those things I am dying to collect and yet I haven't gotten any further than oohing and aahing over etsy listings..


{ via flickr }

which is pretty much what I was just doing, ha..

check these puppies out -- they're not even terribly pricey! ( new new new years resolution : stop being lazy! shell out for a dang mailbox! )




1. Mid-Century Modern Mailbox - Austin Modern - $45
2. Vintage Mailbox - Mareo - $21
3. Vintage Brass Mailbox - storybook charm - $19
4. French Vintage Metal Mailbox - Just Me, Justine - $19.99
5. Box of Envy - Els treasures - $42



JUST THINK of the organization possibilities! I'd like to hang them all up on an office wall next to each other.. maybe to organize mail (duh) or paperwork for different jobs..

sigh.

So! The snow is finally melting here in Cambridge, and thank the lawdy lawdy cause boy am I tired of almost-falling down... (scary and embarrassing!)

Today I got my bangs cut for free at Aveda. I just walked in and asked the stylist to trim them. Nice salons never charge for that. Which is awesome, because I love free services and also because I'm righteously terrible at cutting my own bangs.



Also, starting.. um.. today (ha) I'm documenting what I wear each day. I don't have any really artistic reason, I just want an easy project that I can add to everyday. I'll make a little book: "Vanity Pants" or something.


I really like these new pants I got which are comprised mainly of holes but also with some black thread in between. They're neat cause I can wear any color tights underneath and they look totally different!
Also, I looooooove the brogues that Justin got me for XMAS! Totally awesome gift!



my favorite rings. GET IT? The tambourine is A RING. &the ring is A RING! mmmyeah.

I recorded some music for a new project today. I'm pretty excited about it. Maybe I will share? I'm kinda shy sharing music with you all.

Of course, say the word and it shall be done! I've got a band for every genre!

Now I'm off to (hopefully) make some crafty stuff. Lately I've been getting so overwhelmed with great supplies I don't even know what to create with them. Anyone else relate to this?

What are y'all makin?
