I'm the first to admit that it can be easy to substitute email for proper stationary thank you cards, announcements, and invitations. But there is nothing like the feel of quality card stock and the grooves of a quality letterpress. That…
It's been a long time since I checked in with the Paris Print Shop (formerly known as Little Brown Pen), and with Valentine's Day coming up , it reminded me to stop by their Etsy Shop and see what they're up to. I'm so glad I did. I thin…

If you are lucky enough to not only be a mom, but still have a mom around to guide you through your turbulent mothering moments (or in my mom's case, laugh at me), then you probably have witnessed the power that the perfect picture of yo…
Growing up, we had a big framed photo of my family that was a Mother's Day gift for my mom. How I hated that photo only five years later, with our embarrassing clothing, my poofy hair style, the cheesy backdrop. It isn't something I plan…
I'm on a bit of a framing kick lately; instead of buying new artwork we're trying to make use of the photos and odd bits of ephemera we have around to liven up some of the blank walls. So when I discovered the gorgeous handmade frames fr…
