Handmade Find – Mail Call

April 29, 2010

handmade find vintage mail

Today’s Handmade Finds are from Etsy shop Cutie Pie Company. This delightful shop features fun items like the above envelopes made out of vintage maps. Included in their stationery packages are vintage stamps that can be used on your letters. I know there has been a lot of talk over the years about how the art of letter writing has been lost – replaced by emails and facebook… I agree that it’s not only nice to send a letter the old fashioned way – I also think it’s nice how these types of things take you away from the computer. Refreshing, really! It’s sunny here so I think I’ll be off to run some errands and to do just that.

Easter Greetings

easter cards - etsy

Easter’s just around the corner! Maybe you have a niece or nephew or friend who would appreciate an Easter card? I found a couple cute ones on Etsy that I wanted to share.

1). Card on Left – Vintage Paper Parade 2). Card on Right – Monkey Mind Design

On a side note – hope everyone had a great weekend! We had a sunny Saturday, which meant time on the seawall with my wonderful husband. So happy he’s back – after a week out of town for work. We had some showings of our apartment (it’s up for sale), and so far so good – some definite interest. Could be an interesting week!

Check out her shop for playful party invitations, personalized note cards, and more. We’re glad to see that Very Inviting ships to the US, Canada as well as internationally!

my little buffalo – portland local

February 11, 2010

my little buffalo

It was very fun to meet the talented Portland illustrator, Lisa, of My Little Buffalo online last week. I was instantly drawn to her whimsical style, and the fun items available in her shop. I lived outside of Portland until I was ten – so it’s always a treat to connect with someone from there! Not only does Lisa have an Etsy shop here she also designs custom stationery and invitations.

As I worked on this post, I started to wonder where the super cute name My Little Buffalo came from? I hope Lisa will stop by today and let us know!
