danni over at the always delightful oh, hello friend blog, included my advent calendar in her round-up of advent calendars--check it out, perhaps you will be inspired to make one this year.

NBC's ivillage site included our felt shingle tree in their round-up of children's crafts for the holidays.

The MrsSmithExtremeShopper.com site is a round up of deals within Canada compiled by Kah-Mei Smith who you may know as the face behind the rubberstamp company Fontwerks. she too has posted about the felt shingle tree project.

~thank you for sharing the craft projects with your readers~

 

{on a side note-the little Felt Shingle Tree has taken on a life of its own. since I first posted the DIY a year ago, it remains the most popular post on the blog to date. i will be sharing some variations on the tree along with some other holiday inspired crafts beginning the last week of November}

kind, swell folks.

Ez of Creature Comforts

has a lovely interview up over at the Fossil blog + she gave us a lovely little shout out.

{You must bookmark the Fossil blog if you haven't already

--LOTS of interesting tidbits--artist interviews, lovely things to look at, vintage tidbits. I still remember my Fossil watch with its little lift up watch face cover ...I'm probably dating myself given that design element...}

Also the uber talented crafter Cathe Holden of JSIM 

fame mentioned us in an interview she did a while back (I apologize I cannot find the link I had bookmarked). Made me do cartwheels. First time in 15 years. Or maybe the first time ever.

Kelly has great links practically e-v-e-r-y d-a-y on her blog. 

She does this everyday folks. You never know what you might find. Sometimes you find yourself right back here.

evermore, thank you

 

{these swell folks have been so very kind}

 

Elizabeth Williams creates beautiful jewelry--and I truly covet the pieces that I have purchased from her. She has a lovely etsy shop filled with her designs, which I think have a quiet loveliness to them. I just noticed that she is currently running a fantastic special too--for free earrings!

Box Social is a promotor of Western Canadian Artists. I am pretty stoked that Mariko and Catherine are hard at work bringing back the Art Market-yippee! I am hoping to free up a bit of creative time + get myself participating.

A sweet customer has a helpful article over at Project Wedding for the budget savvy bride. She ordered many of the bits + pieces for her boutonnieres from Papier Valise. Just beautiful.

Oh Urbanic.

I LOVE beautiful paper stores. LOVE. I have a weakness for swell cards and lovely gift wrap and cheeky packaging, and stickers and labels and.... I wish Urbanic was close to where I lived. I'll just have to be satisfied visiting their blog .  

 

Perpetual has a feature called Friday Finds. One Friday, we were found. There are also beautiful vintage under-things to be found here. Found by them. Then you can buy them.

Ben Mullins is a graphic designer. He makes ideas happen. That's what I hear. He has a blog too. It's full of creative visual finds. We like Ben. He said he liked us. Or at least he said he liked our labels.

 

Whitney is a reader who leaves comments!  I like that. She creates lovely paper goods--also LOTS of items you can purchase and download. She thought we were a great blog and said so over at Cathe Holden's blog Just Something I Made . It's all one big circle, folks I'm telling you.

 

Disclaimer:

I like you even if you don't leave comments

 

evermore, thank you

If you are not familiar with Uppercase and the blog that goes with, do check it out. We were delighted to be included in one of Janine's regular Type Tuesday features a few weeks ago. She has a gem of a store that I have been lucky enough to visit and she has also just recently launched Uppercase Magazine--which you can subscribe to here.

 

I know I am not alone when I say I like to have some daily oh happy day as part of my routine. Jordan scouts out the most enchanting finds--design, fashion, food, art, oh + there's also fun to be had.

Jordan teaches letterpress as well --a deal of a class, if you ask me.

+ there are still some spots available.

 

I have a love for many things French and have had the pleasure of living in Montreal, but Paris...I have never been. Thank goodness for blogs so that I can live a faux Parisian life vicariously through others. And you can too at Morning by Foley. We were kindly mentioned in a charming blog post and to be compared in even the tiniest way to tombees du camion --how flattering I say.

 

Asya has a lovely blog where she shares some of her process and beautiful photos of her pieces. I really enjoy when an artist shares this part of creating as it gives me a better understanding and appreciation for the end piece. Here are some of those endpieces. Asya shares other tidbits on her blog too. She was kind enough to include us as a tidbit a few weeks ago.

{This photo is not of Asya's pottery. It is a photo of a piece of pottery. But not Asya's}
