unruly things

I have finally gotten everything together for my shop. after lots of going back and forth with how I wanted everything to look, the perfectionist in me finally got everything set. I couldn’t decide what colors to print my cards in, but ultimately, I wanted them to be a reflection of me and my design style. always being a fan of neutral colors, I decided to pick the prettiest grays and neutral colors. so here they are! my first set of note cards.

I’ve always been in love with wildflowers. tiny flowers, long stems. big petals, bright colors. the delightful way they pop up unexpectedly. they’re bright, cheery, and a bit unpredictable. all the designs are printed on 100% recycled card stock, printed with transparent inks, and are available in either bright white or natural white. for a full description, go to my etsy page.

thanks for all the support up to here. it’s really been helpful and encouraging! I hope you love them! look to see more from me in the next couple of months. and please, if you feel so inclined, pass on the word!!

I love these sea life printed cards from Sub Studio. the colors pop so perfectly against the bright white cards.

Holly, from decor8, just finished up the Amy Butler mood board contest and posted the winners. she added a little bonus question at the bottom of the post as a give away for 5 more patterns. the questions was, “what makes a house a home”. and here’s what I think.
personal touches.
art you’ve created.
photographs you’ve taken.
antiques that have been in your family for years.
quirky things your mother gave you for housewarming gifts.
the smell of fresh baked brownies.
the sound of laughter.
things that remind you of your childhood.
warm blankets.
big open windows.
and of course, the love inside of it.

happy friday everyone.
