After turning off my alarm in the morning the first thing I do is check Pinterest on my phone…while still laying in bed. I’m a total pin-head. Is anyone else suffering from this affliction? If so, the North Carolina Museum of Art is hosting a Pinterest-themed meetup next Thursday evening! Basically it will be a [...]
Wit & Whistle Mother’s Day cards are in the shop! My new favorite is this perfectly sweet ranunculus design I made with gouache and pen and ink. It’s printed on paper embedded with wildflower seeds so your mom can plant it. Just tell her it’s a DIY bouquet. All the old favorites are back too, and [...]
Here are a few photos from the West Elm + Etsy pop up shop last weekend. Daniel and I had a great time, and I think my favorite part was getting to meet a bunch of talented Etsy sellers in the flesh. I don’t normally get that sense of camaraderie working alone in my studio day [...]
West Elm has invited a bunch of local Etsy sellers (including me!) to set up shop at their Charlotte location on March 31. If you’re in the Charlotte area I hope you can come out and say hello! Just when I thought I couldn’t love West Elm any more. West Elm would like everyone to [...]
Remember last year when I was designing my dad’s latest book for my Twelve by 2012 list? Well, Help! My Daughter’s Getting Married! by John Nichols has been published and is now for sale here at barnesandnoble.com and here at amazon.com! My dad was very involved in the wedding planning process when Daniel and I got married, [...]
I’m going to a friend’s thirtieth birthday celebration tomorrow, so I figured my weekly gouache practice was the perfect time to refine this 30th birthday card idea that has been trapped in my head. It’s my first official gouache design, and it is available in the shop. A lot of my friends have been turning 30 [...]
This time last year author Charlotte Rivers asked me to submit some of my work for her latest book, I Heart Stationery. I sent her some photos, answered a few questions, and then forgot all about it. A few weeks ago I noticed that the book was available for pre-order on Amazon. My copy just [...]
I’m suffering from EFSPTSS—Etsy Featured Seller Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, that is. What a wild ride this past week has been. I expected to be busy, but I certainly didn’t anticipate making over 1,000 sales in a week! Thanks to my amazing mom’s help I’ve been able to keep on top of shipping orders by [...]
Guess what! Right now I’m the featured seller on Etsy! (Squeal!) You can read my featured seller interview and see my studio space right here. I’m thankful, flattered, and trying not to hyperventilate! I think I’m going to be swamped with orders for a bit, so I’ll be away from the blog for a few [...]
New Valentine’s Day goodies are available now! I’m off to spoil my appetite by eating the huge lollipop pictured below. Yum. Oh, and I also added a couple non-Valentine’s items too—a good luck card, the hive note card set, and the chevron note card set.
