These letterpress coasters from Sara Ridgley Letterpress would make a perfect housewarming gift, don’t you think? The monograms are upscale, and the green border design is oh so chic. $12.00 for a set of 8.

I’m also loving Sara’s use of unique die cut shapes in many of her invitation, card, and gift tag designs. These baby carriage gift tags are some of my favorites. $4.00 for a set of 6.

Baby Flash Cards by Wee Gallery

April 26, 2007 // kristen // 2 replies

These Baby Flash Cards by Wee Gallery are absolutely adorable. I love the fun, playful illustration style set in black and white. Even if you don’t have a little one around, you could frame the wee works of art to create your own wonderful wall art. You could also turn the flash cards into a cool urban mobile with a nifty stainless steel mobile kit. Ingenious!

Wee Gallery’s Baby Flash Cards are available in three sets: original, sea, and farm (pictured above). $14.95 per set at Sparkability.

ETA: Ooh, it looks like Wee Gallery actually has two additional new sets of flash cards, garden and jungle, available from their site. I must collect them all.

It was love at first sight when I saw this paper flower craft project over at Something Old, Something New, the inspiring wedding blog by Mackenzie Sala of Kenzie Kate. I love the color scheme and all of the different types of paper flowers that she has incorporated into the project. What bride wouldn’t be in her glory over having these paper pomanders at her wedding?

The possibilities are endless with a project like this — Mackenzie has provided a how to and resources to get you started in putting together the beautiful paper pomander, and you can customize the project by using your wedding colors and your flower choices. I’m already married, but I may have to put one of these together just because they’re so pretty.
