DIY Paint Chip Swatch Boxes

The humble yet versatile paint chip strikes again, and I love it! Jessica from How About Orange shows us how to make super cute little boxes out of paint swatches, and the possible color combos are pretty much endless. Tuck small gifts or favors into these little cuties for a package that’s fun and sure to be remembered.

Have a great weekend, everyone, and here’s hoping for a bit of a cool off for all of us who have been dealing with sweltering heat for most of the week. It’s a cruel, cruel summer … </Bananarama>

Vintage Postage Stamp Postcards

Constellation & Co.’s new collection of letterpress printed postcards is a vintage stamp lover’s dream. The cards feature a gallery of uncancelled vintage stamps on one side and plenty of space to write your message on the other side. These postcards may be ready to mail, but I think I’d have a hard time actually sending one. I’d rather collect them all, frame them, and hang them on the wall!
