New Cards!
Cheerful Colors & Mini Envelopes & Tiny Ribbons— OH MY HAPPINESS!
I’m so tickled that the smashingly talented Christina Williams created these little lovelies for me. Aren’t they cheerful? I met Christina via Etsy almost four years ago?! She is a design superstar and all-around amazing person. You should see the Christmas cards she sends out every year. I really think she captured ’my’ style here. THANK you so very much Christina!

The Paris
I hope you all had a SMASHING FORTH!!! I had a festive little post all planned out for YOU and couldn’t find one free moment to sit down at the computer!
We’ve been splashing, frolicking in the sunshine and doing all that CRAZY-FUN-SUMMERTIME stuff!
If you are local you’ve gotta take a trip to The Paris in downtown Niles. They serve lunch in VINTAGE LUNCH BOXES!
