Cute prints + things from hello jenuine.

I've been coveting these handmade framed hearts by Sarah & Bendrix for a long time. So gorgeous.

I've been working on some new, love-themed cards lately. The first one to come out is this falling for you card. Simple, sweet, and subtle, it's perfect to give on Valentine's Day, or any day.

Exciting news! My friend Angie of noodle 'n thread recently finally opened her first online shop and I couldn't be more happy for the girl. Her shop includes adorable hair and paper accessories that all center around her philosophy of simplicity and light. Very fitting if you ask me. You can learn more about Angie and her work through her web site, also just launched.

So glad to have another friend close to home to share the exciting world of handmade goods with. Way to go, Angie!

Everything in Furze Chan's With Her Animal Poetry shop is so ridiculously adorable. (Also visit her illustration site, and blog.)

Hi y'all. Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend.

As for me (and probably many other Seattleites alike), the most exciting thing that happened this last weekend was the game between the Seahawks and the Saints. I'm usually not one to watch football, but Saturday's game was one of the most exciting sporting events I've ever seen on TV. I was seriously screaming and jumping as Lynch bulldozed his way down the end zone.

Don't know what I'm talking about? Here's what you missed.

And even if you aren't a Seahawks fan, or don't care for football, you have to admit, that touchdown was pretty damn awesome. But if you need more convincing, how about seeing it set to the Super Mario Bros. tune?

Hello there. Hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend. Mine was quite relaxing (I napped a lot!) and somewhat productive, too.

I was able to squeeze in a little shop update over the break. New to my shop are joe & ann matchbook notepads (characters from the wonderful classic, Roman Holiday), and these pretty pencils, which are available for pre-order.

Now that one of the biggest holidays of the year is out of the way, am excited to get through this last week of December and start 2011. Looking forward to new travels (I have my eye on the east coast...during summer...sans blizzards), and new ideas and goals for my budding paper shop.

I am always and forever a notebook/planner type of girl. And Millimeter/Milligram never fails to please.

Hiyoko Imai's tiny paper illustrations are so endearing. Both her Etsy shop + Big Cartel shop are very sweet.

Spotted The Blue Balloon on papernstitch today, and I am completely smitten. So many great things!

Now that Thanksgiving is out of the way, time to start planning for Christmas. How handsome are these In Haus Press cards and tags? Very.
