These are little thank you cards that I made for Avery's birthday last year and this year. The last image (taken with my iPhone, btw) was how we packaged them up this year before giving out--with a sprinkle of Papabubble candy! The thank you cards were inspired by this blog entry on inchmark.
These are some simple favors I made for the last little celebration of Avery's 2nd birthday. (Btw, this photo was snapped with my iPhone because I was in a hurry.) I punched holes in nut & party cups, tied and knotted grosgrain ribbon on each side to make a handle, filled each cup with some Valentine's Starbursts and a stretchy dinosaur from Target and voilà! Favors!
Check out the genius birthday party my cousin Amy threw for her son Logan! It was Nightmare Before Christmas-themed and oozed tons of Halloween inspiration! I loved the vast array of spooky treats (the Children of the Kettlecorn and Zombie Fingers were among my faves) and the amazing details and time put into the eerily delightful decor and styling of the party. The kids enjoyed decorating cookies, making aprons and painting Halloween-themed photo holders!
Soopsori is a collection of handmade toys that exude beauty and simplicity. The toys are made of wood and are finished with linseed oil, making them environmentally-friendly and child-safe.
We picked up Soopsori’s Wooden Push Car and Wooden Rattle Block set at Emmo Home, a local design store.
The artist behind Soopsori is Lee Chul Soo. According to Soopsori’s website, “Living with his wife on a small farm in rural Korea, Lee Chul Soo grows most of his own food, writes poetry, and makes his prints by hand in the traditional way.” We love to see artists working in traditional methods. These are well-crafted toys that will definitely be passed on to future generations in our family!
This is a gift for a friend's new baby girl that I wrapped using Cotton Candy Divine Twine and Paper Source's Blossom Dots wrapping paper. Can't wait until she opens it!
