We are very excited to tell you about a new book that has just come out called Vintage Craft Workshop. You probably know by now about our love of vintage craft books and magazines. Well, our friend Cathy Callahan, who authored this book, definitely shares that love in a big way. When she approached us [...]

My name is Susie, and I’m a vintage craft book addict. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way (and you probably already knew that about me) we can take a peek into the latest addition to our design library. This McCall’s Make-Your-Own Book is geared towards simple, often kid-friendly projects and [...]

Even with the arrival of daylight savings time, it’s been hard for me to make enough time to work on outdoor projects. I’m dying to get my hands in the dirt, but by the time I get home, make and eat dinner, it’s dark. Last night, I got home even later than normal. I made [...]

With all that crazy paisley pattern going on, I initially missed the gold, curly-q lettering on the cover that says “Cooking Clips”. Even without knowing exactly what it was at [...]

2010 has been a very, very busy year…it just flew by in a blink of an eye. Like many people, we have been working very hard and working long hours. It has been difficult to make time for things outside of the daily routine. We really want 2011 to be different. So five days into [...]

October is probably the busiest month here at our studio. It’s when we ship a huge number of orders out to shops all over the world that stock Rock Scissor Paper products for the holidays. It also happens to be the time of year when all I want to do is bake (and eat!) [...]

I’ve been working on a project for a client that has required me to dive head first into vintage baking and kitchen ephemera. It been so much fun looking through our archives, scouring flea markets and researching online. Here’s a peak into my inspiration boards. Prepare to get happy (and hungry!)
