A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I had a last minute opportunity to go away for the weekend. There’s nothing like quickly throwing things in a duffle bag, loading up the dogs and hitting the road. Our getaway was extra sweet since we’ve been working non-stop for months and we had just celebrated [...]

My talented husband, Will, recently designed some really cool display trees for a store in Los Angeles called Freehand. The trees are made from plywood and have wood pegs to display ornaments. Will is no stranger to creating unique holiday decorations. Last year he made me this amazing wreath. Pretty awesome for someone who says [...]

This weekend I’m meeting up with some friends for a celebratory brunch. Since I’m always looking for a reason to make a little crafty project, I thought it would be fun to make some straws for the little kids that will be there. 

Looking around etsy, I found some sellers who have new, vintage stock of [...]

As an extra bonus today, we have a free download for you! Inspired by the vintage “Party Pets” decoration set, we’ve created a Mod Frog party hat (or is it a Caper Cap?) just for you! The hat coordinates with our mod animals party invite. In the photo, we made some party goodie [...]
