Julie from Studio Olivine, who recently purchased the Wings calendar at Ecru, sent me photos of what she did with her calendar. I love it! The birds look fantastic on her wall!


The wood is from Plywerk. Calendars are still available! $24 each
Thanks Julie for sharing!

I had to break open my Russell + Hazel 2010 calendar pages today and mark down my first appointment in the new year… while Russell + Hazel is great for clean and simple organization it’s not really something for show especially with my crazy notes and paperclips all over the place. This gorgeous letterpressed calendar from Benjamin Paul in Seattle looks like a piece of art. Perfectly beautiful for setting out on your desk or counter for everyone to see.



Something extra – once the month has passed you can detach the calendar portion and use it as a notecard (the calendar comes with 12 square envelopes to use!) or frame it! Such a great idea!





Weekends are highlighted and Federal Holidays are bold. $24 each

I didn’t discover this little card line it found me and I think it has an amazing story behind it. The students at the Community Transitional School and Gena Biello at Cursive Design teamed together to create these cards. 100% of the proceeds benefit the school. The CTS students illustrate the cards, and work together to decide on the greeting then they analyze the cost of materials and determine sale prices then sell them to local businesses. The students also get to decide where and how to invest the card proceeds. I think it is a great real world lesson in business and it empowers the students to see how they can impact their world.
The designs are so sweet ( I love the pickles!) and they make a difference!







We also have 3 designs for Christmas!

Today I started on the big shift in the store so the Christmas cards and trimmings can go out. Yikes, it feels so early and truly I would have waited another week to make the change but customers are asking….
Lots more about Christmas to come but for today it’s all about Fall!

This seasonal limited edition series of the very popular Field Notes has arrived! Set of 3 with one in burnt red, one in running-board brown and one in harvest moon orange. These little books are perfect to tuck into your pocket or purse where you can keep all your lists, thoughts and sketches handy.

This candle just smells like fall….with a touch of cinnamon.

Feeling crafty – our selection of Green Paper Company cardstock and envelopes are great for making your own cards and invitations.

Give Thanks greeting card from Great Arrow.
