photo shoot

I've been meaning to post pics for some time now and am finally getting around to it. Here is our printing studio in our basement. We've added countertops and cabinets since these pictures but these will do for now.

love + toast!

i love this handreme that we just got in today. is is made my margot elena, the same gal who created Lollia. this stuff is unbelievable, and unbelievably cute. with 6 different "flavors" and at $9 ea., it's kind of a no brainer, right?

available in pomme poivre, honey coconut, gin blossom, sugar grapefruit, mandarin tea, and my personal favorite: paper flower!

p.s. thanks linda for bringing me that adorable little stool, works perfect for the testers!

pretzel mania

Last night I had a wave of craftiness come over me. This happens on occasion and last night it was to make these pretzels. I saw them at a party last week and thought to myself: I like those. I actually really like those. They just need some thick natural hemp rope in a nice vintage basket. With a trip to my aunt's house to borrow a double boiler and a quick visit to Kroger and Michaels, I was ready. So I made them into my Grand Opening gift for my brother and sister-in-law, Jon & Stacie, who are opening a kitchen showroom in Noblesville called Indiana Kitchen Company. Their grand opening is this Friday and Saturday. Hopefully I'll see you there!
