Tell Your Family's Tale

I first discovered Good Stock last year in the now deceased Child magazine. Each of their handcrafted, personalized books features your family tree, vignettes about family members, and vintage illustrations, and to top it off, you can choose your choice of silhouettes on the cover.

What a Beauty!

Last time we were in NYC, one place I had to visit was Fishs Eddy. And we certainly didn't leave empty handed. Take a look at these great glasses on sale now:

A value at just $1.98, it's true that Beauty doesn't have to cost a lot.

Celebrate Mom

If you're in the Portland area this Saturday, May 12th, please make plans to join us at the Mother's Day Market from 10 am - 2 pm. Milagros and about 20 businesses will turn the lobby of the Hollywood Theatre into a fun-filled bazaar. Other vendors including Little Piggy Prints (hey, that's us too!), Periponchos, Zoom Baby Gear, Global Sistergoods, 3 Earth Design, Miranda Zine, a bake sale organized by Mother Tree Doulas, Izze will be giving away soda, and much more! Admission is free. Hope to see you there.

Pink Power Gone Wild

We're thrilled to be a part of this exciting event taking place on May 3rd here in Vancouver. Pink Power is about compassionate women from throughout southwest Washington coming together to support health care initiatives for women including building a new Breast Care Center at Southwest Medical Center.

As of this point, tickets are sold out, but you can still make a donation here. We are. In fact, 10% of all our sales during the month of May will be donated to this cause.

If you're in attendance, please stop by our booth at the Crave Party, say hi, and take a look at our new products.

Joyful Living

I discovered Pakhuis Oost ealier today via one of our favorite daily reads, Print and Pattern. Take a look at some of their products:

Blackboards

Pillows

Plates

I'm a sucker for silhouettes, deer, and floral prints individually. Put them together and I'm ready to buy a plane ticket to Belgium to buy some for myself.

They call themselves "the home of joyful living" and I'm sure you'll agree after taking a look at the rest of their products.

paper+cup

These cards are from paper+cup, a Brooklyn couple dedicated to creating products that are both functional and fun to use. They've designed some wonderful letterpressed silhouette notecards.

I love these so much. The exuberance of the kids makes them almost jump off the page. They're letterpressed on bright white paper and come with white envelopes. They're sold individually for $4.50 or sold as a box of 10 for $20, including 2 birthday cards.

These Silogirl notecards are gorgeous. The images are letterpressed on bright white paper and come with colored envelopes to match the Silogirl. They can be bought individually for $4.50 or $20 for a box of 10 assorted cards.

paper+cup is set to introduce a line of home and office decor products later this month. I can't wait.
