Just Something to Make

I came across this on Just Something I Made the other day and wanted to share it here. It's a "how to" from a book published in the early 1900's.

Etsy Find of the Week

Check out this charming miniature papercut we found at Elsita's Etsy Shop (sadly they are sold out). The attention to detail is just amazing.

To give you an idea of the scale, here are the scissors that she used. 

We love the city of Brotherly Love

Many thanks today to Caroline Tiger for including us in her story on silhouettes in the Philadelphia Inquirer today. Ever since we opened for business, our customers in Pennsylvania have just been the best.

The feature today focused on our wall decals. These unique decals are a great way to decorate your home, apartment or workplace. Perfect for kids, families and pet lovers. We offer nearly different colors in 2 finishes and all the decals can be customized just for your individual needs.

They are easy to apply and actually look painted, but they are easy to remove at any time.

Check out our website for further information.

Sesame Letterpress' Silhouettes

We have long been fans of Sesame Letterpress (we wrote about them here) and were so excited to see a sneak preview their new collection on Design Sponge. They will be debuting it at the upcoming Stationery Show in New York. This collection is comprised of beautiful Victorian era silhouettes filled with a pop of color and pattern derived from vintage security envelope linings. You can see the collection here and you can visit their shop here.

Thanks, Momologie!

What a nice suprise to wake up today and see us featured on Momologie. I found Momologie from a Facebook ad a few months ago and have been a daily reader ever since. You'll get the latest scoop on style, food, home, organizing, holidays, parties and travel. You can subscribe to their daily newsletter here.

As all of you know by now, a devastating 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti on January 12th. At Simply Silhouettes and My First Silhouette, we have pledged to donate 10% of our sales through January 31st to Mercy Corps for their earthquake relief efforts.

Please help us raise money for Mercy Corps' response to the Haiti Earthquake. We've set up a page to make it easy to donate here.

Thank you in advance for your generous support.
