The Love Shop.

Who couldn’t use a little inspiration on a daily basis? I like the way The Love Shop reminds us of what really matters when it comes down to it.

Wishing Wall.

I love the idea of the Wishing Wall. I think I’d hang it on the wall afterwards as a feel-good work of art!

Tuck tiny colorful wishes for the happy couple, new baby or proud graduate into this cardboard frame for a memorable keepsake. Or give it to yourself and let it be a time capsule of your hopes and dreams. Includes 500 wish sheets.

Naomi.

I’m loving Naomi Murrell’s sweet little shop, simply called Naomi. It’s filled with fun, bright designs that I can’t get enough of. And I have to say that I also love the way she photographs her pieces – each one is a little study in color!

Win It: Courtney Khail Stationery and Design.

The uber-talented and sweet Courtney Khail emailed me last week to share her line of stationery and invitations and I fell. Hard. I was even more thrilled when she agreed to do a giveaway of the stationery set of your choice!

Courtney Khail Stationery and Design was born when Courtney herself was attempting to choose invitations for her own wedding. Needless to say, nothing sufficed and she took matters into her own hands! Each 100% cotton card combines hand drawn illustrations, printmaking, and watercolor to produce an individual hand painted work of art where no two are exactly the same. I absolutely love that.

So here are the deets. Visit Courtney Khail Stationery and Design, then comment back here with which stationery set you’d like to win and why. The contest will close next Monday, March 30th at noon CST. (This contest is only open to those living in the U.S.) A winner will be chosen randomly once the contest closes. Good luck!

Free Encouragement.

I’m all about spreading the love. Because honestly nothing makes you feel better about yourself and than making someone else’s day. Or even just making them smile.

That’s only one of the reasons I’m digging Free Encouragement postcards, a collaboration between Booooooom and Design for Mankind guaranteed to knock out negativity. Head over to their shop to pick up a set or two and admire the works of collaborating artists like Jen Collins, Gemma Correll and Dennis de Groot! Check out the background story here.
