Frances Crafeteria

This one's for the locals! My messy desk is even messier today, as I'm busily crafting more goodies for the Frances Crafeteria! Frances is an awesome boutique in Central Phoenix. If you're in Phoenix on Friday, December 3rd (from 6 to 10 pm) stop by and see me!

Less & More

Lately I have been spending an average of about 9 hours a day at my desk. I'm only slightly complaining, and I am so happy I'm busy with work, but it gets a little lonesome sitting by yourself all day. AND, since I'm living at my desk, it's gotten very messy. Which I hate. Which the hubs can attest to, because I'm constantly nagging him about his endlessly messy office.

I just found Less & More, a lovely shop that offers all kinds of great organization tools. They are so simple and clean, they would add to your desk without making it look cluttered. Gorgeous!

Hello Handmade!

Just announced! Hello Handmade Paperie has just released their 2011 calender, and it's a beauty! I'll let them describe it to you:

"We are so thrilled to be launching our 2011 calendar today, and we wanted to be the first to tell you about it. Featuring the words of Mary Oliver, Shanna Murray's illustrations and Betsy Dunlap's calligraphy, this quiet calendar will make you draw in your breath with it's beauty. This calendar is broken up into seasons, with four separate 7 x 7 panels.

Because we wanted to create something extra special this year, each one is an original. Betsy has penned each and every season with jet black gouache, no two will be exactly the same. We've laid out the seasons so when the bottom two inches are trimmed away, an original 5x7 remains. We love the thought of these quiet, and thoughtful celebrations being kept long after the year has past."

Lovely.
