Do Not Bend Printable Labels
A Pretty Alternative to The Post Office's Stamp!
I put a lot of love into all of my products, and a good chunk of them are heading out to brides for one of the biggest days of their entire life! They cannot arrive bent in half, so marking them with special "DO NOT BEND" instructions lets me sleep a little better at night (well, that and cheap wine).
One of the perks when ordering from a small creative business is the packaging. We want clients to be (almost) as excited when they see the packaging as they are when they see what's inside! A creative entrepreneur's mantra: It's not done until it's overdone... and tied with a bow. Can I get an amen? But, the dull red "DO NOT BEND" stamp from the post office made me throw up in my mouth a little. Hey Mr. Postman, could you at least upgrade to a great shade of Bethenny Frankel Red? All that hard work and we're supposed to top off our packages like that?! Nope.
To put an end to the misery (overdramatic??) I designed my own version with a pretty twist. When I posted this photo on my insta I got a lot of DM's from creatives, who also threw up in their mouths every time the postal clerk slapped those three smeared words all over their packaging.
If you are one of those people, gag no more: Click here and I'll send the printable version straight to your inbox, fo' free!
I send most of my labels off to a professional printer, but these are so easy, I just send some glossy label paper through my inkjet and then slice them apart with a paper trimmer. Peel, stick, repeat! Voilà!

Our Kitchen Makeover
The transformation of our kitchen and a pretty little printable for you!
As we look forward to making some changes to our new home, I have been perusing pinterest for kitchen inspiration like it's my job. The endless beautiful white kitchen photos have me feeling all sorts of nostalgia over the 1940's home we renovated and sold a year ago. After a lotta' hard work (thanks hubby and dear father-in-law) that old house became everything I knew it could be from the moment I first set eyes on it. I thought it would be fun to share some before and afters of the makeover (and give you some hand lettered art for your own kitchen)!
I loved that house from the very start. There was so much potential within those old, plaster walls. I just knew that it could be amazing!
Little by little, the transformation throughout the entire house came together, but my favorite room was always the kitchen. After all, it had great bones, not to mention shaker cabinets and a gigantic island. Man, I miss that island...
Saying goodbye to this ol' house was not easy! I still miss this view....
