the unexpected gifts...:-) We run into this every year: little things we want to gift, unexpectedly... This year there's the now & then UPS backup driver, neighbors who already told us to keep an eye out for a holiday party invite & the giant St. Bernard next door who regularly exchanges barks with Yoshi... There are so many reasons to send along a card or a little something extra to people this time of year - to say thank you, we're thinking of you, or hang in there... the tricky thing is...

one more flock of crows (but that's it...:-)) Every time Fia creates a new flock of crows, she vows THAT WILL BE IT for a while. Seriously. No. Kidding. Except after this last batch, she had a sneaking suspicion that she'd somehow lost a pile of blocks that she set aside in a safe place... Of course, three days after we sent out the first flock (which disappeared rather quickly...), she found that pile of blocks she'd ever-so-safely set aside. Which means we have one more flock. Just in time...

gifts for new parents & babies... the cotton muslin baby wrap. oh my...:-) A week ago, we announced a collaboration with a wonderful group in the UK, From Babies With Love...We suspect you may not know about them. But they're definitely someone worth adding to your store, if baby gifts & young parents are one of your niches. Since 2013, they have been up to Very Big Things. (Which is why we said YES immediately to designing a collection for them): ...at From Babies with Love, we do things...

gladness for every little one...:-) the cotton muslin baby wrap. oh my...:-) You know how last week, we were telling you about People We Met & Instantly Knew We Wanted To Work With? That's exactly what happened with From Babies With Love, a wonderful group of people in the UK...We suspect you may not know about them. Today we'd like to change that. Since they've been up to A Very Big Thing since 2013: ...at From Babies with Love, we do things differently. Every penny of profit from our...

oops. we messed up. let's just give you the store section with the corrected links... We love shopping local - which is why we're always honored when stores want to carry our work... These past few weeks we've been working with them to be sure they're all set for the upcoming holidays - including having calendars on hand when you all walk through their doors. Of course, there are lots of reasons to get out in your neighborhood besides picking up the 2024 calendars. (Which is, of course, A...

the ones you love... the quiet moments care package... This has been a year of meeting people we'd love to work with. Even better, it's been a year of Actually Doing Something About It. HA. When Kai met Jessica & Aaron of Parker Mountain Comfort Wraps at a show, he knew. Immediately. That we could do something together... While you can read their whole story at their site here, the short version is that a while back, Jessica stitched a comfort wrap for her mom during a time of illness. To let...

how about a rally of crows?... Fia preparing for the first crows...:-) OK, we all know the usual term for a flock is a murder of crows. But every gathering we see is more like a rally, or a cheer squad for a little-known sport like curling. Loud, boisterous, enthusiastic & wry all at the same time... That might be why we have such fun when it's time for raw crow blocks here in the studio. Fia starts by gathering up an armful of the blocks we've set aside over the last year & heads to the...

(Sorry about that. We forgot to put the links in that go to the special. See if this works better...) our first ever Super Moon sale...;-) from made-up holiday card pack..:-) We were so hoping for clear skies tonight. Because, as a lot of you already know, it's the last Super Moon of the year. (The moon is a big deal around here...:-)) Which is why it was more than a little disappointing to wake up to a cloudy, rainy day. Kai said, It's a little hard to get fired up when we're not going to be...
