I had some wonderful time in the studio today, creating some Christmas samples! I may have sneaked a little bit of Christmas music…shhh
Here are some pictures of what I made! Button cards and journals! What do you think?
I just love kittens. I feel better when I see them. They make me laugh and smile. Here are some pretty adorable kittens in black and white from Etsy:
(1) Cat Paws by Long World Photography, (2) Farley Kitten by Just A Moment, (3) Vulnerable by Marianna Mills, (4) Kitten Photograph by Eireanneilis, (5) Pricila Kitten by Photo Reverie
I love fall. I love the colors, the scarves, the apple cider and pumpkin pie. This fall season, my dad and I decided to collaborate a bit on some fall journals. He made the journals, and then I stamped them! I even carved a few of the stamps I used 🙂
We’ve got them in all different sizes: tiny, little, medium…
Check them out at our shop: http://www.ordinaryartists.etsy.com
Also, if you want to love pumpkin season just a little bit more, here’s an adorable video.
I love mountain inspired jewelry and decor.

I went to my favorite little thrift store today, and bought a whole box of vintage books! You can probably guess what’s coming…vintage book collections! I have a grey set, a blue set, and a green set!
Here’s a first look at the BOX I carried them home in:
Whew, I had the flu this last week and seriously neglected blogging! So I’m finally feeling better, and I’ve put up some new items on our etsy shop!
Here are some pictures:
“Dancing Book” Journal Sketchbook
One of our items was featured in 4 treasuries today. FOUR! You should check them out. They are all different and fun in their own way.
Take a guess on which item is ours! (hint: it won’t be very hard…)
I’m kind of into neon right now. It is really growing on me.

I’m loving the decorating-with-vintage-books trend that’s going around right now. I kept seeing all these beautiful, color-coordinated vintage collections around etsy, and I wanted to be a part of it! So I went to our cute little thrift store in Newberg (fondly called the Old Lady Thrift Store, because it it run by a group of wonderful, spunky elderly women) and had so much fun picking out these six books. Aqua Blue-Green is my favorite color, and while they are waiting to be sold, they are sitting nicely on a shelf in my living room!
Fun note: One of the books has beautiful pictures of fashion from the 40s, and another one has many, many sewing tutorials from the 30s!
