In Good Company: Elisabeth Bentz

If you spend any time at all on etsy than you've probably had the pleasure of seeing the textile designs of Elisabeth Bentz already.  Elisabeth transforms ordinary linen fabric into unique pieces of useable art and I adore her simple yet lovely aesthetic.  I've bookmarked her shop as a perfect go-to source for special holiday gifts and more.  Perhaps you might like to do the same.  xox Ez

One Good Thing: susyjack* 2010 Deluxe Wall Calendar

I just spotted Susy's new 2010 Deluxe Wall Calendar (pre-order) the other day and was instantly smitten.  The colors and motifs she's used this season are perfection...and as each month passes, you could easly just snip off the numbered section and continue to hang each page as a piece art!  Love it!  For ordering and to see more of Susy's work, head on over to SusyJack*

Free Printable Apple Note Flats

It's almost the end of the school year and inevitably this means parents everywhere are scurrying around in a desperate search for an affordable gift to give their child(rens) teacher(s).  Coffee mug? Potted plant?... might I suggest these free adorable little Apple Note Flats that I made for you all to download and enjoy.  : )

Of course these aren't only meant as teacher gifts... they are for everyone!  The penmanship grid at the bottom enables you to customize the cards by writing in a name or words that you want.  You could also leave them blank and allow the recipient to add in their own text.  I'm having my daughter write her teacher's name on a set, then we'll tie it up with some pretty envelopes, and bada-bing we're done!

  • Download the Free Cute Apple Note Flats (prints 4 to a sheet - 2 of each color)
  • Print onto heavy-weight cardstock with a color printer
  • Cut along the outer lines
  • Customize (optional)

If you download these I'd absolutely love to hear your feedback on the design and the creative ways you plan on using them!

*The annoying technical stuff:  Please remember that this and all my freebies are for personal non-commercial use only.  That means that you can print and use them for yourself or give them as a gift to a friend or loved one, but they shouldn't be sold or redistributed in any other way.  If you'd like to share this project with your blog readers, please link directly to this post.  Thanks so much for your support!  Enjoy!  xox  Ez

1 + 1 = A Simple Gift 2 Give

Try this little idea for Mother's Day or the next time you need a quick gift for your child's teacher, your grandmother, secretary, etc.

1. Use this easy Tissue Paper Flower tutorial from Martha Stewart - adapt the pattern size and colors to compliment your mug.
2. Pick up an artsy coffee mug such as this Lines & Circles Mug from GoodShapeDesign, fill it with tissue paper flowers... and you're done!  Cute, right!

Over the weekend you might like to take a moment to browse through some of the amazing and inspirational photos found on flickr.
These are a few of my recent personal favorites.  Follow the links to view the full sized images and see more from each artist.

Festive...

I just stumbled across this Tinsel Tape from ATYPYK and think it's brilliant!
Now all those plain brown packages you'll be sending full of gifts can look just as great on the outside as they do on the inside!  Or... use this in place of ribbon and bows on your wrapped gifts this upcoming holiday season... simple and festive!
