Behind the Scenes of Wren & Chickadee

Hello lovelies!  How was your weekend?  I hope it was everything you were hoping for and more!  One of the things I have been working on lately is getting everything together for my print shop: Wren & Chickadee reopening.  I'm never really satisfied to leave well enough alone (a blessing and a curse), so I've been having fun carving some stamps to give a little extra touch to my outgoing packages.

The interior packaging will stay the same for now (since I really like it, and have a lot of fun recycling my magazines and security envelopes into the little starburst tags).

I thought I was well on my way to having the shop up and running when my printer decided to start printing colors completely wrong (black was coming out neon green - ick), but after some fiddling and a few choice words it decided to cooperate once again.  Thank goodness! 

As long as my printer holds out I'm planning to have everything all set by Wednesday of this week.  I hope you'll come by and check out some of the new prints I'll be adding along with all the standard favorites.  See you then!  Enjoy the rest of your day.  xo Ez

UPDATE: You can now find a detailed DIY for these tag-shaped stamps right here.

Fancy This: Art as Life

I am new to the wonderful creative world of Debee Campos and her blog Art as Life, but it only took me a moment on her site to become a huge fan.

A browse through her flickr albums offers countless inspiring images and imaginative project ideas.  If all that isn't enough, then pop over to her etsy shop: Belladrummer where she sells pretty little bits and bobbles to trim gifts and more.  Enjoy!  xo Ez

Etsy Finds & Faves: Picnic Season

Hello lovelies!  It's Friday at last!  Do you have plans for the weekend?  It looks like there will be some housework for me to catch up on, during which I'll probably be wishing that I could spend all day having a leisurely picnic at the park instead.  Unfortunately it's too hot outside for a picnic around here, and I'm hoping for a cool spell soon so that I can indulge in a little outdoor fun.  In the meantime these finds from etsy are helping to keep the dream alive.  Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend (maybe you'll get to enjoy a little picnic of your own)!  Hope to see you again next week.  xo Ez
