Coaster Roller

My favorite new items from the last year are my coasters! The first were save the dates for this wedding, and since the minimum order of coaster blanks was 1,000 I started playing around with existing designs and wood type. Some of my faves were the drink coasters below, currently out of stock because I pared down for the move, but I’ll print some more soon!

drink coastersThe coasters have been so popular, I’ve since ordered a couple thousand more blanks. The first design I drew specifically for a coaster was this citrus design. I love to have a variety pack on hand for summer entertaining and I think a large quantity of single-color coasters would truly be great as part of a baby or wedding shower theme! They’re available here.

Orange you glad…

If you’re at all interested in design, or fashion, or home décor, or things that are cool, you know that Pantone’s color of the year is Tangerine Tango (that’s orange for all you lay people out there). I guess it took 6 months for it to sink in for me, but last weekend was nothing less than orange-tastic!

Orange seemed the perfect color for a pirate greeting!

Made some more of these (above)… and these just seem right in orange (below)

Been thinking about this card for several months now—orange was the perfect accent—very fall!

Also hailing from Chicago: Epically Epic Soap. Created by Allison, these bars look as beautiful as they smell. Let’s be honest — the best soaps spend most their lives in the dish untouched, so they might as well be beautiful! If pop art and soap making had a love child, these would be it — perfect for a quirky home or to add a little life to a traditional one.
