Bring the garden indoors!

A beautiful gift that keeps giving as it grows!

 Reluctantly, we move back inside after this amazing Seattle summer!  I truly love it when I can give a gift that prolongs the feeling of sunny days, past... and to come!  We just received these herbs  {basil, mint, and oregano} beautifully packaged in re-useable bamboo pots.  Perfect for gifting, they come with the promise of a lovely plant and tasty meals throughout the season!  $21.95 each

This lovely glass terrarium is made from an "upcycled" wine bottle!  Inside, you'll find directions, special soil and all you'll need to bring the variety of mosses to life.  Sits beautifully on it's bamboo base to make perfect desktop decor for autumn and winter!  $38.95 each

Getting ready for fall

One of my favorite things about fall has always been picking out a new lunch bag and umbrella!  These new "Vinbrellas" will surely cheer us up when the weather wants to bring us down.  These compact umbrellas fit into cases that look like mini wine bottles!  Also, we just received a fresh supply of washable, lunch bags and sandwich "lunch skins".  Mix or match the delightful graphic designs.  They all pop in the top shelf of the dish washer to keep them fresh and clean all year long!

Feeling crafty?

If these longer, late summer nights are making you feel crafty, we have just the thing for you!  Create your own gift tags, greeting cards or just embellish envelopes or notes with these new stamp sets from Yellow Owl Workshops.  We love the simple, hand-cut designs, packaged to work together!

Fresh, new, Darling

DARLING, the art of being a woman
New, inspiring, delightful...a perfect fit for Paper Delights!  This quarterly makes me smile, over and over again.  One look at the cover and you'll be intrigued, open it up and you'll be hooked!  First of all, nice paper, beautiful photos and articles that engage women in so many ways...entertaining, travel, careers, personal growth, business, recipes, style... Truly indulgent summer reading - don't miss out!

Pretty pattern pens

Five pretty patterns adorn these fine-tip black ink ball point pens.  We like to tie them onto a box of notecards or a tablet to finish off a small gift.  Only $4.50 each, they also look pretty inside your own handbag!

Summer distractions...

We love summer!  As you see here we had plenty of entertainment for our camping trip on Whidbey Island!  Hikes, beach forts, campers' stew, jiffy pop, s'mores, campfire stories, flashlight tag... and plenty of dirt!  We got it all into our overnight camp-out!  Now, back to fun with paper...
