Party Paper: St. Patrick’s Day

Happy March! Since Easter is late this year, St. Patrick’s Day gets a little more time in the spotlight! Irish or not, it’s fun to embrace the crazy colors of the rainbow and pots of gold for a little bash on March 17th! If you aren’t a fan of wearing green or donning shamrocks, this is the St. Patty’s party for you! —Kelly

Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! I’m back in DC after a whirlwind few days in New York and grateful to be home again with my little family. I’m still catching up from the last few days, so I’m skipping straight to our weekly link round up today. I’m excited to share the rest of the photos from the NYNOW winter market with you next week! But in the meantime…

NYNOW Winter 2014, Part 1

Hello from NYC! I’m still working my way through hundreds of photos (and counting) from the NYNOW winter 2014 market – which I can’t wait to share with you! But in the meantime, I thought I’d give you a quick peek at just a few of the standouts from the show. First up, the amazing handcrafted (and colorful!) kites and quilts from Haptic Lab! The sailing ship kites are just incredible in person, but I’m equally in love with the bright colors and patterns in the signature kites, too!

As you may have seen on Instagram, I’m pretty much dying over the amazing constellation quilt above. It definitely ranks up there as one of the prettiest things I’ve ever seen!

It’s always a delight to see Emily McDowell’s beautiful goods in person, but this time I was especially excited to see her new collections of tote bags, tea towels, and temporary tattoos! So, so, so good.

Quick Pick: Linda & Harriett

It’s a huge understatement to say that I’m a fan of Liz from Linda & Harriett. I’ve admired her wonderful stationery for years, was thrilled to work with her on the invitations for the 2013 Paper Party this past spring, and I love her approach to the creative process. Liz has been quietly working on a new website for the past few months, and it’s finally live! And just in time for the holidays, with a fabulous 2014 calendar, screen printed gift tags, notepads, and more! My favorite item in the new shop? This wonderful seasonal note card box set with 16 total designs – four for each season!

Sophie Style: Fall 2013

After a few unexpected summer-like days, it looks like the cooler weather is here to stay in DC. Wardrobe-wise, the timing is kind of perfect, since Sophie is just now finally growing into 12-month size clothes! For Sophie’s fall wardrobe, I’m finding myself gravitating towards soft grays and metallics with a few bright pops of color.

1. Sweater + gold polka dot leggings from Old Navy; 2. Metallic striped top from Old Navy, neon leggings from Carter’s; 3. The most adorable quilted jacket (with floral lining and hot pink piping) from Mini Boden; 4. Sweater from Old Navy and yellow polka dot corduroys from Baby Gap; 5. Top from Carter’s, navy bow leggings from Baby Gap.
