Happy Weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! Today I’m super excited to share something that has been in the works for the past few weeks! I’ve been an avid eBay user for years, and it’s still where I find most of my props. So I was beyond thrilled when they asked me to contribute a few expert guides and curate some shopping collections! I’ll be sharing a new guide and corresponding collection (or two) each week â€“ and my first guide is all about late summer cocktails! You can check it out right here along with my collections of super cute cocktail picks straws and stir sticks and home bar essentials! But in the meantime…

Quick Pick: The Good Twin Foil Cards + Enamel Pins

OMG. These new enamel pins and foil cards from The Good Twin are just SO good! Let’s talk about the pins first. Katie has a few new additions to her fabulous Pin + Post series, including a fun update on the classic best friends necklace and an eyeball pin (!!), along with four brand new city pins â€“ LA, San Francisco, Portland, and New York! Katie promises to add new cities soon, and I’m planning to be the first in line for a DC pin!

Okay, now the cards! The new Pop Culture Couples series includes six cards, each with a tribute to Katie’s favorite lovers and friends from movies and television. The cards are printed on colored paper from French’s Pop Tone line and feature three different types of foil throughout the six cards. So fun!!

The new cards and pins are available over at The Good Twin â€“ and retailers, you can check them out in person this weekend at the Crow & Canary booth (7614) at NYNOW!
