oh yeah!

My heart went *flutter* when I saw this card on Cathe’s blog!

It’s available at cardstore.com … you can personalize it if you’re lame like that or order as is in all it’s 80′s glory!

And to bring it all home for you … I give you … the theme song from the spinoff of the century {at least in my preteen fantasies} …

so lookie here …

I honestly don’t know what to make of this!  I feel excitement and outrage all at the same time.

A home letterpress machine … really?!?  I’m super curious, that’s for sure.

But as a past stationery shop owner … my heart doesn’t feel right doing this at home.  What about all the designers out there with the real deal?  Working hard on the old-time machines?

Doesn’t this little, do-it-yourself machine cheapen the thrill your finger feels as it fondles that ever-so-gently-kissed indent on the most luxurious of papers?

And yeah … I’m freaky like that.

easy gift idea

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I’m looking for an easy, quick … but cute! gift idea.  Well, I’ve found one and wanted to share.

I think these gift sets are the best!  You can even personalize the stationery.

Some possible gifting recipients … babysitter or daycare, teachers, Sunday school teacher, hair stylist, sister-in-law … maybe even Gammy {my new favorite word for Grandma}.

And if you’ve not seen Nicole’s shop or blog … you best take a look-see!  She’s got the most amazing design ideas on her blog … not to mention some cute photos of her new little, Eleanor.

Enjoy!
