Stapler of the Week

Who knew that a stapler could be beautiful? And that there is such a thing as a "stapler enthusiast"?? (Well, besides Milton and his red Swingline of course :)

Le Whif

This, my friends, is chocolate. But you don't chew it - you breathe it.

Yes, I am serious.

The little gizmo works like an inhaler, so you can still have the taste of chocolate without all the calories. I don’t know about you, but I’d miss the magic that happens when you break through each distinct and wonderful layer of a peanut m&m. They’ve got coffee too, if you’re brave enough to try it.

I can hear it now, “Officer, it’s just chocolate – I swear!”

Find it here.

Christmas In Cowtown

The countdown has begun! We are so excited about our first show of the holiday season next week in Fort Worth. We've been working non-stop to prepare and are excited about our new booth set-up and lots of new products. We'd love for you to come see us! Click here for more info.

'bout time

  
An outlet with USB charge ports - I can almost hear the "hallelujahs" from my fellow iPhone junkies. Pre-order here. More great info on the product here.

Beautiful Bookbinding

Check out these beautiful books hand bound by Kate Bowles on Folksy. She recycles shoe leather samples and vintage materials to make these lovely books. I love the exposed stitching on the spines!

Storing kiddie art

I can't wait for the day when Jack brings home his first finger painting from kindergarten - and again the next day, and the day after that... I hear the artwork can get a bit overwhelming and that it's hard to keep them all. I have a feeling I'm going to have a hard time letting any of it go, so I was happy to find this idea from Martha Stewart for storing stacks of kiddie art rolled up in mailing tubes labeled by name/grade. Perfect!

For those of you that still feel buried in macaroni art, another great idea is to scan or take pictures of each little masterpiece and compile it all into a book or album.

Laboring on Labor Day

 I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! I spent most of mine working hard on our new website set to launch soon. Luckily the rain held off long enough for me to snap some pics for our new online store. We've got lots of exciting new stuff on the way, so stay tuned!

We're also gearing up for our first show at the end of this month. Christmas in Cowtown, presented by the Junior League of Ft. Worth, will take place 9/30 - 10/2 at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Ft. Worth, Texas. Click here for more info about the show.

Needlepoint I need...or just really want

What great examples of putting a modern spin on an old craft!
