flat stanley: having an ice cream in marblhead

This morning I was working on a Flat Stanley project for my niece. I really don’t know much about the history behind Flat Stanley. I just know it’s a book and I guess Stanley travels. I showed him the sights here in Marblehead. Lots of photos of boats, lobster pots, and buoys. I wanted to show Stanley all the great things you find in a New England coastal town. The weather was a bit crumby and rainy. I hope my niece thinks the photos are funny! A few of my favorites above and below. See more here.

New! Wayne Pate: Jacques & Sammy Seagull Prints

Posted on | May 14, 2009 | 1 Comment

I annouced the release of Wayne Pate’s Jacques print about a month ago. Wayne has outdone himself and added a new coordinating Sammy Seagull print to his shop. Nautical prints are a total favorite of mine. Totally cute in a kids’ room or nursery. Just $35 each for a silkscreen print.

Fabric and pillows designed by Jenny Lee-Katz. I love her collections of seagulls and fish. Super cute for a kids room. The turquoise colored fish could be amazing as curtains. Check out Jenny’s website and etsy shop for many more fabric and pillow options.

Back from Long Weekend/Egg Photos

Posted on | April 13, 2009 | 1 Comment

I’m back from my long weekend in New York. It was great to spend some time with my nieces. Sunday morning we decorated eggs, made biscuits together, and invite their friends over for an easter egg hunt. My older niece spotted her mom hiding the eggs in the backyard. She ran into the kitchen declaring to her dad, “I figured it out!” Our excuse? The easter bunny doesn’t have time to hide them all. So he leaves a basket for moms and dads to hide. She may caught on next year but how nice is it to believe a giant bunny brings everyone treats? So what if it’s a bit silly!
