Weekly catch-up...

Daily, I think not, weekly...maybe so.

Monday Muse:
A food blog, The Tomato Tart, has organized a virtual bakesale with the proceeds going to support Sec­ond Har­vest Japan, that nation’s first food bank. How amazing is this blogger?!?! Something that started as her own project to help those in the earthquake and now it has blossomed into something with more than 90 people participating all over the world! The kindness of strangers can be truly inspiring. Purchase your goods on March 30th!
Tuesday Travel:
Let's go to the Pantone Hotel in Brussels. Wouldn't it be fun to request a specific color room. Today I would ask for PMS 397C.
Wednesday Wish:
I wish Phoenix always smelled like orange blossoms. That and the 75-degree weather we had all weekend makes it worthwhile to live in this desert.
Thursday Tidbit:
I heart these garlands and they will instantly brighten your day.
Friday Fashion:
Debating on getting this swimsuit. Such a cute vintage cut

Seesaw Design

There is a great Phoenix-based design studio called Seesaw. I first saw there business card awhile ago in a smoothie shop and they were delightful...clean stock and light blue zig-zag stitched with a machine on one end. Letterpress and sewing! You can't go wrong. Every now and then I see them pop back up somewhere and felt the need to share their story and work.

I am in love with their new wall calendar and these adorable tangelo letterpressed cards. I think I need to get the calendar for my house!

I wonder what it would be like to work there. Being able to do graphic design and make cards all day, I think that would be perfect.

In another local shop!

We have now started selling our products in Hissyfits. It is a local Phoenix children's clothing store offering lightly used and new clothing, furniture and toys.

We are excited to be growing our Valley presence. Come check us out.

A new home! Perfect Dressipe at Bunky Boutique.

Exciting news...we are now selling in a local store. You can find some of our items (handbags, onesies, jewelry, headbands, pillows and t-shirts) at Bunky Boutique in Phoenix, AZ. It is an adorable place by Roosevelt and 3rd St.

Open since 2007, they carry men's, women's, and children's clothing and accessories. The owner Rachel is adorable and so sweet. We highly recommend you go check it out.

The Fair!

We had our first street fair this last weekend and it was quite a success. Our booth was vibrant and beautiful! We had a lot of support and help from family and friends. Thanks to you all, you know who you are.


We loved how we displayed everything using twine and clothespins, as well as our awesome display rack custom made for us!


Overall a great experience for us. We got our name out there, met some fun people in the Phoenix art community and sold a few things in the process. We will keep you updated as to where you can find us next.
