Julie Morstad

It's been a while since i've been in love with Julie Morstad work. Her illustrations inspire me and make me feel all sorts of things when i see them. I recently bought the illustration book Milk Teeth And Others by Julie and now it's one of my little treasures.

Before having this book, i possessively loved my little one's abc cards by Julie Morstad. I didn't even want poor girl to play with them and the time she folded (and bite) the "B is for banjo" and "F is for fort" cards, i was like: "nooooooooooo". But now that i have my book she can have the card set all for herself and i'm sure she'll be happy because she loves JM illustrations as much as i do!

The B has a serious bite on it!

For more fantastic Julie Morstad illustration, visit her website here and her shop here (And in case husband read this, can i have this and/or this for my birthday? ;)).

Have a great day!

Souvenirs From Mexico Giveaway!!

You didn't think i came back from my vacation empty handed, right? well, i brought some souvenirs from our trip for one lucky reader!!

The first souvenir is a mini sarape, which is hand made in Saltillo. A sarape is kind of a blanket but may be as well something you'll wear as a shawl. It's very colorful and beautiful! The one i brought is mini, too small to wear but perfect for a place mat or to put it under your flower pots to add some cheerfulness to a room :D

The second souvenir it's a beautifully crafted woven bag/purse made of palm. You can use it as a cosmetic bag or to put in letters or small treasures ;) This bag is made by hand in Tabasco by local artisans/indigenous people, so it's a real treasure :)

How to participate:

-Leave a comment bellow!

-yeah, that's it!

I'll make the raffle on Monday the 17 (that's a week from now!) and announce the winner that same day via blog/twitter and facebook ;)

I hope you are excited about my giveaway :) I am truly happy to give this to one of my lovely readers! Good luck to you all!

Today's Words

By Daniel and Katie

Etsy love

I love etsy. Not just having a shop there but buying there, too. It's a place full of wonderful, talented artist and it's such a pleasure to get something directly from the person who make it/create it.

And then when the postman arrives with all the lovely yellow envelopes it's so exciting :D it feels like Christmas! And etsy sellers are so attentive and nice, i love the little thank you notes, the stickers, the cards, the stamps, the japanese tape and all those details they use to make the packaging prettier. Pretty packaging makes Iveth happy. Oh, and let's not forget the freebies!! yay, so cool! You won't get that kind of care and attention from any mall/shop crap. Buying/selling handmade rule!

Freshly arrived mail from The Seventy Tree, Small Talk Studio and The Black Apple.

Little pretty things from Tabitha Emma.

The seventy tree lovely prints and awesome gift (funny heads magnet), thanks Kerry!

In love with the little details on The Black Apple's packaging.

Shop Announcement

Check out this new picks i took of the packaging of my jewellery, This is the new way my clients receive their orders :)
At the beginning i sent the orders in just the blue keepsake bag, then i started to use a tiny white box to sent them. Now i got those beautiful brownish boxes and i'm very happy because they look gorgeous. I still send the blue felt little bag, handmade by me of course :) as a present for my costumers so they can keep their jewellery safe and pretty when they aren't using it.

Now i need your help: Which photo you think i should use for the etsy shop? which one you like the better?

Thanks for helping me out! Another thing i wanted to tell you is that at last, we are going to Mexico in two weeks and i'll close my shop from November 26 to, maybe the last week of December. Just wanted to put it out there :)

Chef's pencil set by Paper Pastries

I wish you all a great week!

New Listing!

New necklace on my shop!
I called it the Tiny Meteorite Nekclace because the inspiration came from my another meteorite necklace. This version is a lot smaller and cuter! but still, very cool.

This came up really beautiful and i'm so proud of it :) It hangs from a 30" inch sterling silver chain that goes trough the pendant: no jump rings, no loops, just the meteorite and the chain, perfect together. It looks so cool on, very modern and geometric-ish. It's also looooong and lovely, plus the pendant weights about 5 grams so it feels really great on :)

It feels so good to bring something new to you! i hope you like it ;)

Please visit my shop, The Angry Weather, for more details. Thanks!
