Hi dearies!  I hope you all had a wonderful week.  The Thanksgiving holiday was very mellow and I enjoyed working on little projects here and there and eating an ample amount of leftovers.  With my nose in a book or armed with a needle and thread (repairing an old ’30s dress, for example) I nearly forgot to mention I had added some cheery recipe cards to my Etsy shop…so here they are!

Oh, and they’re printed on recycled paper with soy inks.

Which reminds me, if you’d like to print your own recipe cards (plus bakery tags, background papers and more) there’s my Blackbirds kit in the shop:

Hi sweets!  My holiday cards have arrived and are nestled in my Etsy shop.

I love how they turned out.  This year I chose a generous size of 5″x7″ – not too big but large enough to really stand out and look pretty on the mantle, tree, etc.   The vintage paper that I used for the silhouette’s background is perfectly (and naturally) aged and distressed to look like an heirloom.  The red envelopes are a deep red which complements the bold black and tan so nicely.  And naturally, they come tied up with red and white striped twine (something I can never get enough of).

You can see the vintage paper better in this photo.  (This image also comes in a 5″x7″ print.)

Cards are printed on 100% recycled paper with soy inks.  Available individually or in sets of 5.

UPDATE: These cards are sold out – thank you, sweet peas!

Have a lovely evening dears!  Thanks for stopping by.  (Off to sew something, I think…either that or getting some red velvet hot cocoa!  Both?  Hee hee.)

My dreadful cold turned into a terrible sinus infection and I’m finally, 3 weeks later, feeling almost completely normal and I plan to feel much better in a couple of days!  Huzzah!  Thank you so much for your kind comments while I’ve been hiding out in my little house recuperating.

The onset of winter has brought some bright and sunny yet chilly weather to these parts and it really feels like Christmas now.  Gosh, the holidays just seemed to sneak up on me this year – do you feel that way too?

I’m almost done with my stockings and the gifts are wrapped and ready.

Christmas baking is well under way.

Pie: Ah, yes, you say you’ll have only one teensy piece but you know that’s a lie.  Just have another blasted slice already.

Jen: OK, done.

Anyway, dears, have a merry, merry holiday! I’m going to enjoy a little break and I’ll talk to you soon!

{Shop Announcement}

My wee Etsy shops are closed until January 3rd but my own store, love Liette, will remain open.  Although physical goods won’t be shipped until the new year, you can still purchase downloadable items like patterns, printable paper and such.  The cold that I’m just getting over has taught me I need to slow it down a bit so I’m going to be taking it easy until January 3rd.   As always, please feel free to contact me during this time.

Thank you for all your support this year!

xoxo

Hi sweets.  Some holiday gift tags, especially for you.

Look, Spoo Kee is dressed up like Santa!

Just print the pdf on letter-size paper and cut.  There’s room at the tops to punch holes, for ribbon or twine.
