From the Desk Fridays: Wine Bottle Tags

Like I said earlier this week, no one will forget who brought the wine with the moose tag. Love this so much.

Happy Weekend!

Calendar by Nate Duval

Paper Crave has a great round up of 2010 Calendars going on right now. (Ours was featured in Part 1 of her so far 6-part round up.) So many to choose from & all so unique. Especially loving this one by Nate Duval.

New: Moose Tags!

I'm unapologetic about being moose crazy, so here we go with another moose addition! New to our shop: laser-cut chipboard moose tags.

I plan on tying them on wine bottles for holiday parties. Forget wine labels! No one will forget who brought the wine with the moose tag.


I used them as garland for our trunk show last night. I'd love to get some wire and make a wreath of these little moose guys. Maybe even spray-painted gold or green:)

Trunk Show in NYC Tonight!

We're getting a jump start on the holidays with a little trunk show cocktail party tonight in the city, along with our two friends KAGE Handbags and Anne Woodman Jewelry. Have you seen their stuff? I use my KAGE bag every day & wear my Anne Woodman ring every other day. Love them!

We'd love to see you there! It's a private event, so please email us for the location.

With Thanks: Elle Decor

We are beyond thrilled to have our 2010 Calendar in this month's Elle Decor gift guide! And with some great company, I might add. (I want that Jonathan Adler dog bed for Kingsley!) Check out all their holiday gift ideas on the slideshow here.

From the Desk Fridays: Gift Set

We've added our Gift Set to the shop! This year, we're packing our goodies in a little cotton bag, screen printed with our favorite furry friend, Moose. We're tucking inside our 2010 Calendar, a notepad and a box of note cards. (You can pick what note card & notepad designs you want.) The entire set retails for $60 separately, but we're offering it together for $50. Go check it out here.


Happy Weekend!

Faux Fireplace

We're in the process of moving. Slowly. And instead of packing boxes, I labor over stupid things like mantels for non-existing fireplaces. (I did the same thing for our wedding. Forget the dress - I wanted to talk table linens.) After choosing to go with the paint swatch on the lower left (Benjamin Moore #681), my next project is making this wall-jut-thing into a fake fireplace - or more like acting as the facade of the real one behind the plaster. I love mantels and am eyeing one on craigslist right now. I love how they can be the focus of a room. Distracting your guests, say, from the 57" television your husband wants to get. I refuse to get glasses, so I'm all for upgrading the size of our tv. That, and we like watching tv. But I really don't like tvs being the center of the room - blatently & unabashedly saying "this is what we do here." Even if that's true, I'd still like to pretend it's not. But is putting up a mantel without a real fireplace just masking the problem? What if I add pretty wallpaper (purple scratches below) in place of the fire? Still masking? Help!
