love…who needs it? (we do!)


it’s that time of year again, time to spread the love…at the office, grocery store, your house, the gym, pretty much anywhere you see a bulletin board. just print out the handy dandy pdf attached here, snip the bottom of your paper into strips, and stick that baby up! feel free to share pics of your handiwork on our facebook page…(just click right here and print away!)


we are fortunate to work with some of the most talented makers, shakers, and creators around. while we don’t have every item available online that we have here in the shoppe, you can find work from the following folks either right here or at our world headquarters in kansas city (ok, ok, it’s the only headquarters, but how much fun is that to say?!)

time to freshen up!


have you taken down your holiday decorations? (dude! it’s time!) things always feel so empty after the tinsels and trees and mistletoe come down (ok, ok, we left it up!)…it’s the perfect time of year to move the furniture, frame new art, freshen things up. our favorite thing right now are shanna murray wall decals. why? because you can change the look every day. they frame your treasures just-so. tape up a picture of your grandma, a painting from your kid, a love note from your favorite. or get creative and pencil in a favorite poem, tape up treasures from a morning walk…create an ever changing portrait of your life right there on your wall!

merry merry!


24!


baby, it’s cold outside! whether you’re taking long neighborhood walks after even longer holiday meals, or making 3 quick emergency trips to the grocery store, an extra layer knitted by cristin*rae keeps the inside to outside transition a little nicer…

have someone you want to meet under the mistletoe? a best pal that will stay up and wrap presents with you all night long? maybe someone you miss like crazy as it gets colder outside? let them know how much you ♥ them with a key to your heart from art school girl! laser cut from vintage book covers and packaged just so…

what better way to send a holiday greeting than through a few well chosen words and a great looking card? we especially like these from resurrected by erin culp…vintage images topped with a little something three dimensional is such a treat in the mail!
