fresh find - fashion binder

It's back to school time, and the flyers are already inserted into the daily newspapers...

Browsing through the Canadian Tire weekly flyer...

the 1½-inch Fashion Binder caught my eye in this floral {comes in stripes too!} for only $1.49!

elum letterpress

Back to the blogging world once again :) I had a nice four day break, we didn't do much of anything and it was as perfect as one could imagine! Did meet up with old friends for Promenade Days downtown and took a drive to the country (Thornton) for their famous fro-yo. Mmmm.

I came across Elum in my new issue of Style at Home this weekend. Beautiful letterpress stationery, invites, note cards and more with a modern twist. I am adding this site to 'my favourite things' links section :)

I took a trip to Michael's last night to get a few last minute things for my craft show tomorrow and all I can say is Wow! Martha has done it again! Embellishments galore, paper, tools, adhesives, scrapbooking, storage, you name it, it's all there, down one isle. {Makes for an easy in-out trip when Hunny is waiting in the car hehe} Check out Martha's new line here.

Have a creative weekend!

love opening my mailbox!

'bravery bracelet' from sick kids
'miss manners' tags divine papers

I opened my mailbox to find my 'Bravery Bracelet' from Shop Sick Kids and 'Miss Manners' thank you tags from the lovely Delaney at Divine Papers! How lucky am I?

On top of that, it's a BEAUTIFUL day! I will post some more pics later, I am waiting for my other half to come home so we can go for a walk and I can snap some pics of those pretty little crocusses I passed on the walk home from work. :)

WE ♥ DOXIES - ROCK SCISSOR PAPER

Okay, so maybe WE don't ♥ Doxies {but I sure do!!} and Rock Scissor Paper has a whole Doxie collection, full of cute little wiener dogs.

From $4.25 {gift tags} to $25.00 {wall tile! how sweet is that?} and lots of note cards in between, the Doxie Lover {like me} will find something to suit their wiener needs.

SHOP DOXIE

I love this delightful online store Shop Doxie. Here you will find handmade goods, art, paper + more! A little bit of everything, everything wiener; I am in love. Also, 10% of Shop Doxie's sales are donated to the Dachshund Rescue of North America, save a wiener in distress!
