Monogrammed Madness

by Vanessa on November 17, 2010

I’ve always been a fan of the little personal touches that make an event, gift, or moment incredibly special. I know it’s a little early, but I’ve been brainstorming holiday gifts that are one of a kind for my family and friends. Inspired by this Blue Star Monogram Boy Photo Birth Announcement, I’m thinking about incorporating monograms in my holiday gifts. Below is a roundup of some of my favorite monogrammed items I’m currently dreaming about…

I’ve always been extremely fond of all things nautical… in case you haven’t noticed from my numerous nautical-related posts in the past! I’m not even close to being in the market for birth announcements, but if I was, I am positive this Blue Anchor Baby Boy Photo Birth Announcement from Carrot & Stick Press would be my first choice. With so many cute anchors, here’s a little Take 2 Tuesday that’s ever so reminiscent of a long sea voyage.

Owl Obsession

by Vanessa on September 1, 2010

I really don’t think I’m just imagining this trend. I’ve been seeing these creatures everywhere! Not just in the obvious places, but in nearly every store and used in almost every design aesthetic imaginable! This cute creature that’s been popping up is the owl. Maybe it’s the big eyes or the fun colors you can make any owl into, but I’ve been seeing them everywhere! Don’t get me wrong, I adore owls. I have a gorgeous owl necklace (purchased before this trend got so big), and recently bought some owl stationery. With this trend in mind, the following inspiration board features owls seen in many different settings around the web. Why do you think owls have gotten so popular? P.S. – You MUST see the close up of the Owl Invasion Apron. It is so dang cute! And it matches that birth announcement by Dee & Lala perfectly… I think it would make the perfect baby shower gift!
