True. Love.

True. Love., originally uploaded by mewpaperarts.
I have two Valentine’s this year–both are kind of furry, with soft bellies and big, healthy appetites. And both are hopelessly devoted to me.
I love you, Cooper and Dino.

What’s new at Mew?

Recycled Wedding Invitation, originally uploaded by mewpaperarts.
Looks like the Handmade Wedding series is back at Etsy, so I thought it’d be a good time to introduce something new to the wedding collection in my shop. This Storque article focused on green weddings, which is a flourishing theme in the wedding industry–as everywhere else these days.  [...]

Original Bubbles?

In these tumultuous times, when “change” is the word on everyone’s lips, it’s nice to know that somethings, albeit small things, are staying the same.  Like the bubbles in our bubble wrap.  I for one, am relieved to have the original bubbles remaining.  I shudder to think what shipping would be like otherwise.
WTF?

Beach Chic

If only my breasts were as flat as my bum…I would don this Moroccan inspired swimsuit from the Sundance catalog and dash off to Tunisia for an exotic holiday.  Overpriced as it may be, isn’t it pretty?

East Meets West

One of the long time best sellers in my shop are these Cherry Blossom shower invitations.  Lots of bridesmaids are throwing showers with an infusion of Asian elements in the decor and food.  One of my recent clients was even having her guests enjoy sushi on floor cushions in traditional Japanese style.
I found a [...]

My trusty Google Analytics, to which you know I am so faithful, sniffed out a new site for me again today!  I found the whimsical and playful blog My Lily Eden.  The thing with the analytics is, it only shows the name of the referring sites–so until you click on the link you never know [...]

Lemondrop Daydreams

That Martha, up to her usual lovliness again!  Imagining a yellow day, instead of this whitish-grey one that I have before me, I stopped by Martha’s on a whim.  I knew I’d find enough sunshine to cover the winter blahs like a blanket!  All images found on Martha Stewart, except for the bicycle photo which [...]

So fresh and so clean!

I had to go to the dentist the other day for my regular cleaning.  I go once a year, which I think is the standard recommended by 2 out of 3 dentists.  But I’m willing to bet that there are a lot of people who visit far less frequently than that.  As much as I [...]

Smitten with Smittens!

You know how I’m a total grouch about holidays?  Believe it or not, I’m kind of a big fan of Valentine’s Day.  I know, weird, right?  Especially because PDA’s (the make-out kind, not the Blackberry kind!) totally make me uncomfortable, and jacked-up prix fixe menus at restaurants make my blood boil.  I just have fond [...]

Hey Brides-to-Be have I got a find for you!

In the worst economy of our generation, the word thrifty is not  a synonym for “cheap”.  Nope, it’s more like a necessity these days.  The good news is, you can be thrifty and score some fabulous stuff that will have your style-savvy friends jaws on the floor.  My mom is the queen of thrift and [...]
