{Everyday Inspiration} four fun finds #7

Posted by kristinloffertheiss on December 19, 2010 in Everyday Inspiration, four, fun finds, kits, papercut, prints | No Comments

The countdown has started…Christmas is just around the corner! Here are some last minute gift ideas. This collection of four fun things is inspired by my love of paper & making things….

1. The top row of Christmas Creatures is perfect for the procrastinator who likes to make their own gifts. If you visit the mibostudio Etsy shop, you can buy all sorts of cute critters that are sold as a pdf file. Which means, no shipping, no waiting in line and the satisfaction that you made something special for your loved ones. Genius really…

2. I’ve had my eye on these paper cut map prints from Famille Summerbelle for some time. They are a perfect way to pay tribute to your favorite city.

3. I just love paperdolls. I found some earlier & mentioned them on one of my first 4 fun find posts -and here is another sweet shop that makes them. Edith is my gal -but there are many to choose from. They come with clothes as well.

4. “How to” kits are always a great thing to find. This little kit includes 4 favorite papercut design templates {Peter Rabbit, Alice in Wonderland, Pinnocchio, Little Red Ridinghood} from elsita Etsy Shop.

What’s your favorite new discovery this holiday season? I hope you are enjoying the hustle & bustle and all of the traditions & festivities that comes with it!

{Everyday Inspiration} Four fun finds #6

Posted by kristinloffertheiss on December 13, 2010 in four fun finds, fun finds | No Comments

This collection of four fun finds is inspired by the holidays. I’m always drawn to palette of winter- cold skies & peppermint sticks. Here are a few things that caught my eye this week- a few for the first time & a few old favorites.

1.The Normanville coat from LittleHouses was one of the first things that I called a “favorite” on Etsy. I really like the color, buttons, & hood. Seemed about right for the weather these days.

2. When I saw the Tapikids playmats via Pirouette blog, I was immediately smitten with them. I would love to get one for Sayer- I know he would have a lot of fun with it. I think Chris & I might make him a custom playmat for his birthday though.

3. This tiny red, felt Roland from Pulsewidth caught my attention when I saw it on Etsy. I really like plush musical instruments.

4.The Secret print from Blanca Gomez is a favorite of mine. I have a few of her prints & have her 2010 calendar. The woman from this print is the December picture & enjoy staring at it while I work.

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Are you getting a chance to enjoy the holiday festivities? What is your favorite tradition?

{wish list} The Elegant Cockroach….

While I certainly love all of the items that I include in my four fun finds posts, this one is on a special wish list. When I read about this book in UPPERCASE Magazine, I got really excited to see it in person. I’m already a big fan of their books- I have the Suitcase Series: Camilla Engman that I bought myself for Christmas last year. The design of the book is a cool as the inside. It’s the whole package.

I think it would be safe to say that any project that UPPERCASE takes on, would catch my interest, but The Elegant Cockroach is first on my list. Doesn’t it look great? I think I would qualify as a whimsical adult, don’t you?

{Everyday Inspiration} four fun finds #5

Posted by kristinloffertheiss on December 05, 2010 in Everyday Inspiration, four fun finds, fun finds | 12 Comments

The Christmas preparations are in full swing at our house. Kiddo met Santa this weekend & I think we are going to the tree farm this week to find our tree. With the festivities on my mind, I found four more fun finds to share that reminded me of the holidays.

1- The top print is from a favorite NW artist, Matte Stephens.

2- I found this fedora from another cool, NW company called Knuckleheads. I actually just bought one for Sayer. They have some pretty darn cute things for little boys.

3- This Candy Man Pillow is from LuckyBoySunday & can be found here.

4- I have a thing for coats & big buttons. Isn’t this coat cool? I found it on Etsy here.

I hope you are having a great weekend! How do you get ready for the holidays?
