Shout Out! - Brookish

I happened upon this Mr. Darcy Proposal Mug a few weeks back and nearly fell off my chair. That Mr. Darcy's a charmer even on a mug! *swoon*

Although I don't own that mug (not yet, anyway!), I am in possession of another lovely mug from Brookish. My sister gifted me this mug last year (and purchased another for herself), and it's one of my favorite mugs to use. For me, the quotation is a celebration of stay-at-home motherhood!

Looking for a gift for an Austen fan? Or are you yourself a lover of Jane? Then you must check out the mugs & shirts & dishtowels & more at brookish.etsy.com!

New Business Cards

Every once in awhile moo.com and Etsy.com get together and do a promotion where Etsy sellers can get a batch of moo business cards for free. I took advantage of the offer this time around and am so glad I did! The cards look wonderful! Don't you think?

I was able to put my own pictures on the front of the cards, so I will now always have examples on me of what I sell. And they look so much more professional than the cards I'd been printing out on my printer at home! I can't wait to start handing them out!

Fresh Pictures

Hello, spring! Warmer weather and the return of green grass and growing plants means new (outdoor!) pictures for underduck! It makes me want to throw a birthday party outside on our patio! My husband's birthday is this weekend ...

Shout Out! - Little Nurslings

I just received a beautiful wooden nursing necklace
from Little Nurslings. Milena saw it and immediately wanted to play with it, but since it's a gift, I didn't let her sink her teeth into it. The necklace is so nice, I almost don't want to give it away! I'm hoping the mama-to-be will love it just as much as we do!

Update - Wedding Banner

You may remember this post about a custom banner being given as a wedding present. Well the buyer sent me a picture of the banner being displayed with the wedding cake. Again, I think this is such a great gift to give as a wedding present. I wish I had thought of it when all my friends were getting married.



Congrats again, Amber & Alex!
(PS - your cake looks delicious!)

Custom Birthday Banner

I'm often asked if it's possible to add a name to the "Happy Birthday" banners. Yes, it is possible. But unless your name is "Ed" or "Pam", it's going to quickly become a long banner.

Here's an alternative approach. For this custom order, I created a separate name banner made from the same material used for the "Happy Birthday" banners. This way the banners match, but the birthday banner isn't too long and can also be used for other members of the family!

I hope you have a great birthday, Elijah!

Shout Out! - TinyTangerines

Warmer weather means Milena can wear her cute hats from Tiny Tangerines again!

I'm partial to the kitty hat, since I've actually wanted one like it for years. But both are super cute and warm! The braids are long enough that I can tie them under Milena's chin and then again behind her head so she doesn't try to pull on them or put them in her mouth. She wore them often last fall, and they still look good as new this spring!

Check out TinyTangerines.etsy.com for more adorable crocheted hats! They're available in sizes from newborn to adult for boys and girls.

I think I may need to get Milena the Brown Owl Hat next time!
