Autumn
It’s beginning to look a lot like…FALL! And not fast enough to satisfy us, darlings! We want colder days for cozier fires and comfier cocoa!
Monogram Etiquette
Monograms can be confusing. Here are a few basic tips to remember: If the center initial is larger, use your Last Initial in the center, First Initial on the left side, and Middle Initial on the right side. If the center initial is the same size as all other letters, list your initials as First,…
The Stationery Academy
I don’t even know where to begin this story, much in the same way that I can’t find the words to explain how full my heart is right now. But the story starts sometime back in 2010, when Emily went to a Making Things Happen session and then came home to blog about it. I’d…
