As seen on...

Hi everyone! Today, you can see Maida Vale's Scandinavian-inspired holiday cards on Paper Crave. Kristen put together a fun collection of geometric cards and I am proud to be part of it. Enjoy!

Holiday 2012: Gift tags galore.

For this final post of holiday goodies, I'd like to share some gift tags with you! These tags will pretty up simple packages (think kraft or solid metallic wrap). The bird and peppermint stripe tags were both printed on my vintage letterpress, and can be used as a bookmark after the holidays. The other two styles are die cut from woodgrain embossed cardstock. All tags are now listed in the Maida Vale Etsy shop. Here's hoping for a delightful holiday season!

Last call for orders!

Good morning, everyone! Just wanted to post a quick note to let you know that the last day for orders will be this Friday, 12/16. I'll be heading home for the holidays after that, so the shop will be closed until I return in late December. Visit the shop now to pick up your favorite goodies for the holiday season. Thanks!

Cupcakes + Couture.

I had a wonderful time at Cupcakes & Couture yesterday! Trophy Cupcakes is darling, and there were a lot of talented vendors in the room. Good times. Just wanted to share a few photos of the event including me with Santa (!). I told him I've been good this year.

Also, as a reminder, today is the last day for sales to benefit the ASPCA. Visit the shop now to add your contribution. Thanks!

And, don't forget! 10% of all purchases in the shop during the month of November will go to ASPCA.

Donating 10% of all Etsy sales in November.

As a way of giving back and giving thanks this November, I am going to donate 10% of all sales in my Etsy shop to ASPCA. In addition, my husband and I will make a donation to the shelter where we adopted one of our sweet kitties nearly 13 years ago.

In case you are curious as to why I have chosen ASPCA: We unfortunately lost both of our furry beasts this year (one to diabetes, the other to cancer) and such loss has left us a hole in our hearts. They were our loyal and loving companions for 12 years, and we are so thankful for every minute (good and bad) that we had with them. The ASPCA works to rescue animals from abuse, pass humane laws and share resources with shelters nationwide. When we adopted our kitty as our local shelter all those years ago, we only had to pay $15 for a friendship I'll never forget.

Faux bois gift tags.

The shop is all prettied up for the holidays! Additional card designs are coming in the next couple of weeks, but until then... enjoy these faux bois gift tags! They are textured on the front, blank and smooth on the back. Ready to dress up your gifties this holiday season.
