Welcome, Welcome to year of the Rabbit. 

We hope your house has been swept and you are ready
for a year of good luck. 

 We have a few wise and cautious rabbits in our family
 and we hope that you do too.

Now we can have more of a soft and cuddly year
as we hop on down the bunny trail.

 eat your oysters and long noodles

GOOD HEALTH AND PROSPERITY

for the Rabbit year ahead.

WOYWW - V.Day Mode

I promised myself that if it had to do with Valentine's day and it wasn't up by midnight on well... today that it wasn't going to go up this year.
LIES.

I promise if it's not up by Thursday and it involves hearts it's not going up! In the meantime. I'm finishing off a project I started toying with in my sketchbook one fine day.

Once upon a time I knew a boy who carved my name in a tree. While Amber INK. is my current meaningful relationship...

I think every girl should have that in her life at least once (even though we're about as green as they come. and love trees more than we love most people.)

Instead of breaking out a knife and taking it to the oak lined streets of Brooklyn, I have been designing this new set.

It's going to be called "Carved with Care' and it's the feather in our cap this Valentine's season.

Here's what I'm doing now:

That is my open terrarium, a most brilliant birthday gift. It seems sent to remind me of the Godly smell of earth even while the sky empties a seemingly endless supply of frozen water on my beloved Brooklyn. It's just what I need to fuel the inspiration for this set. Tonight I am designing one of the sets of alphabet letters that will go with this set. Is there anything I'm missing?

These letters can be digi-ed into the carved heart that comes with this set. I'm SO excited to finish it up and want it up and at em' by Thursday morning.

I am thrilled to have what seems like a truly popular set! We launched 'More 2 Love - Girls Night IN' this afternoon and the orders are coming on in all rapid fire! WOoOt!!! Let's hear it for the year of the rabbit!

Run by our gal' Julia's to show off your desk or woodland love or what you're wearing on your heart come the 14th ;)
x and o and more x
