What a beautiful custom embroidered silhouette. This would make for a very sweet bridal shower gift or even a precious keepsake for a new parent. Check them out in The Time is Now Shop on Etsy.

I’m completely crushing on these coasters from Dimmalimm Home. A convenient way to protect your furniture without the hassle of asking people to use a coaster. Plus, they’re so pretty, you’re guests will be thrilled to use them. Just slip them on before the party and you’ve got instant decor as well!

These coasters are made of beautifully muted felt and come in either a Citrus pattern or Hibiscus style. Be sure to check out the Dimmalimm Home Shop, it’s well worth the visit.

I recently purchased this Sugar & Sweets Print by Katie Kirk and couldn’t keep the joy all to myself. I love Katie’s work beyond words and I’m ecstatic that I now own a piece of it. This image doesn’t do it justice, it’s even sweeter in person! The gold shines in the light and the details are immaculate! A girl after my own heart, she was inspired by Martha Stewart, Amy Atlas, Coppola’s Marie Antoinette and Willy Wonka. Swoon!

See more of Katie’s work at her design site, Eight Hour Day or purchase your own from her Etsy shop. Lot’s more great stuff to see!

On a completely unrelated note, Maggie of magchunk has put together a fun interview of me on her lovely blog. It was so sweet of Maggie to invite me to share more about myself and I had so much fun answering her questions! If you’d like to take a look you can read the full post here and I hope you enjoy it!

****UPDATE: Download the latest version of the bag here. Enjoy and happy early Valentine’s Day to all!***

Back by popular demand! These were a big hit last year and I’ve been getting tons of emails lately about them so I’ve made an updated version for 2010! Just download the file and print directly onto the paper bag. For more detailed instructions and other printing suggestions visit my previous post here. Once you’ve made the bags, fill with heart shaped brownies cut with a cookie cutter.

Last year one reader suggested that a glassine bag be placed inside to preserve the craft bag. I loved the suggestion and incorporated it into these photos. To make the scalloped edge, simply cut tops of bags off using a rotary cutter and scalloped pinking blade.

Additionally, I now also carry the brown craft bags in my Etsy shop. Sold in packs of 25 they’re great for all sorts of crafts, gifts and little treats! Not a fan of the craft bag? I also stock them in white. I’ve got a few more Valentine’s Day goodies coming this week so be sure to check back often!

Psst! You can find those adorable straws over at Garnish! They come in red, blue and green – oh the possibilities!!!

*UPDATE! I completely spaced on the fact that the rest of the world writes their dates differently so please forgive my polarizing design. I’ve created another file which you can download here with the date 14.02.10. Apologies and please enjoy! xoxo, Kathleen

Making a guest appearance in my latest DIY project for Style Me Pretty, I’ve got a new Print Your Own template in my Etsy shop to share. This Ornament Favor Wrap uses only black ink so it can be printed on any color card stock. Pair with a coordinating holiday ornament and they make for a festive favor.

Not just for weddings, these would be perfect for any of the upcoming holiday meals and events that are quickly approaching. All you’ll need is an ornament, then simply print, cut and secure with a ribbon and you’ve got instant table decor! And at just $4 for the template it’s affordable too! *Tip: For an extra touch, hand write names on the ribbon with a fabric pen and they double as place cards!

I’ve got another Felt Craft coming up later today to be sure to check back!
