We've been stuffing beach towels and blankets under the door to keep the drafty air out of this little old house. We have to find something more permanent, and less tacky, of course. But I just stumbled upon a much more adorable option- this snake draft dodger! By Banquet, it's actually a kit that comes with a screenprinted snake and includes everything you need to stuff it and paint it. Use it at the foot of your door to keep the cold out, as quirky home decor or a fun toy for a kiddo. Speaking of which, this would be a super fun project to do with kids!

Nonesuchthings
Nonesuchthings is a cute little shop that could easily be called "all such things" because they carry all sorts of cuteness! Somewhere in between a shop and blog, this London based site carries porcelain keys, Japanese bunny bags, teacup jewelry, gorgeous masking tapes and my favorite, glitter crayon rings! (upper left) You'll be able to doodle at a moment's notice.

Olive Manna
Oh, Olive Manna, I fell in love with you instantly. With a beautifully curated selection of supplies, paper goods and packaging, this shop inspires me to create, to give gifts and make things pretty. And the product photography is so gorgeous, I could just live in it. Good job Olive Manna momma- your shop is gorgeous!

Buttons & Such
Buttons&Such is filled with knicksknacks and ricracs and tons of cute crafty supplies. I love their ribbon especially- how pretty would it be to wrap up a simple package with? Brown kraft paper + colorful ribbon = so adorable.

Sugar Pink Boutique
Sugar Pink Boutique's collection of trims are making me feel awfully giddy. I'm trying to figure out how I can cover my stairwell with 15 different colors of pompoms without the mister noticing...hmm...in the meantime, that tissue garland (of which there are many more colors in the shop) has New Year's Party written all over it!

Caramelos
I'm itching to get down to my local craft store today to pick up some supplies to pretty up my packages (I have orders to send out- yahoooooo!) But in the meantime I was browsing etsy for packaging supplies and look at this incredible shop I stumbled upon...
It's called Caramelos, and it's brilliant. If you're looking for something sparkled, scalloped, pom-pommed, flowered or ric-racked for packages or craft projects, then look no further. But beware: the prettiness just may blow you away.

Nice Package
Hey birds, have you heard the word? Two of my, and your, favorite bloggers (Marichelle from Heart Handmade and Ez from Creature Comforts) have teamed up to start a brand new shop called Nice Package. They sell all the nice little details you need to make your packages, and your home, a little prettier. Well, who are we kidding- with Marichelle and Ez behind it, you know things are going to be a whole lot prettier. See what I mean?
The shop officially opens today, check it out! And be sure to stop by the Nice Package blog to stay in loop.

Tiny Bazaar
This is a special post for all you shop owners or frequent snail mail senders! Give your packages a major dose of cuteness with this stamp set by Tiny Bazaar. There's a happy ice cream address stamp, a horsey handle with care stamp and a sweet girl asking that you please don't bend stamp. So adorable!
And the best part is, you can ink just what you'd like, just the horse's head for example, to use them in different ways- check out the Tiny Bazaar blog for lots of ideas on the various ways you can use these.
They sold out super fast the first go around, so are now available for pre-order and will be shipped as soon as they are back in stock. Don't miss out this time around!

Repeat
I've been a longtime fan of Bookhou- they were one of the first companies I wrote about here waaaay back and I used to carry their goods in my shop too. So, I was very excited when Arounna of Bookhou emailed to say she and her friend Roisin Fagan, another fantastic Canadian based designer, have teamed up to create a new line called repeat.
The store just launched today and is home to fantastic eco-friendly fabrics in gorgeous designs that are hand screen-printed onto hemp/organic cotton blends, organic linen or linen/cotton blends. All are printed with solvent free ink in perfect color combinations. There are buttons too, and badges and more goodies coming soon.
