Sweet Gift Idea...

One of the many terrific things about my job is hearing from clients the fun events they'll be using my invitations, cards and stickers for. This past week I received a large request for personalized square stickers with 3 of my garden designs on them. They all were to say the same thing: For Lily, with love... So I double checked with the client to make sure they didn't mean to type: From Lily, with love...  since my stickers are often used as gift tags. Sure enough the first request was correct and the customer also offered an explanation. The stickers were going out with baby shower invitations. The party goers were asked to write their name on the sticker and attach it to the inside of a new child's book for the special arrival of Lily. This was to be the start of Lily's library! I just thought it was such a sweet idea for a baby shower. Certainly could be used for any age birthday party where the birthday person loves books! But it could also be for those who love music, wine, collectables of one kind or another. As a gift giver, I love knowing my gift is just what the receiver will like, don't you?

I'd love to hear about some of your favorite gifts to give!  

Love is in the Air...

"Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired."  ~Robert Frost


I have always loved Valentine's Day. I have fond memories of my childhood boyfriend who would buy me a book of Lifesavers every Valentine's Day and made sure to include a hand-made love note as well. I loved the smell of the small candy hearts with saying like "Be Mine" on them. And my best friend and I would make homemade cinnamon rock candy and hot toothpicks. Then we would challenge each other to see who could hold the hot toothpick in their mouth the longest. I never won.


Valentine's Day is a romantic holiday for many, but it's a terrifically fun holiday for kids as well. This year at Easton Place Designs I've created a candy alternative to give kids... Personalized Wall Art. That's not to say you shouldn't give your littlest sweetheart a little piece of candy this coming Valentine's Day, but give them something that's personal and lasting too! 

 

In the shop you'll also find fun, personalized labels that can be used for anything from book plates to Valentine  goodie bag labels. 


And for the tween/teen in your life I have several designs of personalized stationery that are a lovely way to say "I love you".


As always, if you're looking for a special card to write your own words of adoration in, my card shop is sure to have something just right for the occasion!

Wishing you and all your special Valentines a lovely day of adoration and sweetness!

Holiday Cards Have Arrived!

I'm so excited to announce 10 new holiday cards listed in the shop! Stop by and have a look!

I've also added holiday labels. They're great for personalizing your gifts and they make a thoughtful gift for teachers and co-workers! You can see them here.

Over the next few days I'll be adding more designs in the labels department and several new stationery designs! The holidays have definitely arrived. Have you started preparing?

Back to School!

I'm thrilled to announce two new products in the shop! Personalized, laminated, luggage tags and personalized square stickers! Both are great for back to school... or everyday needs. Right now both departments are featuring 4 designs: Crayons, Bugs, Plaid Chucks & Cheeky Monkey. New designs will be joining the line-up soon!

I've shown them here as a great way to mark & label all of those school essentials (i.e. lunch box, back pack, folders, glue bottle, pencil case) but they can be customized with up to 4 lines which makes them great for gift toppers, party favor markers etc.

The laminated tags are sold in sets of two and come with the usual plastic band to attach them to your luggage. They also come with metal rings for attaching them to zipper pulls like you might find on your pencil case or lunch box!

The square stickers are sold in sets of 18. They're great for labeling all your books, folders etc.!
