This post should herald a return to norm, I trust, going forward. A few weeks on the run, work, travel, moving house, it tends to stifle the daily posting ritual.

Christine Schmidt’s Yellow Owl Workshop was my first port of call today when looking for a gift. She has a Californian outfit, selling handcrafted goodies. Stationary, stamps, letter sets, prints and paintings to get you started.

I am captivated, of course, by the designs and products themselves, but almost more so in the packaging for the stamp sets. What is there not to love about the hand-printed muslin bag which clasps each set together so ergonomically efficiently, yet at the same time with quirky aesthetics? Or, as above, the wooden slide box.

Check in on their blog too!
