Christmas Shopping With Lindsay Letters

I know I know Thanksgiving hasn't passed but I have to tell you I am almost down with my Christmas shopping!!!! I have a couple things to still pick up and I was waiting for a couple of my favorite artist to put up their Christmas collections before I purchased because they are worth the wait. You see, I love to support small handmade businesses this time of year. This is in fact what leads to the early shopping, I can't just run to the mall and pick up the perfect gift, yes I could get an "ok, this will do.. " but I love searching out THE PERFECT gift for those special people in my life and that takes a bit of extra time, ..... but friends... it IS worth it!!! I wanted to share with you today one of my favorite places to pick up goodies!!!

Lindsay Letters not only makes the most amazing prints but also is one of the SWEETEST most generous people you will ever meet, now what is NOT to love about that?! This is someone I purposely support this time of year, I believe in her, I believe in her art and I believe in the smile on my face when I walk past any thing she has made.

So what are we waiting for? Let's look at some of my favorites form her holiday collection this year!!



I love this print, like to a million pieces. I mean, it's totally ok to buy MYSELF a Christmas present as well, correct? Oh..... hunny!? 



Oh Gold, I do love you. I love the message of this sweet print and I think it is the perfect reminder for the reason for the season. 



Watching Elf on Thanksgiving is one of your holiday traditions and it seriously NEVER gets old! I love that you are instantly in the holiday spirit after watching it. One year it was even so inspired to make a paper snowflake garland that covered our room in a similar (not as fantastic way) as Buddy's store make over! 



I have these and love them to pieces they are perfect for making a quick holiday card or a custom Christmas tag, just LOVELY!


Whatever you choose from Lindsay you are sure to love, I hope you find the PERFECT gift for that someone special (or yourself) in your life!!

I am kinda smitten with this print! I makes me want to jump in a huge pile of fall leaves and make some hot apple cider. It makes me want to snuggle under our favorite blanket and watch a chick flick. It makes me want to CREATE! There is something about fall that I find to be SUCH an inspiration. How about you? So today I wanted to share 14 things that are inspiring me RIGHT this very moment!!

1. Vintage ephemera | Come on folks... is there anything better? I have been going through my Grandmother's scrapbooks and just soaking up all the GREATNESS of these old papers. 

2. Color Theory Paint | You really have to try it if you have been holding out, what are you waiting for? The creamy texture is just perfection, and the colors SC comes out with will leave you inspired!

3.  Woodgrain Hearts | When I am just not sure what to use a big old heart will always do the trick!

4.  Buttons | Oh buttons, how I adore you. They are the perfect item to finish off a fall project! 

5. Acorns | because, acorns = love. 

6.  Funky Wood Veneer | We are talking totally unique only can be found in Ashley's AWESOME class kinda of unique. Who can resist that cat? I don't even like cats!!!! <-- don't tell anyone I said that!

7. Teen Tiny Vintage Books | I pick them up whenever I find them because they are perfect for a little collection of acorns, or a frog with some vintage photos peeking out!

8. Color Theory Ink | Specifically this color of lime light, I want to stamp it on EVERY.SINGLE.BIT!

8a. (because I forgot to put a label on it) Fall Sentiment Tape | I have considered picking up another Project LIfe kit just got this tape, don't judge. Once you have it in your hot little hands you will understand and we will be best friends again!

10.  Photos of those I love | because that is really what this is all about, right?

11.  Ribbon | I am lucky that the nice ribbon store in town is open mainly when I am working or I would be in big trouble. I LOVE the texture it adds to any project and this color is just YUM!

12. Funky Pumpkins | I LOVE this pumpkin I picked up at our local craft store last year. I adds just a fun touch on a mantle otherwise covered in traditional fall colors. 

13. Fall Art Print | Fall is such a magical time and anything that is inspired by that is just meant to be loved.
