These charming hand drawn cards by Hello Hello Design had me smiling early this morning. I had the pleasure of meeting their creator, Katie Evans, while in New York this week and she is cute as pie (not to mention terribly talented). I’m particularly smitten with “Say It With Flowers” and “Chocolate Milkshake Greatness” — so simple, so sweet.

I just adore these classic monogrammed gingham note cards from Jack and Lulu. The swirly serif is too fun and the color palette has a great beach-y vibe going on. Perhaps a little something to warm up a your mom/sister/daughter’s stocking this Christmas…?

When my darling sponsor, Molly of Sunshine on a Cloudy Day, posted about these Postcards from Penguin yesterday I knew we were fated to be friends! Each of the set of 100 cards depicts a different iconic Penguin Classics cover. Wouldn’t you just love to mail them to all your cute bookworm friends?

How great is this “ahoy” letterpress card from the Letterpress Etsy shop? I’d argue it’s pretty great.

And this “Nautical Anchor Necklace” by Etsy’s OliviaClare? Equally great.

And this “She wanted to be a sailor” print by Sloeginfizz? I’m a wee bit obsessed.


And this handmade Weekender Tote made of natural vegetable-tanned leather and a blue and white ticking stripe? It’s from the way cool Austin-based DNTX shop (Death in Texas).


Or these illustrated Sailor Postcards by TuttiStudio?



How about this 100% silk, made in Italy, nautical print skirt by DomoJoanne?
Or MissMooseDesign’s sailboat quilt?

How about this letterpress print by SycamoreStreetPress?
Okay, I’m done, but you really ought to VISIT ETSY>
