Mailable Picture Frame

by evie s. on March 18th, 2008

Came across this cool idea today–an envelope that can turn into a picture frame. Post a photo or post card plus your message with the ready-made, mailable paper picture frame in an envelope! Open, fold, put up: The 10×15cm picture frame is ready for display. It’s available in white, pink, blue, green and yellow from the online store.

Banksy Balloon GirlI hope everyone has a lovely and romantic day today. I got valentine’s from two special guys in my life, my wonderful husband and my father (it’s somewhat of a tradition since I was little).

A Beautiful Mess

by evie s. on December 13th, 2007

Frozen GardenWhile the ice was pretty, I’m sure glad it’s gone. In its frosty wake, the great ice storm of 2007 left over 600,000 homes without power and lots of damage. Fortunately, we were blessed to only have loss of power and internet for a few days. We are still without internet or phone, so posting may be sparse, but hopefully we will be back in full swing by early next week.

Here are a couple photos from the storm.
