Thanks to Design for Mankind for introducing me to this line of office supplies.

I received such a nice card in the mail a little while ago (thanks Shannon). Isn’t it pretty? I love how the orange pops through the background.
I also recently received this paper cut wedding invite (thanks Celina & Wojciech).
These cards reminds me of a some paper cutting artwork that my friend Shannon and I attempted a couple of years ago. We made these pieces (not our original designs) after many hours of drawing and cutting.

Shannon and I always use the word Scherenschnitte, which means scissor cuts in German, to refer to the art of paper cutting because it was while living in Switzerland that we first learned about and attempted it ourselves. Although neither one of us have done any more Scherenschnitte, we do have a great appreciation for those that do as we learned that this art form takes precision, creativity, and a lot of patience.
On the recommendation of Piece of Toast blogger, Molly Bernadette, I went out and bought Essie’s Good to Go top coat last week. I’m so impressed! This top coat dries in no time flat, leaves nails super shiny and seems to also strengthen while it also protects the nail polish underneath. Two thumbs up from me.
In Canada, Essie polishes are now available at Shopper’s Drug Mart. I bought my Good to Go there for $7.99.
Krona & Lion is a Toronto-based creative team of four you may have first met at 2010’s Come Up to My Room (Room 211). I wrote about their amazing white flower installation here.
The fantastic four – Fiona, Jonathan, Kristen, Lisa – are designers, illustrators, educators, and all around talented artists. In addition to the success they had at Come Up to My Room, they have also worked on projects with various stylists and photographers.
Their flowers are whimsical and delightful. Their paper flower bouquets are spectacular!

My mom retired this month after many years of work. She deserves a break and a most special first-birthday-as-a-retiree post. Since she spent the last fifteen years owning and successfully running her floral shop, I think it’s quite fitting to make this post all about one her favourite flowers – the peony.
