Peanut's Shell is The Peanut Shell

Attention all new mamas out there, and moms to be! You've certainly seen the Peanut Shell around town and we want to tell you we give it a full fledged two thumbs up! Not only do we sell the Peanut Shell, we wear them too. Erin sports not one, but two of these at all times to carry Baby A around the house and around town. OK...that isn't us looking like one hot mama leaning against a Chevy Camaro (photo via the fine people at The Peanut Shell), but that is exactly how we feel when we nestle baby in for a ride in the sling. Free to go, free to do and most importantly, two free hands! Baby loves to be close to mom and mom loves how easy it is to throw the sling in the diaper bag when it's not in use. Small, compact, washable and totally lovable.

Wanted: Margaritas

It's that time of year to knock back a few cocktails in honor of Cinco de Mayo, when people everywhere honor and celebrate Mexican heritage. Here is an invite we love, but don't fret it you missed out on planning a party for today. These are appropriate for a celebration all summer long.

Where We Work

For all you readers out there who have never been in our shop and wondered what it looks like, well, here is a little snapshot of how we work and what we do. This is the custom ordering side of the business, where clients get inspired and we get excited to spread a little stationery cheer. Our apologies for the poor photo quality. Camera Strap + High Counter + Curious Toddler = Bad News!

We'll try to post some new, refreshed photos of the store soon!

Colorfully Framed

We can't resist a bright punch of color to house our favorite pictures - especially any photos involving trips to the beach, margaritas and bright blue skies. (All three at once, prefereably!)

Ladies Love Vegas Too

Las Vegas isn't just for Bachelor parties. The ladies love the city of sin too. Between the slots, the clubs, great restaurants, spas, pools and great shows there is plenty for a gaggle of girls to do and see when celebrating the bride-to-be. These invitations were designed by Amy at Express Yourself and are perfect for getting all the ladies on board for a bachelorette weekend to never forget! It's time for Vegas girls!

Blooming Gifts for Mom

Mother's Day is right around the corner and we have so many great gift options for Mom this year. Instead of giving her flowers that last for such a short time, consider these everlasting blooms:
