Our Christmas Elves have been busy

Won't these look great hung by your chimney with care?

Create a set for the whole family or give one as a gift. Perfect for baby's first Christmas, newlyweds starting their own traditions together or a favorite pet.

All stockings are made with a new environmentally friendly felt, called Ecospun, made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.

Find there here on our Etsy site.

For Your Holiday Tabletop

We're so excited about our new holiday tabletop designs. This year you can design a unique plate for each member of your family or create a set for everyone with the same design. Imagine a plate with the whole family in their Santa hats. You can even make a cookie plate just for Santa. And our new trays are just perfect for holiday entertaining.

These uniquely personalized, melamine plates and trays are beautiful, unbreakable, BPA free and made in the USA. We offer an assortment of designs and you have the option of adding the name or text of your choice. Plates are 10" for $35 and trays are 10" x 14" for $40. .

Thanksgiving DIY

With just a week to go, here's a great way to
incorporate silhouettes into your Thanksgiving
table. Just leave it to Martha.

You can download the templates here.
I'm thinking of trying it by putting Pilgrim
hats and Indian headdresses on our family's silhouettes.

No Sleep Til January

The holidays are rapidly approaching, but there is still time to get your custom silhouettes made in time for gift giving. We get lots of questions this time of year about deadlines, given that most people are just starting to do their holiday shopping, but we do our best to allow for a shorter turnarounds this time of year. Like matsutake says "No sleep til January."
