Holiday Craft Project

It's a holiday weekend and aside from working at the store today, I just might have a little time on my hands. What better way to spend it than to make something sweet and crafty?

Here at SPUN Sustainable Collective, we carry lots of decorative garlands made by the multi-talented Andrea of Nico Papergoods

89" Garland $15

Keeping up with the same theme, I found a really great blog filled with a ton of fun craft projects called Madigan Made. I was especially inspired by her Summer selection of easy ideas. Here are some pics from her Simple Fourth of July Garland project:

Sew easy!

Sew pretty!

Do you feel inspired yet? Go out and make something....or just kick back, relax and enjoy the holiday!

Mother's Day For Picky Moms

If you're like me, then you dread Mother's Day coming around every year. Unlike my mom's birthday, Mother's Day feels like my chance to show my mom what a great mom she is and how much I love her. I seem to mess it up every year since she kindly asks me for a gift receipt a few minutes after opening up what I thought was "the perfect gift".

This year, I hope to live up to her expectations and not hear her say the dreaded gift receipt question. I'm lucky to have a shop full of beautiful clothes, jewelry and gifts to pick from so I intend to make this Mother's Day special.

Here are some of my picks for your mom (all available at SPUN Sustainable Collective):
