Pleated biodegradable bag

09Jan

I don’t know why, but I’m not much of a purse person, I’m more of a bag lady. So I love these Japanese biodegradable totes — They’re super resistant, recyclable (although, why would you ever throw them away?) and have such pretty pleats and colors. You can buy them on my new favorite Japanese product source here.

Super birthday sale

06Jan

Today is my birthday(!)

And to celebrate, I am offering a one day only sale to my awesome and loyal readers for everything on my Etsy shop! That’s right, I’m shamelessly trying to get rid sell the rest of the holiday cards. Yes, the holiday season is over – BUT – this is perfect for all you über plan-ahead-ers and it’s a whopping 50% off the list price. Just use the coupon code: PRESENT50

The good thing too about holiday cards is that they never spoil; so save ‘em and be all set until next holiday season (and if you haven’t sent holiday cards yet, it’s alright. You won’t be scorned. You just got a amazin’ deal).

Now I’m off to enjoy my birthday breakfast. Happy Weekend!

Pretty patterns

03Jan

One of my inspirations for the new year is simple yet beautiful pattern. Can’t underestimate the power of simplicity and that is what I’m striving for this year…in my life, as well as my designs.

Happy New Beginnings

02Jan

Happy New Year & New Beginnings!

I love this time of year — a fresh start. I don’t really do resolutions but rather see it as getting a new energy flow. Cleaning. Organizing. Getting my creative juices flowing in a fresh way. And I’m ready for it. I have so many ideas in my head that I can’t wait to execute for Bears Eat Berries as well as organizing for it (a new business is a lot of organizing!).

Here’s to new energy and new beginnings.

Have a wonderful holiday

23Dec

Signing off until the new year! Heading out to Pennsylvania for the holiday. I’m excited for family, pine scents, cheeses, long walks, glowing lights, doggies, pajamas, crackling fires, wine, home videos and delicious treats.
Have a fantastic holiday!

How to wrap the perfect gift

21Dec

I am getting close to finishing all the gift wrapping … “wrapping up” as they say. Pun definitely intended. But before I started, I definitely searched on YouTube to how to wrap a gift. Now, I know how to wrap gifts. But I didn’t think I ever had the finesse. Oh baby, now I do. Now I know how they do it! It all makes sense now. And so I want to share it with you:
