A few of my favorite things...

I was in MN a few weeks ago and am just getting around to posting some of my favorite finds, both are from IKEA.

I have loads of ideas for this fabric... I'll keep you posted my projects!

UrbanPosture Addition: CLIP BOARDS

Please welcome the newest addition to our oh-so-lovely, forest-themed paper good inventory:



These clipboards are made from 100% recycled material and coordinate perfectly with our other paper goods! We are working hard on getting them printed in time for our Trunk Show at Ephemera Stationary Studio this Saturday, the 13th of March from 2-4pm. Something I just realized…that’s the same days as their CUPCAKE DAY!! So, please come out to see us and the gorgeous girls at Ephemera, check out all the new stuff and have a cupcake too!!

yep, more birch trees...

Who doesn't like birch trees? And who doesn't need another throw pillow for a sofa of bed? So I talked Leslie into helping me screen print a few random pieces of fabric and sewed them into pillows as gifts...and if people like them enough, we might just add them to UrbanPosture's standard inventory! So me know what you think!

nothing says love like a good 'hearty' breakfast

Valentine's day fell on a Sunday this year and Sundays are the busy day of the week for Jacob and me. So I knew when I woke up that morning that I would need to do something special for breakfast to say: "I love you, darling". I decided to go with heart-shaped eggs and nice cup of coffee. As it turns out they were the perfect little love note...

wood you be mine?

We finally had a chance to work on this year’s Valentine’s day cards. Inspired by her "Wonderful Woodgrain” post, Leslie created this lovely new design for you to share with your special someone. The cards are available in grey, white and pink and will be exclusive to Ephemera. There are limited quantities, so you better hurry! (Besides, your significant other will be so pleased to hear that you didn’t procrastinate!)

XOXO

Welcome to our NEW KITCHEN!!!

DIY Magazine

Sadly, it is Sunday evening and Mondays morning is inevitable. Just thought I'd post some recent UP promotion. DIY Magazine is a wonderful source of projects, tips and inspiration. Leslie and I are thrilled to have our wood coasters featured in this season's issue. Have a great week everybody!
