Then & Now

by Sara McNally | October 24th, 2011

Brad and I wandered into our favorite Pioneer Square antique store, Fairlook Antiques, on lunch break the other day. We knew better. We knew it was dangerous. But we did it anyway. And, as usual, we walked out with goodies.

We were really excited to find this Seattle postcard (left), showing the view up Cherry Street from 1st Avenue. The first building on the left is our new building! I took this iPhone photo (right) from approximately the same spot. I love seeing how little has changed! Continue reading  ☞

Sick

by Sara McNally | October 18th, 2011

Last week, I spent several days at home, sick in bed. It’s not surprising that I got sick… Stress + Long Days + Change of Temperature = Sick Sara. I’m finally back at work, but i’m still sniffly and hoarse. So, in light of that, here are things that make me feel cozy when i’m sick. I’ll get back to serious topics when I can stop carrying a box of tissues around with me. (By the way, these are the best thing to ever happen to noses.)

Working Hard or Hardly Working

by Sara McNally | October 7th, 2011

In many ways we’ve been working much much harder than usual (late nights, long days, lots of manual labor): hence, the working hard.

Soon the new studio will be in order and we’ll be back to printing – but for now, here’s an update on what we’ve been doing in the meantime.

Fall-o-up

by Sara McNally | October 3rd, 2011

A few weeks ago, I blogged about our “first day of fall” party, and I wanted to follow up with some info about how our baking & crafts went!

I wanted a fall wreath for our front door, since this is our first season with an actual (non-apartment) front door. But I wanted it to be somewhat year-round friendly – less pressure for other new wreaths! Although, after making this one, I’m ready to make more. This one took me just the afternoon to make, and it was so fun! I originally saw this type of wreath here, and used this tutorial to make the flowers. I liked this yellow (been digging it lately – just made a scarf in this color too),  but wanted to break it up with some cream. I made several different types of flowers, and switched up the size as well. I’m really happy with how it came out, and it makes our front door so cozy! Continue reading  ☞
