martha stewart gift wrap challenge - vintage portraits

today, on the martha stewart craft department blog we're sharing one of our favorite ways to wrap gifts... using color copies made from vintage portraits. you may remember the first time we played with this idea a few holidays ago. we love the idea of using a signature gift wrap each year. this one will certainly stand out and add some unexpected personality under your tree.

divine pop-up in NYC

we spent the weekend in NYC for the holiday craft sale at the divine studios. we had the best neighbours ever: erin jang of the indigo bunting, sue eggen of giant dwarf and walter & margaux from peg and awl... not bad company!

special thanks to laura kaesshaefer and the crafts department at martha stewart for inviting us.

martha stewart's gift wrap challenge

this year, martha stewart's craft department invited a few of their favorite bloggers (eek!) to be a part of a holiday challenge. inspired by the wrapping arsenal from december's issue of living, we were asked to create unexpected gift wrap using inexpensive materials.

also sharing how they are wrapping gifts this year will be creature comforts, shimtokk, and hello sandwich (killer line-up, right). find more info on the martha craft dept blog and find the schedule for next week's show & tell.

we're excited to announce that FORAGE bow ties can now be found at douglas + bec in auckland, new zealand. we love this shop for it's curated, quirky assortment. 

rebecca snelling and paul dowie who started douglas + bec, were recently featured in M2 magazine in this article highlighting their work/life aesthetic. we love their ability to use clean lines in warm materials with just a few hints of color.

thanks to erin jang from the indigo bunting we're obsessed with this little printer from berg. how have we been living without it? 2012 never seemed so far away.
