Wine Table Numbers with Succulent Centerpiece!
Spring is here! Nothing puts me in a springy mood more than revamping my house decor. This year I’m finally hopping on the bandwagon with succulents. Oh how cute they are!

Hopefully I can keep them from dying! My plant history is less-than-stellar.
And of course, if you’re looking for these pretty wine label table numbers, you can find them in our Etsy shop!

Have a wonderful weekend!
NEW! Watercolor Cherry Bloom Invitation Suite
So I’ve found a new love: watercolor. I think I will abandon the computer forever and paint for all my days.
Okay fine, I won’t. But look how pretty!


These invitations are printed on our Banana Paper, which has a nice texture and worn backside. And as always, we can do whatever colors you have in mind. Pretty spiffy, I thought. Visit our website to place your order!

Well look at this- the cutest tequila favor ever! They go perfectly with our Talavera Blossom invitation suite. You can either order the stickers only, or order the whole bottle, ready to fill. Contact us if you’re interested!
