Tag - You're It

Who doesn't like tags?  Tags are an easy way to dress up a gift bag, gift basket, or a nicely wrapped present.

Wedding tags are perfect to use as Wish Cards.  Place these lovely cards in a decorative basket, glass jar or hang them from a Wedding Wish Tree

Wedding tags are perfect for accenting your special gift to the bride and groom.  The satin bow can be tied to the special bow that adorns your package.

With birdcages being so popular at the gift table, hang these Wedding wish Tags on the cage so when your guests drop their monetary gift into the birdcage, they can take a tag and write a special quip on the back as to how to have a happy and successful marriage.

No matter what the occasion, Greeting Tags are perfect for writing your message on.  So, the next time you want to say "Thank You" to your special friend, say "Happy Birthday" to a loved one, or give someone a Hostess gift, think of these beautiful tags.  They are perfect for delivering any message you want to send.

Stop by my shop and take a look around, you may find your perfect find !!

Alice Comes Out of the Rabbit Hole

and back into the shop

Everyone loves Alice in Wonderland, that being said, I couldn't resist creating another batch of Mini Love Notes with Alice in mind. The last time I offered these wonderful notes they sold quickly.

One of the things I love about this particular story are a few quotes.  They definitely pertains to my life and the lives of others.

                    “I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.” 

                                                                     ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

                                                                                                                                                           

                    "If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal

                     faster than it does.       

                                                                   ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

                    “Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.”
                                                                   ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

I invite you to stop,  say "Hello" to Alice, as well as me, see all the wonderful items, and remember this ~

                                                    “Either it brings tears to their eyes, or else -"
                                                    "Or else what?" said Alice, for the Knight had made a sudden pause.
                                                    "Or else it doesn't, you know.”
                                                                                  ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

30 Years of Love

Anniversary mini Love Notes

This special project was a joy to create.  This was for a customer who really wanted to share her memories and good times with her husband of 30 years.  

In our busy every day world, we often cannot find the time to accomplish everything we want to.  There are days where my husband and I are so busy with work and special projects, the yard and all of it's demands, our twins needs and activities, we often do not speak until the very end of our day or in the early morning over a cup of coffee.

Our world is full of text messages and e-mails,  we often forget what is like to really sit down and have a heartfelt conversation with our loved one.  When my customer contacted me about a Love Note,  she was first interested in one of my Valentine Love Notes with a little modification from her end.  When I knew what she was looking for, I told her to give me the night to sleep on her idea and I'd get back to her with a couple samples she could choose from.  I wanted these to be special, seeing this was a special anniversary for her.

When I sent her the samples she was thrilled.  She finally decided to take a few ideas from each card and put them into one.  The above card is what she choose and they are beautiful.  I am not only grateful she choose me to help her create special cards for her husband but I am pleased I was able to help her.  She told me in an e-mail she loves to craft, however, she has been putting long hours in at work and she is pulled in a lot of different directions at the moment.

I've always loved helping people and making sure everyone has a smile on their face. Even though technology has somewhat taken over, it's assuring the Love Note between true love lives on.

So the next time you want to send your loved one a heartfelt note, a small quip, a basket of memories, or the three most important words you could ever say to someone ~ consider sending them a handwritten Love Note.  I know they will simply love it.





peace and love to all ~

Adirondack Wedding Wish Cards

A New Path

As in anything, life changes direction and is always taking you down a new path. The same thing happens when you go for a hike in the Adirondack Mountains. One place I love is hiking in the Adirondacks, along with another million people or so during the course of the hiking season.

Circa 2009

I recently participated in a bridal show at a wonderful venue put on by Burlap and Beams in Athol, New York.  Getting ready for the show took a lot, seeing I've never participated in any show since the inception of Nellie and Ruth Designs.  I had a wonderful time and enjoyed the 50 or so brides that came through and took the time to stop at my table to see all I have been working on and all I offer at my Etsy shop.

Adirondack Wedding Wish Cards

After participating, I have decided to go down a new path in my shop. The bridal path.  I've offered my Bourdoir Blessing Cards, which people seem to love, and have decided to create more for weddings.  Adirondack Wedding Wish Cards are brand new to my shop after receiving such a warm welcome at the show yesterday.

Set of 30 Adirondack Wedding Wish Cards & Jar

I have to follow my heart and believe I have found my niche` and what is right for me.  I have decided to create an entire line of paper goods for Adirondack Weddings.  I love nature, the soft colors along the hiking trails, the smell of pine, wildflowers, massive roots that grow over giant rocks, and the challenge each path brings. Whether the path is muddy, steep, slippery, or paved, it's a path I choose to take. A path that will lead me right where I need to be.
