Endangered Species Erasers
The Rhino have become endangered through hunting and destruction of their natural habitats. Kikkerland would like the magnificent animals to be around for a long time to come. Hence these long lasting oversize erasers made from PVC-free TPR.

We hope that when you use one of these erasers you will be reminded of the real thing – big beautiful animals that need your help to survive.

While in Newport, Rhode Island....
a place that defines the word Nostalgia....

nos·tal·gia/näˈstaljə/Noun.
A sentimental longing for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

I was inspired by a friend Ruthie Sommers-- creating water color thank you notes on the beach. 

I have decided to add a bit of nostalgia into my life
The hand written note.....why not Calligraphy
and a wax seal to top it off......AND...if you can do the watercolor...even better!

When we arrived home...my first stop
THE ART BOX
(next to foods of all nations)
I found great inspiration...enough of my txt and facebook thank you notes

The Windsor and Newton Calligraphy Inks....SO Pretty!
 
The Walnut Ink


The Wax Seals
   super cool to create a custom seal with family crest or farm name
  all supplies available at The ART BOX

Inspiring....

Please take the time to support a local business and write a note rather than text or email
It is satisfying to create.....

Thank you to Ruthie....my blog inspiration...
 BTW: Check out Ruthie's house featured in LonnyMag page 128

iDye at the Art Box

One of my favorite places to buy gifts for my friends, and my children's friends is the Art Box in Ivy Square.
 Better than a toy and longer lasting than clothing.  

I must tell you all of an awesome find from the Art Box. 

You can dye anything-carpet, clothing, bed linens, towels...
you name it....you can dye it. 
AND the colors are AMAZING

This is a fun rainy day project.  I dyed a shirt and a cotton wrap and the colors are actually better than the look on the package.

Goodbye Rit Dye Hello i Dye.
Enjoy.
