Twig & Fig: Chinese New Year Cards for the Year of the Dragon

Wow, I have not posted in a long time! Life has been busy, and I've been having way too much fun adjusting to my new job as Design/Production Assistant/Store Manager/

Client Coordinater/All Things Wedding at Twig & Fig {and loving it more each day!}. I really can't express how lucky I feel to be there, and to be able to do what I love for a living!

My design boss Suzie always thinks up fun last-minute projects, so last week she asked me to help her with the design of these small business-card sized Chinese New Year notes, and she found these amazing gold gilded envelopes to go with them. We're now selling them in the store (since Chinese New Year is January 25th!) so if you're in the Bay Area come visit us in Berkeley and grab a pack!

And I packed them up all cute to sell them in the store, with this gold cord we had!

We're selling them in packs of 6 for $7, or two packs for $12, at Twig & Fig.

{Happy New Year, Dragons!}

Saturn Table

My friend Jess worked at Saturn Cafe in Santa Cruz when she was going to school down there, and now she's helping them get ready to open a new location in Berkeley! One of the coolest things about Saturn (besides the food!) is that the tables have things in them! Jess worked on an adorable picnic-themed table (complete with ants!), and she asked for help with completing a second table, so of course I was overjoyed to do it. I have so many tiny knick-knacks that making an art piece out of them seems like the perfect purging solution.

I decided our table (John helped) would be Circus-themed, since I have lots of awesome circus paraphernalia that I probably don't need to hold on to for much longer.
