We just got word that our shipment of Emily Ley’s Spring 2015 collection is on its way to the shop! We’ll be receiving almost the entire collection and we’ve already sold out of half our stock of the beautiful, thoughtful, and well-organized Emily Ley baby book:
The price for the baby book is $62 if you pickup in the shop (in Tacoma, WA.) If you order it from us online, it will be $69 to include an additional shipping fee (the box is a bit big and heavy!)
Another item we are super excited about is the Emily Ley Simplified Address Book ($24):
A few other new items in the Emily Ley Spring 2015 collection include signature Emily Ley Stretchy Bands (sold in sets of pink + blue or teal + mint):
A fun set of Emily Ley Great Day Notes to show your family and friends how much you care and think about them:
These perfect-sized Emily Ley Mini Notebooks (Thanks, To-Do, and Notes) that fit right inside the front pocket of your Simplified Planner!
And these Emily Ley Magnetic Page Markers (in blue or teal) that help you keep your spot in your Simplified Planner, book, or anything with pages:
Another post will be coming soon with details on the all new Emily Ley Simplified Planners that go on sale May 6, 2015 at 7am Pacific! We’ll have all 3 cover styles in all 3 new agenda types. They are expected to sell out super quickly. Here’s a sneak peak at the new cover styles and the inside…

It’s no secret we’re big Kate Spade New York fans over here. They were one of the first brands we bought for the shop and definitely have been one of our most popular.
We’ve been waiting ages to get these two new items in and they are finally here! We have very limited quantities thanks to this little lady named OPRAH who named the pens to her 2014 “Oprah’s Favorite Things” list.
the inside of the box reads “she writes to-do lists for her to-do lists”
the cap pulls off and the pen writes beautifully (and accepts standard refills)
the beautiful gift box makes this an amazing gift!
Then our other NEW goodness from Kate Spade New York is this beauty that should make its way onto every well-appointed desk:
Whistle While You Work Tackle Box
Inside this clear tackle box are binder clips (with fun sayings), washi tape, pencils, an eraser, pencil sharpener, notepad with a gold foil accent, and of course, the ever-popular gold Kate Spade bow paper clips and push pins!
Both the pen and the tackle box retail for $36, the perfect price point for a lovely gift to the Kate Spade fan, working woman, and stylish stay-at-home mom!
P.S. We are totally sold out of ALL 2015 agendas and planners EXCEPT for a few more of the 2015 Kate Spade green cheetah agendas (we have some in large and medium sizes). Click here for details!
One of the best parts of this little shop of ours, is getting to meet and know local artists and helping spread the joy of their work around town and across the interwebs. In the past month or two, we’ve met a couple of new local artists from Tacoma and fell in love with their work! The first is Tim Norris and his wife, April.
Tim’s background is in architecture and design, which is clearly evident in his city map prints. He has a passion for people, places, and “making stuff,” he says. So, together with his talented wife, April, they make these amazing art prints that we carry, along with furniture and other design work that encompasses music, art, technology, and lifestyle.
While we’re obviously partial to the Tacoma, Gig Harbor, and Seattle area, Tim also makes his “Heart for a City” prints for many other major cities. (If you’d like one for a city not on our site, just shoot us an email and we can let you know if it’s available!)
Our most popular print in the shop is definitely this new one that just arrived of all the neighborhoods of the Greater Tacoma area, including our neck of the woods, University Place:
And here are a few other pieces by Tim and April that we love as well, all available as 12″ x 12″ prints and as greeting cards (cards are not available on our site but can be ordered and delivered or shipped! Tacoma Heart for a City print cards are available in the shop.)

Coming to the shop this week are three new prints we’re super duper excited about!! They are letterpress maps of Manhattan, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
Each print has been carefully researched, designed and then letterpressed by hand with black ink on beautiful thick white paper by our friend, and fellow Pacific Northwesterner Archie Archibald of Archie’s Press. (Note – the Seattle print also comes in blue ink and red ink!)
Manhattan holds a special place in my heart as I spent over a month there one summer working for Scarlett Johansson as her assistant, and it is one I will never forget! And Los Angeles… well, I lived the majority of my adult life there and it will always be my second home. (And I think I lived in about 20 of the circles on this map!)
And I just love this video of Archie’s and his process. So much love and energy go into letterpress. Enjoy!
P.S. He makes these maps of tons of other cities! If there is one you’re looking for, let me know and we can see if it’s available.
