One of my most favorite designs, Mon Chéri, is now available as a notebook at Minted. Each notebook comes with lined or unlined paper and an option to customize the interior. Oooooh la la !

Trick or treat. Trick or treat. Things been ridiculously busy around the studio, but we wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a happy, happy Halloween.

We’ve been keeping this a secret for a while now. But we are pretty excited to launch the Salt&Syrup holiday collection exclusively for MyPublisher. We’ve been working with the team at MyPublisher since just before the summer. It has been unbelievably challenging and wonderful all at the same time.

We can’t thank them enough for giving us this opportunity.

With Greece—and everything sun and saltwater—still on my mind, I can’t believe that I am posting about Christmas in October. But I just can’t wait any longer to share a peek at the new holiday collection at Minted.

I even spied our Stacked gifts holiday card on the Minted homepage recently.

It is hard to believe that only a few days ago, I was eating my way through the streets of Glyfada and Athens, with olives and feta cheese at every meal. Swimming in the Aegean sea. Dancing with the Greeks until 4am. Soaking up the last of everything summer. And just remembering what is like to travel without a two year old.

And while I meant to post a little goodbye inspiration, complete with an island getaway inspiration board, that never really seemed to materialized. So here is my little postcard from Greece. Hugs and kisses.

I’m feeling like celebrating. I’m thinking of cotton candy and paper-cut flowers. Paris in the fall. And vintage records. I’m thinking about celebrating with my family. And running away on holiday to hibernate. I’m thinking about red wine. And curling up with good books.

After more than two years of day dreaming about a new site, followed by a ridiculous number of sleepless weeks and months, I couldn’t be more happy to share the results. The blog is just a little accessory. Promising lots of inspiration, updates and an unbelievable amount of (useless) pretty pictures.
