The cactus notepad, one of my best selling products, is back in stock! Over the weekend, I packaged dozens of new notepads.
We have these scattered around our house - one by my desk to write little thank you notes to customers in their order, one on our kitchen table for quick lists, and my husband keeps one next to his laptop. I think they make a great stocking stuff, too! Find the cactus notepad in the shop here.

One of my favorite products that I recently released is the "What's Cooking" notepad. It's perfect for jotting down a grocery list or noting a recipe. It's long and skinny (3.5" x 8.5") and features hand-illustrated kitchen motifs.
I think it makes a great hostess gift or pop it in a gift basket for your favorite home cook along with a cookbook or your favorite culinary items! Find it in the shop here.

One of my absolute favorite new products I recently launched is the Hydrangea Floral Notepad. The hand-drawn floral arch includes purple-blue hydrangeas, daisies, and roses interspersed with green leaves. The design was originally created as a custom piece of art for a client, and I'm thrilled to be able to share it in the shop now!
The 50-sheet notepad measures 4" x 6" inches and is great for jotting down lists or quick notes. You can find it in the shop here.

One of my favorite new products that I debuted at the National Stationery Show in May was the "Errands to Run" notepad. I am a big lover of list-making and writing down to-do lists, yet found that I always have multiple lists going on different sheets of paper for all of the places I need to go. Realizing that there didn't seem to be a notepad out there that could house all of my different lists one sheet, I decided to create one of my own!
The pad has places for all of the typical places you run errands - the drug store, the grocery store, and quick stops (think bank, dry cleaners, etc.). I also left a box with a blank line for you to write in your own stop - mine is usually Target or the art supply store - and a place to jot down a quick "don't forget!" note.
The notepad is 5.5" x 8.5" - large enough for all of your lists. It was important to me to use paper that was environmentally friendly, too. I'm happy to share that the paper for the pad is 10% post-consumer waste content and 30% recycled content. The notepad makes a great present for busy moms or as a housewarming gift!
