With names like “Dead Sexy” and “Let Them Eat Cake”, we are bound to quickly fall in love with this line as well. And for a limited time receive 3 free mini soaps ($10.50 value) with any perfume and hand cream purchase. This makes a great gift set, and you will also receive a beautiful gift box and greeting card included! This makes the perfect Mother’s Day and teacher gifts!

Artisans work in the comfort of their homes and in the sunshine on their rooftop decks with their families nearby, receiving fair wages, which is hard to come by in Nepal. Each design is one of a kind and is never duplicated. We’ve had so much fun being creative, stacking and combining to match different moods and outfits.  Check out some of our favorite stacks here:


Each bracelet is $15 or 3 for $40

Also available in neutrals, purples, browns, and blacks!

They turned out so adorable, we thought we’d share the how-to here! You can group a bunch of them together like we did, or make one and attach it to a stem…the perfect gift topper for your Valentine!

Paper Rose How-to

1. start with a long strip of paper (about 4”x13” or longer). if you have to, cut a couple strips & glue them together so that it’s long enough. 

2. fold the paper in half 

3. fold the paper down about halfway (not to be confused with folding the paper in half!)

4. fold the paper in half again

5. take the long folded strip of paper and start wrapping it around itself. you may want to twist and turn a little bit so it looks more like a flower instead of just a roll.

6. hot glue the end and you’ll have yourself a rose!

Because of this I have always been a strong believer that Valentine’s Day isn’t just a day to express your love for your husband/boyfriend/lover, but it is a day to celebrate love for everyone in your life. So, every year I make a point to send a card to each of my sisters, my best friend, and of course, my mother. Here are a few of my favorite Valentine’s cards in the shop now.

I love this card for a friend or a sibling. The inside reads “You are on that list. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Light, fun, and to the point.

Although this isn’t specifically a Valentine card – I think this one is so darn cute! Good for a BFF, a parent, a significant other, or any mac and cheese lover. Inside is blank.

This is a beautiful letter press card with scalloped edges. It would fit well for a significant other or anyone else who you just want to know you love them. Inside is blank.

I love this card for friends who are single and anti-Valentine’s Day people (we all know someone like that! ) Inside is blank for your own mushy (or not so mushy) message.

There are so many other great choices in the shop as well! Stop by to see the rest of the selection.

xoxo Katie
