Citrus wedding colors make for a bright and happy theme on your wedding day. And one that can be cost effect, as far a decorations are concerned (think center pieces, fruit is cheaper than a lot of flower options).Pairing a bright citrus color with a neutral color is the perfect balance when it comes to bold color choices for your wedding. Often people shy away from bright and bold colors in fear of being too "trendy" and maybe regretting it in the future. However, I believe bright and bold colo …

New hand-dyed ribbons are freshly dyed and restock in the Blue Sky Papers studio! We first started hand-dying the ribbons last year after we were on the hunt for a few specific hues with no luck finding them. We are in love with all things handmade and pride ourselves in doing things the traditional/old fashion way, so dying our own ribbons just made since.  The process is tedious but worth it in the end. It has taken us some time to get the combination of ribbon + dye + coloring just right,  it …

New Leathers are HERE and we are so excited about the new leather we recently launched in our shop. We typically shy away from adventurous colors, not because we don't like them, but simply from a buisness standpoint you need to be strategic about these things. A lot of work and even more time goes into sourcing just the right materials for our products.Leather is durable and stands the test of time, but it is also a natural rescource, therefore, limited and expensive. It's not like you can just …

We handmade thoughtful little glitter hearts for all of our little friends and the teachers we loved at school.My husband and I both have birthdays …

Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, FL is a sanctuary for rescued exotic (big) cats, like, lions, cheetahs, and leopards, etc. You will feel good about spending your money on this hidden gem. It is a more humane option than visiting a zoo, AND it still allows you to get close up to the cats.All of the cats at Big Cat Rescue are in enclosures outdoors. The enclosures are huge with lots of room for the cats to roam and play. They even have two ‘vacation’ zones for the cats that are much larger enclosed field …
