She wraps pencils with scrapbooking paper for a custom look! They came all wrapped up! This set is called "Office Lady".
The pencil were sewn up in paper! I always love the look of sewn paper!
Check out her shop at Etsy ! Claudia makes all sorts of darling stationary and stickers. Visit her adorable blog here. I enjoy reading about her sweet family! I love these:
Last weekend, Jim and I had our first weekend getaway! We spent 2 nights at this historic charming Inn in Portsmouth, NH.
The Sise Inn was built in the late 19th century right in the downtown area! We did not take too many pictures this time we we took tons on our previous day visit.
This is my favorite since it looks like a postcard! The sky was perfect for taking this photo.
At Prescott Park free plays are performed. They happened to be performing The Wizard of Oz when we were there. These plays are free to the public....just bring chairs or a blanket and enjoy!
We just stopped by and watched a little of the play. The organization did a wonderful job!!!
Here is some street art in part of the street art museum that we missed last time. The cat one reads "He might look scary but he is my best friend". That piece has such a sweet vibe to it.
We came across this neat serpent in a garden created with a rock formation.
Another garden we walked by was so sweet. The plants were labeled by a rock with the name of it handwritten like this one.
This garden had little "critters" in it for children to seek out. Very cute!
The city was in bloom!!!!
A perfect weekend with my man!!!
