Decal Finds a Home: Jen's closet

An old favortie of mine from Jen of Haystack Needle, I love how she's used the Summer & Citrus Garlands. And that gorgeous blue paint! So good.

A quick reminder: Today is the last day to take advantage of the Summer Days sale and receive 10% off your total purchase (our only sale of the year). More importantly, it's also the last day to purchase any of the decals being retired at the end of the day today! All of the designs that will be retired have been marked down and listed with SALE! in the shop. Lastly, the shop will close at 10pm tonight for two weeks while I focus my efforts on the new collection. It's going to be a good one, I think. 

I'm feeling a little nostalgic about retiring a few of the designs, particularly this one, but I'm so looking forward to freshening things up. Some of these designs have been going strong for two years now! Change is good!

A happy day to you, friends!

A few important bits...

Hello, friends! Though I hate to bore you with tedious shop news on a Friday (almost feels like homework!), there are some gems of info tucked in below, I promise!

A quick reminder: There are only 5 days left to take advantage of the Summer Days Sale going on over at the shop. Recieve 10% off your entire purchase when entering the code SUMMER at checkout, through July 31st.

Soon to be retired designs: Additional markdowns have been made on each of the designs that will be retired after the sale. Those designs marked with SALE! will no longer be available after the 31st.

Some of the more popluar sayings featured in the retired designs will be given new life and new garlands when the Autumn/Winter collection launches, but others will be retired for good. If any of these designs has been on your list, now's your chance to scoop one up!

Soon to be retired colors: It's also your last chance to order designs in neon pink or mint. We'll be bidding these fun summer colors a fond farewell after the 31st.

Two weeks away: August 1st - 13th our shop will be closed while we focus our efforts on bringing the new Fall/Winter collection to life. When we reopen on the 14th we'll be sure to include a few new listings to tide you over until the full Autumn/Winter collection launches in September!

Lastly: I hate to sound sales-y, as this email is already overloading you with info, but if you'd like an early peek at the new collection before it launches, be sure to sign up for the mailing list, here. 

Phew! Happy Friday,
Shanna

P.S. The photo above was taken at one of my most recent stockists,  House Envy, in the UK. They just had their grand opening last night (congrats, Nicola!). I thought it a fitting shop to feature on Opening Ceremony day. Can't wait!

Decal Finds a Home: Lucca Valentine's nursery

I came across this lovely photo of the Spring Garland & Beyond Measure Tiding yesterday, so sweet! Even sweeter is the nursery behind the door, and its resident; darling Lucca Valentine.  Take a peek...

Cheers!

Shanna Murray for West Elm!

I'm so excited to finally be able to share a project I worked on for West Elm this past winter: a fun + practical tea towel design with ribbons of kitchen measuring conversions! It was such a joy to be asked to create something for West Elm.

I had a great time working on this project with the folks at West Elm and am really happy with the final product. Can't wait to add it into rotation in my own kitchen, maybe I'll even hang one up near the fridge! Hope you'll love it too - scoop one up here, if you like! 

Happy new week (can you believe it's almost August?)!

lettering and tomatoes

Today I'm thinking of a couple of wonderful clients who are getting married this weekend. I had the pleasure of working on a bunch of different lettering projects for Alix & Christian's wedding and can't wait to see photos of how it all comes together (and to share the finished projects with you)!

The top photo was the early makings of a menu design that would be turned into a stamp. Even now, I'm still craving tomatoes all the time, after writing out that delicious, farm-fresh menu. Congrats in advance, Alix & Christian!
