NEW STAMPS IN THE SHOP

I hope everyone had a great weekend! I added 4 new stamps to the shop today that would be great for everyday stationery making and gifts. Check them out below!

Treat Yo Self 

Great for party favors or gifts.

(& yes, I ate the cookies as a post-photoshoot snack)

Hello Darling

Would be cute for making your own stationery or stamping on top of a letter. 

Hey There!

This one would work great as an everyday stamp for envelopes or other snail mail.

XOXO

Such a sweet way to sign off on a letter or add a fun touch to a love note.

Which stamp is your favorite?

PORTER FLEA, HERE WE COME!

I was so excited to get the news yesterday that I was accepted to be a vendor at this summer's Porter Flea here in Nashville. The Porter Flea is a big craft show of carefully curated modern, handmade vendors. I have been anxious to be a part of it for a couple of years now. It seems like such a great opportunity to get my business' name out there and to meet tons of other small business owners in Nashville. This weekend, I'll be planning some ideas for my set up and deciding on quantities to produce for the show with Wes, who has already agreed to help work my booth. :) If you live in Nashville, I'd love to see you there!

This weekend we are also going to (finally) finish up our Spring Cleaning Project and take photos, so I'll have that to show you next week.

Happy Friday, and have a great weekend! xo

HOW TO MAKE YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE PRETTY

Hey guys! I gave the Charm & Gumption Facebook Page a little makeover this morning, and I realized that a lot of you bloggers / small biz owners may wonder how to make these changes to your page (because I didn't know how to do this either at first). Click through for a step-by-step guide!

DESIGNING A GALLERY WALL

As part of my spring cleaning project, I'm working on hanging more art and making our apartment feel more homey. With our new layout, which I'll show photos of soon, there are a couple of really bare walls that are just screaming "Make me a gallery wall!". I studied some of my favorite gallery walls (totally normal way to spend your time), and realized that they usually have a mix of different types of art (not all abstract/typography/etc). Here is a mix of art that I found, mostly on Etsy, that I think would make a really pretty gallery wall:

I like the contrast of the really whimsical photography with the bold colors and industrial-style ampersand. What do you think?
