thoughtful design + gifts

Happy Friday!
I was looking for a good gift the other day and came across some fun idea's that I wanted to share with you.
No matter if you need a gift for wedding guests, mothers day, birthdays, holidays or thank you's, it can be hard to know exactly what to get for someone and to stay within a budget.
These are thoughtful little treasures that anyone can put together.

Quick bread in a bottle: Beautiful and yummy.

Potted succulents: We have seen this a lot but what makes it unique and special are all the different vessel idea's out there. I love this one. Take an old vintage tin and coffee cans and bring it back to life with a little succulent garden.

Local Honey: Nothing is tastier then local honey. It is a gift that keeps on giving until the last drop.

local coffee: There are artisan coffee roasters popping up everywhere and boy is their coffee delicious. Wrap some up in a well designed package and you have an excellent and perky gift.

obsession: xenia taler

I just came across Xenia Taler, a very talented artist. What made me stop, were these different tiles that fit so much into the spirit of Camp. The knot tile goes right along side our knot book that we sell in the Camp Wandawega store! She has created tiles with a campfire theme, arrowheads, fish-
How do we not just scoop these all up?

mothers day loot

Mothers day is right around the corner, friends. It's time to show your mom's how much you love them, with something sweet and memorable.
Here are a few cards and gifts that I have been coming across, that I think would make any mom glow with happiness.

mothers day cards: They always make them go "aw" and always melt their hearts. So make sure to get them one!

Small Gifts to say I love you.

Odelae: hand bound journals. Beautiful and original love. 

Schoolhouse Electric: Fill one of these trophies with a beautiful flower arrangement. This way your mom gets to smell the roses and win a trophy!

Royal Botanicals by Ariel Dearie: Get her some calming bath soak for those times she needs to relax.

Cities in Dust: A modern twist on elegance. These earrings will make her smile from ear to ear!

Camp Wandawega: The Iron Scoutmaster has a long history of family and honor. Mother's are the scoutmasters who pick you up and brush you off. Get her something that lasts as long as her love and is as reliable and her hand. 

herron clothier

Though spring is near, it is still cold and windy here. When browsing around on my favorite sites I landed on  Dee Clements company Herron Clothier and felt cozy immediately. Hand woven with tender loving care, these scarves, gloves and wraps will ensure that you are warm until the spring sun comes out. I get so excited when I see people doing amazing things. Keeps me motivated!

Even better, I hear she will be teaching some weaving classes around the states. You should stay tuned to her blog to see when and where!
