Sometimes it is the little things in life that can bring the most joy. This month, we hope you notice the little joys in your daily life.

August Paint Palette

What's trending?

Royal Blue, Lobster Red, Butter Yellow, Wispy Pink, and Soft Beige — like a seaside kissed by summer's brightest moments.

The Song We Have On Repeat

An oldie but a goodie

With its catchy beat, playful vibes, and toddler-approved danceability, Splish Splash by Bobby Darin is our studio's summer anthem — because who doesn't love a little splish-splash fun this time of year?

Our Current Best Seller

Hydrangea Flat Notes

Our personalized Hydrangea Flat Notes are a customer favorite — they bring a touch of timeless charm to correspondence with preppy blooms and your name front and center.

Wardrobe Staple We're Loving

The Tuckernuck White Tee

A classic style staple for year-round wear, we love the White Parker Classic Fit Tee for its soft fabric, boxy shape, and slightly cropped body. A flattering fit that can be worn hundreds of ways — under a blazer for the office, with denim shorts and sneakers for weekend fun, and with a maxi skirt and flats for brunch.

A Customer Love Note

"Love these cards! They arrived earlier than expected and they're so cute. The quality is great, definitely perfect as our 'Thank You' cards from our beach wedding."

— Mika'l

A personal little joy

"My (almost) two year old toddler, Adeleinn, sings all her bedtime songs with me at the top of her lungs when it's time for bed. It isn't quiet or calm but I'd listen to her little voice any day and I'm soaking in these moments as long as I can."

Our fave new product

Trends we are loving

Lobsters

Lobsters are having their moment — and we're all in with playful prints, cheeky cards, and coastal-cute gifts that bring the clawsome fun.

My favorite thing about August is the slowness at the start — those golden, slightly lazier days where the sun lingers a little longer, the pace softens, and there's time for one more iced coffee on our screened-in porch, one more dip with the family in the pool, and one more date night in my favorite sundress. But there's also this buzz that comes toward the end of August — the University of Kansas just two blocks away from our house comes back to life as students return, and we can hear the sororities singing for recruitment week. The air is full of energy and anticipation, a mix of summer sweetness and the anticipation of what's to come in the fall. — Liesel Anne
