Wishing you a magical 2010!

Whoah, these are just too cool. Found on etsy today, these Handmade Magic Lanterns are fitted with antique 35mm glass slides. The slides date as far back as the late 1800's, the flickering candlelight gives the photos a ghostlike shimmer. Magic! Wishing you all a magical 2010!

New Year's Resolutions (10 for 2010)

Do you have any New Year's resolutions? We usually like to sit down New Years Eve and write down what we accomplished this past year and what we'd like to accomplish in the new year. It's a fun exercise which creates a lot of discussion and puts a positive outlook for the year ahead. Here's a fun take on it (handmade/vintage style).

No. 1. Take risks

No. 2. Have fun
