Little Pink Mailboxes for Valentines

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 01:27 AM PST

Hi there, Kami here! I’m thrilled to be regularly posting here on Make and Takes. I’m a big fan of Marie and all the goodness shared daily on Make and Takes.

Okay, let’s get to it!

Nothing says “Happy Valentine’s Day” like little pink mailboxes with little red flags. As an avid thrifting maven, I’ve noticed that little collections start once you are on the look out. Take for instance: Little Mailboxes. If you see them as they are in the thrift store, it’s hard to see the potential. But once they are all lined up with a fresh coat of Gloss Candy Pink and their little red flags up… behold the cuteness!

Here’s a look at some of them before the coat of Gloss Candy Pink. Here is the beauty of thrifting: one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

The options are endless with these little pink mailboxes:

  • Fill them with love notes during the days leading up to the big day.
  • Line them up as Valentines decor.
  • Decorate them with little foam stickers.
  • Deliver them filled with sweets to your sweet.

Make and Takes Gets a New Look

Posted: 21 Jan 2010 01:05 AM PST

Make and Takes has a new look. Yay! We decided to define our brand a little more clearly with our nesting mama bird! This cute little birdie is ready for crafts, food, and fun!

This logo design came from Nicole of We Collective. She illustrated the font, the nest, and little red bird! She creates amazing illustrations, and has a darling etsy shop. Thanks, Nicole.

For the rest of the design, it was done by my all time, ever amazing, rock star husband, Jordan! He built the rest of the website, style, background, and buttons. Thanks, Jordan!

Enjoy the fun fresh new look of Make and Takes!
