Collaborative Family Art Journal

C.R. Gibson, the company that makes our line, {Enjoy} the Little Things, recently gave us one of their Markings journals to doodle in and share with all of you!

Periodically, you'll be getting glimpses into this collaborative family art journal via our Instagram.  We'll be passing it back and forth between the three of us, so it should be really interesting!  

You'll want to make sure you're following us over there!

To see what other artists have done in their journals, visit MarkingsJournals on Instagram.  

Here's one of the first 2-page spreads I (jill) whipped up, based on a recent popular piece that several teachers requested for their classrooms.

 Next, I passed the journal on to Mama Winger, so stay tuned (on Instagram) for photos of her new journal pages!

Can't wait to see more of what Mama Winger and Green Girl come up with!

Find Things With Wings at the Summer Gift Markets!

Retailers-

We've gathered all of the resources for finding Things With Wings products at the Summer gift markets into one convenient post!

(Now that we're working with a few different companies, it can get confusing.
We thought this might make it a little simpler!)

1st-

Head to the DEMDACO showroom!
The link will take you to a list of the exact locations for Atlanta, Dallas, Denver and Las Vegas.

This is where you'll find "This Thing Called Family" - our longest running line.  In our DEMDACO line you'll find many functional kitchen items, the Mom Rules (wall versions and NEW mini block versions!) the alphabet collection, lots of wall art, and brand NEW for this summer: tea towel/spoon gift sets with coordinating mugs and chopping boards.

Plus much, much more!

New for Summer 2014!

2nd:

Head to the C.R. Gibson Showroom!
The link will take you to more info on exactly where their showroom is in Dallas, Atlanta and Las Vegas.

This is where you'll find {Enjoy} the Little Things.  Included in this line are photo albums, journals, a sticky note set, gift enclosure cards, burlap wall art, block plaques, and more!  Brand NEW this summer - a Christmas collection you'll love!

New for Summer 2014!

3rd:

Head to the Magnet Works Showroom!
The link will take you to more detailed info about where their showroom is located in Dallas, Atlanta, Las Vegas and Minneapolis.

Here you'll find our collection of family-oriented MatMates and Drinkblots. MatMates are an interchangeable mat system that can be used as welcome mats or kitchen mats on their own, but really come to life when inserted into the trays.  You can trade out the art based on the seasons or your mood!

Also at Magnet Works you'll find our family-themed Christmas DrinkBlots!  DrinkBlots are beautiful, super-absorbent paper art coasters that come in notepad-inspired packaging. They are reusable, recyclable and sturdy. One of the remarkable things about DrinkBlots is that each set contains 24 unique designs, so no two coasters in the deck are the same! 

We hope this makes your shopping trip a little easier.
Have a great time!

If you have any questions, just let us know.

Let us know what you order-
And since we won't be there ourselves, take some photos for us!  :-)

Atlanta Market 2014 + C.R. GIBSON

Our new collection for C.R. Gibson is called "{Enjoy} the Little Things!"   It's a combination of paper goods, journals in various styles, photo albums, miniature blank cards and more. 

It debuted in January at the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Market.  We had this cool display right inside the door, in the front window of the C.R. Gibson showroom!

The collection has a variety of sizes of photo albums, journals, and burlap wall art.

These aren't the greatest photos, but the burlap pieces are cool because they have some dimensional pieces to them:

Here they are again on the backside of our display.

On this cute little table they had our trinket boxes on display with the gift enclosure cards.  

Intermixed here and there were some old cameras as props!

I don't know why, but I didn't get any photos of the insides of the trinket boxes! The messages continue on the inside of each one!  (Lucky for you, you'll be able to peek inside each box on the C.R. Gibson site!)

Here's a better look at the little enclosure cards.  They are 2x2 inches, blank inside, and come with a coordinating envelope.  They are just darling!

Here's what the backside of the display looked like:

journals, photo albums, and that yellow book has sticky notes inside!

these cubes are for a few of your favorite snapshots

photo frames

Lock and key diaries

tiny sitting blocks with messages

We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to work with this great company!

If you are a retailer interested in adding this brand new line to your store, visit the C.R. Gibson wholesale site or find/contact your local sales rep.

Customers, wonderful news for you!  This entire collection is now available for purchase directly from the C.R. Gibson website!
