Oh how I do love Etsy. How fun are these glasses? What a great gift. I would use these every day when I come home from work for lunch. Except, I have no more room in my kitchen cabinets for glasses. And we definitely have no more room for bikes. Between Spencer and myself, we own six.

Naughty pants

Jenny and I have a booth at the Snow King Christmas Bazaar on Saturday. Along with some cute cotton undies that have this design on the left rear, I'm also selling homemade — HOMEMADE — vanilla marshmallows and hot chocolate on a stick! I am really obsessed with the undies. I gave similar ones to all to my friends who came to my bachelorette party in Las Vegas. They are all great gifts. The undies are $8, so you can give them to all your friends.

Come by and check us out. And if you don't live in Jackson Hole, stay tuned for our Etsy shop. For custom orders, you can always email us at cara@xowyo.com.

I think I want this....

Yesterday I received an e-mail from PaperSource about its new letterpress machine. For $150, it could be a fun way to pass the time at home. But I wonder if it could handle a big job, like these 75 invites we are making for a party next month. I don't want to scoop myself, so here's the back. I can't wait to get it back from the letterpress company!

SCORE!!!

I just bought White and Warren cashmere slippers at 50 percent off. How psyched am I? You may just be one of the lucky gals who gets these for Christmas. And speaking of lucky, that's how I found the deal. Lucky Magazine is allowing readers 50 percent off these fine slippers for today only. Just enter luckydaily1 at checkout. Which colors did you buy?

MSW

So, our wedding is finally posted over on The Bride's Guide. You can also find it at Martha Stewart Weddings. And....it will be on Style Me Pretty on Tuesday. We think this is way cool. And if we were a better blogger, we'd know how to do a screen grab and all that jazz. But that's Jenny's forte, and she's busy right now laying out the newspaper. Meanwhile, it seems the ladies at MSW and SMP kinda went gaga over this:


The elk head was a stamp I had made for $9. We put it on everything, the menus, the programs and the name and escort cards. Honestly, I just didn't have the budget to spend getting all this stuff printed in color. So I had it printed in black, and my sweet mama stamped everything. All 130 programs, 130 menus and 260 name cards. How's that for love? Enjoy!

We are meeting with a bride this week who met her fiance at the Cowboy Bar. She wants a "Jackson image" for her save-the-dates, a la this Bird and Banner suite. I have a feeling we are going to run into a lot of brides who swoon over their invites. So I think our challenge is going to be doing something totally unique with similar images.

We had a local artist, Courtney Leavell, draw this for us. Stay tuned, because Courtney will be doing some work for us in the future, hopefully many of our hand-drawn images. I think her first project, the antler arches, are going to be used a lot. On postcards. On bags. During her days, Courtney can be found arranging flowers and being creative at Lily and Company (she did my wedding flowers). She writes Lily's blog and also maintains her own.

We at xowyo are very excited to have a local artist on board. If Courtney could draw you any Jackson Hole image, what would it be?
