I am loving this cute little pumpkin stationary from Winifred Studios! I love the different patterns on the pumpkins!
The other day I spotted a little cardigan I hadn’t seen yet on our website, and I think I’m in love! Check out the Colonel Sparkle Cardigan and all the colors it comes in below!
Above, the cardigan is shown in Olive Heather.
Here is the cardigan in Charcoal.
Finally, the cardigan in Blue Heather.
I just love this sweater! I think it is so cute! Which color do you like it in best?
Meet Porter! He is the doggy of our Web Production Manager, Kate, and a very popular guy around the office!
Name: Porter
Nicknames: Porter Pie, Porter Pup, Puppy Love, Porty, Little Dog, Little Man, Al Jowlson, The Most Tragic Dog in the World, Mister Dog
Breed: Lab with a smidge of either pointer, border collie, or something spotted
Likes: Every dog he sees, chasing his feline roommate Franny, stretching after a nap, making his mom feel guilty with that sad puppy face, grandma & granpa’s house, sleeping in bed with his humans, carrying and eating sticks
Dislikes: Walking past the dog park without actually going in, going somewhere he doesn’t want to, watching his mom walk away, having to be inside the office and not out with his buddies in the play yard
Favorite friends: Agnes the dog, Guaya the dog, his ladies at work, Casey the person, his grandpa Ken
How did you meet? We’ve wanted a dog forever and after buying a house we finally had the space we needed. We met Porter on the first official day of our search and went back to the shelter three times that week to make sure he was really “the one.” The minute we got him home I felt 100% certain he was.
Anything else you want to share? Although I haven’t quite figured out how to live my normal life with a dog around, he really is such a good little boy. Everyone tells me they can’t believe how calm he is, and he’s so sweet with everyone – kids, elderly people, tiny dogs, everyone! Sometimes it’s really hard to resist the temptation to just cuddle him all day, I just love him so much!

Soto Softies provided step by step instructions for this adorable bat finger puppet! I love him! He’d be such a cute Halloween gift.
They even provided a PDF pattern. Check out the blog for more pictures.

Hi! Thanks for including my bat tutorial on your blog. You're right! He does look like a little deer before the wings, which gives me an idea.... I'll be posting more tutorials on my blog for the upcoming holidays, so please drop by. Thanks again!

Hi Lizzie, Thanks for your comment! We did an entry a while ago about our relationships with our factories. You can get some first hand information from one of our designers that worked from Hong Kong. View it here.
Meet Alissa, one of our Assistant Wovens Designers! I wandered over to her desk today, and was thoroughly entertained by all the cool stuff she has there!
The little matchbox with the “3″ on it says “Fosforus” across the top. I don’t know why, but I think that is neat! :)
One the left of the nail polishes is a little tiny cake! It’s so cute! It was a birthday gift to Alissa from another of our Wovens girls, Pattra! Alissa also really loves the envelope in the back because it was made for her by her boyfriend.
Do you see the cute little birdies sitting along the top edge of her desk?! So cute!!
The woodcarving was made by Alissa and her boyfriend.
These are crazy computer speakers! I love them! They were a gift from her mother.
You might recognize the picture in the middle from our Halloween video- it’s Alissa and her little brother dressed up for Halloween!
Hooray! Thanks for sharing Alissa!

Looks like the "forforus" is a play on the word phosphorus - see below from wikipedia. Robert Boyle was the first to use phosphorus to ignite sulphur-tipped wooden splints, forerunners of our modern matches, in 1680
It’s a very rainy day here today, and it’s got me wanting these umbrellas extra-much! They are so fun and cute!

I love this hand-drawn knot font! You can have it for yourself at HandMadeFont.

On this past Friday, one of our accessories designers showed off her Halloween costume for our viewing pleasure, and turned briefly into a robot!
The robot waited for a turn at the color copier, like so many of us do…
It also needed to approve some fabric swatches.
Home-made costumes are the best!

Hey Christine! I talked to our robot girl, Sarah, and asked her how she made the costume! She said she just got two cardboard boxes - one big enough to fit herself into, and another smaller one to put on her head. Then she took some aluminum foil and covered them both, and made holes in the appropriate places. For the rest, like buttons and such, she searched on Google image search for "robot costume" and got lots of ideas from other people's costumes! You can go hog wild and put whatever extras on that you like! Good luck! :) And Happy Halloween! xoxo p
I love the looks of this book shop in a greenhouse in the garden at The Wapping Project, a hydraulic power station that’s been converted to a contemporary art space and restaurant.
The architect writes:
“As an only child I lived in my books and still have every one of them. I also ran a shop in a dis-used hen house at the bottom of our ramshackle back yard where I sold jars of soapy water to myself and imagined who I would be” smiles Wright. “Now I’ve made a tiny glass bookshop with a coal fire, selling the most beautiful books, where everyone can browse and imagine who they might become, while others watch them through the glass and imagine who they are.”
Check out a complete article on the space on Dazed Digital.
As many of you may already know, the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team has gone to the World Series! They have now won four games, and need only one more win to be the World Series champions! Tonight, they play at home here in Philadelphia, and tonight could be the night! Excitement is at a fever pitch, and everyone around the home office has been showing off their Phillies spirit! They all look really cute too!
Yes, that is her ticket to the game tonight! She is one lucky girl!
Go Phightin’ Phils!
