Some Positive Posters

I love these free printable mini posters from Oh My! Handmade...

I first saw the phrase "don't compare your insides to someone else's outsides" in a comment on someone's blog sometime last year and it has really stuck with me.

It is SO easy to get caught up comparing yourself (or your house or your life or your blog or your business) to other people (and their apparently perfect houses, lives, blogs and businesses)... when in reality they've probably got as much stress and mess and general chaos going on "behind the scenes" as you do.

I will definitely be printing one of these out for my studio wall! Click here to read the original post on Oh My! Handmade and to view and download a printable version for yourself.

Vintage Glass Christmas Ornaments

Look at these lovelies!

I borrowed them from my mum to use as props for a couple of photos, and couldn't resist taking a few snaps just of the ornaments themselves as they're just so gorgeous.

I love how the boxes have the original prices still on them. 35p!

If you're a fan of vintage baubles, you might like these super pretty free printable ornament gift tags from Little Paper Dog:

Those tags would make sweet ornaments, don't you think? Or you could make some felt baubles with this ornament tutorial which I shared last year.

Lots of Gorgeous (Free!) Printable Gift Tags

The other day I thought I'd "quickly" search for some nice free printable gift tags and I fell down a bit of an online rabbit hole of Google-ing! So I thought I'd share my favourite links here and that way you guys get some free printable tag ideas you've maybe not seen before & I can just search my blog for this post next time I want some tags to print :)

Just click on the images to visit the original sites & download the files to print the tags you like. 

Rather predictably, lots of the tags I liked involve birds!

Winter birds by Rebecca Kallem.

 

Festive bird tags & placecards by Geninne.

 

 Christmas tags from Sea Urchin Studio (love those doves!).

"Vintage" bird-inspired tags from Lilac & Lavender.

 

And I think I may have linked to these birds by Lisa Rupp before? Well, I still like them so I'm linking to them again!

 

Also rather predictably, I liked the tea-themed tags too...

Teabag tags from Love Mae.

And colour-it-yourself printable cards from Creature Comforts - the cards are great, but you can also cut out the teacup design to make teacup tags.

I spotted a whole bunch of lovely tags for Christmas / the Holiday season with hand lettered designs - perfect for adding a slightly more friendly & personal feel to your gifts without having to develop perfect neat handwriting overnight.

Typography tags by Eat Drink Chic.

Holiday tags from Love vs Design.

Hand drawn tags from Hey Look.

 

And some very fancy Calligraphy tags, by Meant to Be, for SHIMTOKK

Finally, I spotted a whole bunch of tags with a crafty theme...

Mitten tags by Caitlin Keegan

 

Tags with a knit-inspired design from Eat Drink Chic

Tags for knitters from Laylock. These tags are designed for knitters to use when gifting handknits (with space for adding washing instructions, etc) but I think they'd also be great for wrapping gifts to crafty friends and the mitten tags could be used for any Christmas gifts (just remember to cut off the panel for the washing instructions!)

Tags for handmade gifts, from I Still Love You (you could also use these tags when giving homemade cookies, etc).

This vintage image from Graphics Fairy would also make a great sewing-themed tag.

And last but by no means least, here's some tags I've linked to before but which are still very lovely - vintage button & vintage trim tags from doe-c-doe.
