sweet stamps.

i must admit, i love stamps, labels, tags... not really the generic ones that you buy at the craft store... but i've seen some pretty neat ones over the years, and i love making them myself. found this shop, sweetpaperie, through a blog i stumbled across called heart of light (lovely blog, btw).  sweetpaperie has some pretty fantastic stamps that would be great gifts for anyone with a new home, the bookworm or the cook. or just for yourself. i am so very tempted to purchase one for us (even though we already have a really cute self-inking stamp from threedesigningwomen). but... since we really don't know much about the future right now, i think i'll have to hold off for a little while on a new stamp. oh well. i can think of a few people that these would be great gifts for...

oh and another great thing about these? you can get them self-inking or not... so if you have some dark envelopes (say invitations or announcements) that would otherwise need a label, you can just buy a silver ink pad! hmmm, i can think of some uses for that...
