In this digital age of GPS and Google Maps, who needs to keep an entire U.S. atlas in the car?? Mine was wrinkled and bent and about 10 years old. So I salvaged the clean pages to make stationery sets! Now, you may be asking… “In this digital age of GPS and Google Maps and EMAIL, who needs a stationery set??”
Touché.
This frame was a custom order for a wedding gift. The couple had a tropical-themed destination wedding, with a color scheme including greens and corals. What a great way to display a favorite photo from such a special day!
It was a successful May Day for Liz Ohsiek Designs! The weather was gorgeous, and I sold enough to cover the cost of my booth plus a small profit. The vendors around me were so nice, and were happy to give me advice about the ins and outs of the craft fair scene. What more could I ask for??
I had several friends and family come to my rescue in the past few days…. THANK YOU to everyone who helped me set up & clean up, as well as everyone who donated equipment to make my day go smoothly.
I. Love. These.
Similar to my original newspaper coasters, this version is square and oh-so-hip. Huey Lewis would be very proud.
These newspaper coasters have been popular for Treasuries! Last week, Helen from the Etsy shop Sixoclock created a gorgeous Treasury featuring my coasters (and other fantastic newspaper-ish items). Thanks, Helen!

I just registered this week to secure a booth at West Chester’s May Day Festival in Everhart Park. This is my first craft fair, so I’m very interested (and a bit nervous!) to see how it turns out.
Description from West Chester Parks & Recreation: May Day Festival of the Arts is a daylong celebration of the arts held at Everhart Park. Approximately 40 to 60 artists set up booths throughout the park to sell their high quality arts and crafts. Entertainment for the day consists of strolling magicians, mimes, jugglers, a variety of other local dance academy performances and children’s crafts. All day long there is fresh food from local vendors available. Festival attendance ranges from 2,500 to 3,000.
Sounds like fun, and admission is FREE – So please stop by to say hello! xox
