We’re a bit bunny obsessed in my casa. Did you know that we adopted a sweet Holland Lop rabbit back in November? Yep, Sherman is our new buddy and our pug/beagle mix, Ula thinks she is the bee’s knees (yup, you read ‘she’ correctly, her gender was misidentified twice – c’est la vie!). My Instagram feed is littered with photos of our two sweet fuzzy buddies, if you’re interested in getting a glimpse, or two.

Today is the last post in our “Holiday Cheer” series and I’m excited to say that it comes along with a generous giveaway from two of my favorite ladies at Two Trick Pony. If you didn’t get your Hanukkah or Christmas cards in the mail, there’s still time to send a cute card welcoming the new year!
To enter the giveaway:
First, like Two Trick Pony on Facebook and while you’re there, head over to the Crow & Canary page and like or comment on the giveaway post at the top of the page. Really, that’s all. We’ll randomly choose one winner on Friday afternoon and announce it on the C&C Facebook page.
The winner will receive their choice of a Happy New Year boxed set AND Two Trick Pony’s much lauded 2012 Year of Type calendar. Just a reminder: Comments on this blog will not be considered an entry.

I’m all about the details of gift wrapping, you can so easily elevate a small gift with dazzling presentation –
Knot & Bow is clearly of the same mind. Their shop offers a lovely assortment of supplies and embellishments. Knot & Bow was a featured Etsy seller this summer. I highly recommend reading the interview
here, quite an inspiring evolution.

How clever are these chalkboard gift tags from
Kate’s Papergoods? I would love to embellish my holiday gifts with the large gold arrow tags! Also, digging Kate’s two
illustrated calendars, both feature color themed objects and would look great framed.

Blackbird Letterpress has the perfect gift offerings for the letterpress lover or bibliophile on your list. I love the idea of themed collections as a gift, such a great idea! The upcycled vintage book cover datebooks are a super awesome collaboration with
Gutwrench Press. The pages inside are printed with both handset type and photopolymer plates – quite an undertaking, with stunning results.

I had the pleasure of meeting
Kimberley in Chicago this weekend for some planning for our New York International Gift Fair debut next month. More on that soon! Kimberley mentioned seeing
Banquet Atelier & Workshop’s stunning holiday collection at
McNally Jackson recently and I simply had to share them here on the blog. If you haven’t found the perfect holiday card yet, these may be your solution. See the entire collection
here.

Jill K in LA totally had me at SCRATCH and SNIFF. Perhaps it’s a childhood nostalgia thing, but I can’t resist it – combined with her block prints it’s pure magic. And if you’re a fan of
A Christmas Story, (fess up) check out her
“Sexy Lady Leg” stocking.
