Mock Gift Certificates

Hey friends! I had my first major mom-DIY-fail this week. Seriously, I’m a terrible crafter. Awful. Anyway, I had lofty dreams to make some cutie stepping stones with Eva’s hand print and mosaic tiles. Long story short, it was a hot, soupy mess. I cried. Dugan looked at me like I was an idiot. I cried more.

Anyway.

Lindsay Letters doesn’t offer gift certificates. I think gift certificates are perfectly lovely, but I’ve always thought it was maybe a little funny that when someone gives you a gift certificate for an online shop, you still have to pay shipping. But at the same time, I think gift certificates are cool, because you get to choose exactly what you want. So I got to thinking about a solution, and I think I’ve found one. Introducing, the Lindsay Letters Mock Gift Certificate Download. Ta-da!

Bascially, it’s a little certificate you print & gift that simply a sort of promise-to-purchase voucher. There are several versions of it, and the download is free. You can either attach the digital art into an email and send to your loved one, or print it out and package it in a cute envelope. The giftee then tells you what he or she would like, and then you go to the shop to purchase it for them. Nifty, huh?

Now, if the “We’ll Do it For You Stepping Stone Store” only had something similar…

Happy Early Mother’s Day to all you fellow Mammas out there! xo, L (p.s. Don’t forget that there’s free shipping on all shop orders now through Sunday! Coupon code: LOVEMOM).

Glitter & Flourish!

Hey friends! Last month I worked on this collaboration piece with Liz of Grey & Scout. We were so happy with how it turned out, that I decided to add it to the shop!

I was so pumped to see that the canvas made it on the Glitter Guide’s Best Mother’s Day Gifts Under $150 lineup yesterday. WOO HOO!

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. D and I were at our local garden center and I asked him to snag a few butter yellow Adirondack chairs for me. Say what you will about how they look, but man are those babies comfy! What’s on your Mother’s Day list? If you know a little one who is still in the market for a gift for their leading lady, check out the newest download in the shop –> A NOTE FOR MOM.

Hoping it brings joy to Mamma’s everywhere! Have a wonderful day!! xo, L (p.s. Headed to Shauna’s Book Release Party tonight! Special announcement coming soon! Eek!!!!!)

carley beimel - Hello! I was wondering when the prints will be available for the bread and wine collaboration and which quote will be featured. I am hoping to get this as a mother’s day gift!

Thank you!

Lindsay Letters Baby & Kids Line!

Hey friends! It’s LIVE!!!!!!!

lindsay-letters-shop_carousel-babycarousel5

If I hadn’t actually once been in labor, I would have definitely said launching this little collection was like labor. But I have been in labor. Long, excruciating, 25 hour, 2-epidural, back labor… and really, this was nothing like that. BUT! It was definitely hard work that came straight from my heart. Inspired by good childhood memories, our own little 16 month old Eva Love, and all my friends’ little ones, I set out to make a line that was as full of life and hope as they are. I’m super proud of it. I can see kids I love faces’ in each and every piece, and I hope they leave you feeling just as joyful as I felt making them!

So if you have some time, please stop by the shop and check it out! –> Lindsay Letters // Baby & Kids Collection. As always, I’m beyond grateful for your support!!! xo, L

p.s. A HUGE thank you to my friends at Locust Street Press & Rockford Art Deli for the beautiful printing, Fabulous K and her fabulous canvas styling (she’s my new favorite person), Kayla C. for making all my canvas dreams come true, Chrissy for her stationery styling magic, and Laura for STILL helping me out, even from KC. LOVE LOVE LOVE to all of you! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Jessica Dolan - Hi, do you do custom prints? I would live to have Deuteronomy 6:6-9 in your fabulous lettering. Thank you!

Lindsay is not doing custom work at this time but we will keep that verse in mind!
Thank you!

My husband is hot + smart + funny + kind to small animals.

Hi! Just wanted to take a second to brag on my husband. He’s the best husband & dad ever, and he’s an amazing, amazing communicator. Take a look at this video and his website if you feel like laughing or crying or learning about God or being amused in general. xo, L

Wed Loft: Vendors We Heart

Hi hi! I am thrilled to have been asked to be a part of the Wed Loft “Vendors We Heart.” Yay! It’s fun to be heart-ed. Please stop by and check it out if you have time (and if you heart me, too). –> We Loft Vendors We Heart – Lindsay Letters.

Also, I did want to give a quick update about the Lindsay Letters custom address stamps. It has been my absolute pleasure to have been creating custom address stamps for several years now. I love that you love them and I am so grateful for their success. However, I have decided that as of today, the custom address stamps will no longer be available for purchase. This was a tough decision but my heart’s desire is to continue to add fun new products to my shop, and I only have so much “creating” time available to me. I’m sure you understand! Thank you so much for your love and support of these little stamps. Regarding all stamps that have already been ordered, no worries! I am excited to finish up those orders and get them on their way to you. If you haven’t yet, you will receive a proof soon. If you missed the chance to order one but still find yourself longing for your stampable address, please visit sweet (super talented!!!) Molly’s shop –> Molly Jacques Illustration & Design. You’ll love her stuff, I promise. (The stamps are right here). Okay, on to funner things!!!

• I have a new “NEW!” section in the shop so you can see at a glance the recently added pieces (xo, Ran!)
• Among the new things is a classy new color combo in the Whatever is Lovely Art Print, black & gold.
• This downloadable print is becoming wildly popular. So thrilled you all like it! –> Unity Print
• Starting to work on BABY!!! Cannot wait to show you! Everything will be up for your viewing pleasure on April 1.
• Do you follow me on Pinterest? You should. And I should follow you. And we can look at pretty things together.
• I’m making this for dinner tonight –> Kale & White Bean Soup

Hope you have a lovely Thursday! As always, thanks so much for your continued support & encouragement! xo, L
