After a lot of serious thought about my ambitions, values, and future, I have decided to take a different direction with my creative goals.  I am therefore sad to say that I will no longer be continuing Ornari.  I have loved creating these posts, and have found so many great vendors, designers, products, and other blogs through my searches for material.  I am, however, excited about other avenues that I will be taking and will return with an update here soon.

Anyway, good bye, and thank you for reading, for whoever followed this blog.  Have a great, fulfilling 2012.

I’m not really one to post a lot of personal pictures on this website, but I couldn’t resist sharing these ones of my son Jake and his first Halloween.  The costume is from Studio Wren on Etsy.

It is kind of hard to make trick or treating candy look good, since keeping candy in the wrapper is the only option, so I thought I’d make these Halloween bags to make the candy a little more special.

It took me only 5 or 10 minutes total.  I just stamped some small muslin bags using a rubber stamp and black ink pad and put the candy in.  And everything was inexpensive.

I saw these cute felt slippers by OSmanufacture the other day and thought I’d post them today, since they are fitting for the weekend, and they look like they would be great for the fall and winter.   I like that they are both good-looking and made of eco-friendly materials.  They are available here.
