It's been a while since I've added anything new to my Etsy shop. I was tinkering in my craft room yesterday and made some new Frenchy bags and tags. I broke out some rubber stamps, Staz On ink, glassine sacks and tags. I love the nautical look of this one. Note the fleur de lis where north should be. Love it! These pre-strung tags can be tricky to work with. At first, I didn't love...
First Aid Tin
May 12, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
I painted this large, metal tin white last summer. I had originally used some Frenchy decals on it, but they peeled off sometime during the winter. Rather than toss it, I decided to give it a new makeover that I know won't peel off. I really love vintage first aid finds. So I decided to make my own. I printed out an image of the red cross and then used a pencil to outline it...
Numbered Coasters

I was digging through the garage recently and came across more of these bathroom tiles that have been in there for literally 5+ years. I just can't seem to throw them out because you never know when inspiration will hit. Case in point: I whipped up these numbered coasters using them yesterday. I used Staz On ink and some numbered rubber stamps. Once I did the numbers, I felt like they were missing a little...
Someone Made His First Communion
May 05, 2014 / BY Okio B Designs
Been a bit MIA the last few days and sadly, I have nothing in the works. We were preparing for our older sons first holy communion, which was yesterday. It was a beautiful day and the big guy was looking quite dapper - if I do say so myself. =) I did make up some cute favor bags, but of course I forgot to snap a photo of the bag. We had some yummy white...
Cheeky Beach Tote

It might have been raining and chilly here all week, but I was dreaming of warm, sunny days at the beach. After this rough winter, I promised my husband I'd get to the beach more this year. And now I have a super cute tote to bring along with me. I bought this cheeky image off of Etsy a couple of years ago. Using TAP paper, I ironed it on to a tote I picked...
Adding Pretty To The...

...Toilet tank. Yes, I'm posting about adding some pretty to our toilet tank. We only have one bathroom in our four bedroom cape, and to call it outdated would be an understatement. I like to say it's retro, but I'm also the first to admit, it's plain ugly. So I dress it up in random spots to take away from the ugly. I was flipping through an old issue of Country Living when I saw...
