build-your-own mini pencils re-vamp

i spent a big chunk of time yesterday rephotographing 1 each of almost every single pencil i make.  several patterns that i had been using on the popular build-your-own mini pencil set that i offer have, sadly, been discontinued, and i have finally run out of the paper that i, personally, had in stock of those patterns.  

it's always sad for me to see a pattern go ( they're all so lovely, and i admit i sort of covet them ;) ), but while some styles are gone forever, others have entered the scene!  i am always buying new japanese chiyogami that strikes my fancy and that i think my customers will adore, so, happily, i added several new patterns as available choices for the build-your-own set. 

 

you seriously don't want to know how long it took me to arrange all those pencils just so ;p.

with this update, there are now 54 beautiful pencil patterns to choose from!  get your set of 10 here.

notebook/journal sneaky-peeky part 2

5 notebooks, ready to be listed in the etsy shop!  i'm so pleased with how these turned out.  i think my favourite part is the spine.

i will be photographing these properly within the next few days and listing them for purchase just as soon as i can.  i apologize for the delay, i swear i'm not meaning to tease!  i've got a wholesale order to complete (which takes priority over photographing/editing/listing new items), and one of my husband's family members isn't in good health, so we've been preoccupied planning an impromptu roadtrip to new mexico to tend to that matter.

you can probably expect to see these in their full glory, packaged as gift sets, on monday or tuesday of next week.  meanwhile, enjoy the preview!

notebook/journal sneaky-peeky

i've been busy ironing out the details on my new journals, but i wanted to share a little preview with you (i've been raving about how excited i am about these on the maoiliosa facebook page for ages, it seems!).

5-7 different styles will be listed in the maoiliosa etsy shop early next week, and will make their fair debut on march 24th, when i attend the vista ridge high school spring bazaar (in cedar park, texas).

each expertly adorned notebook (100% earth friendly, i might add!) will come packaged in a clear gift box with 1 matching full-sized pencil and 1 white pencil cap eraser.

check back throughout the next few days for more sneaky peekies on these lovelies!
