Totally inspired by Sophia Amoruso’s book of the same name, Girl Boss is a series focused on fierce, determined women who go with their gut and create their dream businesses in the process.

I am a total sucker for funny phrases in pretty type, so it should come as no surprise that I’m a huge fan of Grain & Dot‘s fabulous paper goods. With fun, witty little sayings, quotes from my favorite TV shows, and uplifting hand-lettered messages, Brittany Henson’s work is everything I love: quirky, refreshing, positive, and fun.

Check out how she started her own handmade business, how she balances dogs and chickens and working from home, and where she finds inspiration—as well as a special treat for my readers!

So you all know at this point what a big repurposing nerd I am, right? Eco-friendly + cheap = perfection in my book. Well, I came across this video on Poppytalk this afternoon and I absolutely had to share.

As part of the Unconsumption Artist Series (where artists were selected to repurpose things using the Unconsumption logo), Yellow Owl Workshop created this super simple video tutorial that shows you how to make stationery out of all of that annoying junk mail that fills your mailbox everyday.

I don’t know about you, but I’m amazed at the amount of junk mail I get even though I request to get things digitally whenever I can. This is a great way to reuse it, save money, and have super cool personal stationery. Love it!!!
