A PS Mother-Daugher Collaboration – Tea Towel Curtains
Here at the home office, we’re awfully proud of designer Erin‘s popular Canning Jar motif. However, no one’s prouder than Erin’s own mom! Instead of the typical cafe curtains that most use on their kitchen windows, Erin’s mom Daryl has always used tea towels. And of course, when the opportunity to use a tea towel featuring her daughter’s design presented itself, she immediately seized upon it.

Paper wall art
My dad is a pretty handy guy, and so growing up, I was always encouraged to build, tinker and create. I remember as a little kid I was always outside in the tool shed with dad (yep, I was a daddy’s girl!) while he was working. Sometimes he’d give me a piece of wood, a handful of nails and a small hammer, and there I’d sit, hammering nails into the wood, and then sometimes finishing off my “project” by stringing twine around the nails. Now, all grown up and living on my own, I still go to dad when I need help constructing items to decorate my living space. And, of course, since I work at Paper Source, I have to incorporate paper! This is my favorite home decorating trick: paper-covered wall art.
