Mommy & Me Tea Party Benefit

Create an unforgettable memory and paint a tea set with your child on Mother's Day (Sunday, May 9th from 11 am - 6 pm). Complimentary cupcakes and tea will be served -- come join us! Download the invitation here and feel free to forward it to your friends: Tea Party Invitation.

20% of all proceeds from this event and 100% of the proceeds from our silent auction held that day will go to Embrace. Embrace is a nonprofit that aims to help millions of vulnerable babies through a low cost infant incubator. www.embraceglobal.org.

All about Mom

Mother's Day is coming soon. Here are some design ideas for beautiful keepsakes to show Mothers (and Grandmothers) how much you love them...

Cover an 8x11 page with the words mom/mother/ma in different fonts and different sizes. Print your page and we have carbon paper for you to transfer your text on to the frames. Use whatever color combinations your mom would like best, or stick to pinks and reds as in our sample. The white background frame has a heart-shaped "bisquie" fused to it. We also have other "bisquie" shapes that can be fused on to picture frames or plates including letters, flowers, people, seashells and more!

New for Mother's Day: this "diner mug" is the perfect gift...especially if it's delivered with coffee in bed!

Check us out in the new movie "Babies"


Focus Features is releasing a new film about Babies! Trailer

Hattie, the USA baby, is a customer at Brushstrokes (Brushstrokes: Moms & Babies) and there is a scene in the film where a mug with Hattie's footprints on it is being presented as a gift. We're excited about seeing the movie at a special benefit screening on April 14th. Invite

The premiere is a benefit for Embrace, a global non-profit organization that has created a low-cost infant warmer for the developing world. 20,000,000 low-birth-weight and premature babies are born each year. 450 of them die. This is a preventable tragedy.

Note: we will be hosting our own benefit for Embrace on Mother's Day: A Mommy & Me Tea Party! Stay tuned for more details.
