Update | 4.28.2014 - Graphic45 Halloween, Pink Paislee digital, New SImple Stories

Here in Florida, spring is over and the summer heat is upon us while the rest of the country enjoys beautiful spring days. This is when you pay us all back for our beautiful winters!

Lots of mid-season releases are rolling in...let's take a look at a few!


I'm pretty sure that Graphic45 wins the prize for the earliest release of a Halloween collection in 2014. Their new collection "An Eerie Tale" will be shipping to stores in May, featuring traditional black, orange, green and purple with their signature detailed vintage look:

In addition to the Graphic45 Halloween line, the company is also debuting a travel-themed collection called "Come Away With Me". That collection will feature shades of blue, coral and brown with motifs for all different modes of travel, heavily featuring maps and vintage transportation modes.
