Paper is fascinating. It's a simple medium that hasn't changed that much over the years, but the infinite number of things that can be made/done with it is just so fun. It’s such a thrill to
design pieces that give customers all the feels—feeling loved, feeling remembered, feeling proud, feeling nostalgic, feeling happy. From bookplates to thank you cards, holiday cards, décor and a host more, my feels come from being so lucky to do what I love.

AN ELF DID IT
Sunshine and Ravioli - where did that name come from? It’s a story that goes
back to the early 2000s. The movie Elf came out while I was trying to come up with the business name and my kids loved it (we still laugh through it every year). We wore out the soundtrack from the movie and one of our favorite singalong songs, “Pennies from Heaven” by Louis Prima held the key to Mom's new business name. In one particularly "sing at the top of your lungs" worthy verse of the song, the lyrics include “Sunshine and Ravioli”. It stuck. Years later, it still makes my heart smile every time I think about those little nuggets (now grown and off to live their own lives) sitting in the back seat, singing that song at the top of their lungs as we drove down the highway. The name captures everything I want to share with my customers—happy nostalgia, warm and fuzzy memories.

Thank you so much for shopping small and supporting creatively handmade. I’m very glad you’re here!
