All Us All the Time is Inviting up Some Summer Fun

Ships Ahoy! Or should that be sailboats? Either way we just added to our site the cutest set of sailboat fill-in invitations with coordinating disposable party coasters and drink charms. Perfect timing for that summer party you have been planning for the backyard, by the pool, at the lake, or for those so lucky, on their boat. Adorable little boats bobbing over whimsical waves sporting a stunning starfish sail. The color palette is done in classic sea green and blue combined with the summer hues of purple and yellow. To carry on the theme, we have disposable party coasters also sporting stunning starfish and matching disposable drink charms in the same color palette. If you were not planning a party this summer, you may want to now.












All Us All the Time Entertaining

Flower Gift Tags Spring up at All Us All the Time

More felted goodness has arrived in the form of whimsical flower gift tags. In vibrant colors of gold, purple, fuchsia and blue, these wool felt flower tags are embellished with hand-sewn details and a ribbon for hanging. Flower gift tags come with matching note inserts where you can write your own message or you can insert flower buds or any other small treat or trinket. These playful wool felt gift tags are perfect for shower and wedding gifts or you can hang them on bottles of gourmet vinegar and bottles of wine for hostess or house warming gifts. The gift tags can also be given on their own with a note or treat inside, left on a co-worker's or teacher’s desk or at the breakfast table for a loved one. The wool felt gift tags would even fit in a greeting card for a little extra surprise. If you need to send a graduation card this year, you could insert a folded check, gift certificate, money, or a note of wisdom and inspiration for their next step in life (I have a feeling they will probably appreciate the former insert ideas more than the latter). The gift tags are sold in sets of four with matching note inserts; one wool felt flower gift tag in every color. The gift tags are 1.5 x 3” and the coordinating note inserts are .75 x 3”.

I am anticipating more felt goodness will be coming soon....

Happy Mother's Day

Thank you for letting us make our messes, allowing us to color outside the lines, to realize that no dream is too big or unattainable and that it is always okay to wear pink elephant watches.

We Love You!

May Tip – Swedish Pancakes for Mother’s Day

We are still working on the grand vision of our tip page. To recap from our earlier blog, the original vision of our tip page was three part. The first part would entail deeply thought provoking journal prompts with profoundly enlightening written examples that may or may not solve the ancient mysteries of mankind. These poetic prose would then be accompanied by elaborate intricate illustrated layouts of the likes of the Sistine Chapel. The second part would include unique and captivating recipe, decorating and gift basket ideas. Ideas to rival those of Martha Stewart, eloquently presented with each ingredient illustrated in fine detail. Finally, part three of our tip page would entail a crafting section with awe-inspiring paper craft ideas and never-thought-of-before color scheme suggestions with of course an extremely ornate detailed illustrated layout of each and every step of the process including color wheels, charts, and Photoshop screen shots. There will be animated graphics throughout as our own composed music plays in the background. This will be followed by a feature film and soon-to-be released soundtrack.


Yeah, we are still working on that. Meanwhile, we have a delicious recipe for Swedish pancakes to share with you for Mother’s Day breakfast or brunch. These Swedish pancakes are very thin and have a slight sweet taste. They are an excellent accompaniment to any Mother’s Day breakfast or brunch menu. You can serve them with traditional maple syrup, a spoonful of jelly, or sprinkle powder sugar over the top. A lovely breakfast for Mother’s Day would be Swedish pancakes, freshly squeezed orange juice, and espresso with cream and sugar. Spruce up the table with a spring bouquet of flowers purchased from your local market or freshly picked flowers from the garden. Visit our tip page at allusallthetime.com for the Swedish Pancake recipe. Bonappetit and Happy Mother’s Day.

Magnificent Magnets

I just love our new magnet page. I know I am prejudice, but to me the page just seems so fun bursting with vibrant colors. It is such a happy little web page. Can web pages be happy? Any hoo, we replaced our 1.5” square sets for new bright and colorful rectangle 2 x 3” sets. Reproduced from my sister’s original watercolors, the details on our teacup magnet set are amazing. From the intricate lace doilies, the whimsical wallpaper, to the detail design of the actual cups and saucers themselves, something new jumps out at you every time you see them. I keep trying to decide which is my favorite, the clocks, the hats, the butterfly, or the flowers, but I would just have to have one of each. The color palette is bright and bold with purples, greens, and pinks giving them a bit of a French flair.


Maybe it was that French flair that certain je ne sais quoi that inspired our 3 French magnet sets. These sets feature the graphic design work of my sister, and are tres irresistible. First there is the sophisticated and classic French Kitty, sporting a beret and lovely scarf, of course in superbly coordinating colors of purple, pink, peach and sage. Then there is our stately fleur de li set for the more refined of refrigerators and bulletin boards. Finally our French melody set of magnets includes the romantic Paris café scene and then the French wine bottles featuring our own label Chat Boudant (pouting cat). Oolala!


From fabulously French to fad and funky, our mod and flower power magnet sets are absolutely groovy. They come in flowers, dots, and pinwheels. In bright fun colors, trendy designs, these magnets surpass hip and enter in to a dimension of their own.



Now it is time to go from fun and fad to....uh, organizational? Excuse me? Yes, that is right, organizational word magnet sets. For those that feel their magnets need an exact purpose, this set spells it right out on the magnet: coupons, grocery list, take out, appointments, now, later, work and leisure. Our hope with these sets is to give back the time spent looking for a scrap piece of paper to write down your grocery list, shuffling through that kitchen drawer for your favorite Chinese take-out menu, or frantically searching for that 2 for 1 pizza coupon. No more looking, it is just right there under these handy dandy magnets.

Speaking of lists, most of the magnet sets also have coordinating notecards...won’t your refrigerator look so chic.

Look What’s Blooming at All Us All the Time

The felted goodness continues with enchanting wool felt cone gift tags. In a regal color palette of blues, browns, purples and turquoises, these wool felt cones are embellished with hand-sewn details and a ribbon for hanging. Each wool felt gift tag has a small pouch where you can insert flower buds, a sweet note or any other small treat or trinket. You can attach them with a bow to your wrapped packages, hang them on bottles of perfume, wine, gourmet vinegars or oils. They can also be given on their own with a note or treat inside, left on a co-worker’s desk or at the breakfast table for a child. The wool tags would even fit in a greeting card for a little extra surprise. They are sold in sets of four; one wool felt cone gift tag in every color.


We have also added a new spring greeting card to our seasonal greetings. The greeting card is reproduced from my sister's recent watercolor of a fabric cone with irises. The color palette is very French country, with golden yellows, deep pinks, rich blues, and sage greens. Then beautiful irises beam from the top with their delicate pedals overflowing down the sides. My sister is known for her intricate detail work that is shown through the elaborate fabric patterns of the cone and then the delicate draping flower pedals. A welcome addition to our spring greeting card collection.
