How do you make a candle happy?
You blow it out.
It would be delighted.

Do you know why the candle quit his job?
He was burnt out.

Just giving you some ammunition for the day ahead!🤣

Happy Father's Day to all the father figures out there!!❤️ We love our dads and don't know where we'd be without them!

Special Happy Father's Day to the dad of ITAVD! He's the muscle of our company, the first reviewer of every project (whether he likes it or not), emergency painter, top welder, chief investor, late night card player, errand runner, driver for the social media person (me), babysitter, and the default complaint department. He's the best #1 fan we've got! ❤️ Give Lee a shout out for feeding all of our addictions!

What a super awesome opportunity to work with our local grocery store on a retirement party for a community icon!

Our chosen theme was "King for a Day". We truly believe he felt like one. It was an amazing thing to watch the community come out and celebrate him! 👑❤️

We worked with their amazibg bakery on an edible ink image for the cake, customized and laser cut a gold crown, created a giant book/card for well-wishers to sign, and topped it off with an engraved carbon black plaque.

Need a theme to go with your memories? Reach out, we LOVE this stuff!!💜

Happy retirement, James!

🎄✨ Christmas in July is coming to ITAVD next month and we're prepping early! ✨🎄

We're already getting excited about this month's Jolly St. Nick Collection, and we think you're going to love it as much as we do! From adorable Santa door hangers to whimsical lighted trees and coordinating porch décor, this collection is packed with vintage Christmas charm and cozy holiday vibes.
The best part? These pieces are designed to mix and match beautifully, making it easy to create a coordinated holiday display. And if you've already purchased one of our single-door porch displays, you're in luck, many of these designs pair perfectly with it for an even bigger statement piece!

🎅 Available as:
✨ DIY Paint Kits
✨ Finished & Ready-to-Display Pieces
✨ Great for girls' nights, family projects, gifts, and holiday decorating.

We're taking pre-orders now for our Christmas in July event, so if you've been itching to start planning your holiday décor (and let's be honest, some of us never stopped 😂), now is the time!

Which piece is your favorite...the Santa, the lighted tree, or the coordinating door display? Let us know below! 🎄❤️

We can't let the day end without wishing a 'Happy National Rescue Dog Day' to our favorite Lady Loki!
🐾🐶🐾

You've seen her model our products, you've seen all our corgi patterns, but have you ever seen her t***y wiggle??

UGH! It's the freaking CUTEST!😍😍

Post a pic of your favorite rescue puppers (past or present) and tell us all about them!

There may just be a prize or two chosen by Lady this week! (I mean, she's pretty multi-talented if you ask our 12 YO and her favorite chat bot).
