It takes strength to be kind - it's not a weakness..

Oh, the sweet nostalgia of that first library card!

It's like being handed a backstage pass to a world headlined by words. Words that can make you belly laugh or ugly cry, words that can spark that 'aha' moment or be the comforting arm around your shoulder.

And what better way to pay tribute to this love of language than by giving those humble library cards a serious glow-up?ย  A ticket to simpler times when you'd find a library card glued inside the front cover of a book. This piece captures the charm of those old-school cards, reproducing a pretty clever original watercolor in smooth, vivid vinyl.

It even sports the vintage watercolor wash of an aged card, but with a twist. This isn't your typical paint-by-numbers reprint on some flimsy cardstock. Oh no. This is done on fabric! Three layers of it, including fusible fleece for that extra 'oomph'.

And as if that wasn't enough, it's two-faced - sporting a pretty fabric on the flip side. Each hoop measures a hefty 8 inches across and comes with its own ribbon loop for hanging. Feel like freestyling it? Hook it over a nail, let it kick back on a shelf, or nestle it between books. It's all about rolling with it!

Dad loved it!

Got this as a gift for my dad, who watches the movie every year - he promptly hung it up on the tree next to his camper ornament and kept chuckling at it the rest of the night.

Perfect!

The recipient of this gift loved this only a bit less than her daughters, who have both picked up the copy as a meme for her. The piece is unique and attractive, and Iโ€™m assured it will be prominently displayed.

Great Gift!

I bought this quite appropriate gift for my daughters 22nd Birthday. She had just signed the lease on her very first Apartment. She laughed so hard and can't wait to hang it when she moves in September!
