Wooden Thank You Notes by Paloma’s Nest
I have written about the amazingly lovely work over at Paloma’s Nest before…but I noticed that she recently updated her shop with THE CUTEST stuff. The wooden thank you notes are absolutely brilliant, the pretty gift bags and wooden gift boxes, the hand-stamped textiles…oh my! I could go on and on!
And, I haven’t let go of my love for Caroline’s perfect little ring bowls and now, her absolutely gorgeous heirloom bowls. She has so many beautiful pieces, each one crafted by hand with TLC. I love that.
Paloma’s Nest is one of my all time favorite etsy sellers, so if you haven’t already, spend some time checking out her beautiful work!
Caroline, Paloma’s oh-so-talented designer, is gifting one lucky reader a set of wooden thank you notes. Just leave a comment as to what your favorite product from her line is, and we’ll choose a winner at random!
I love the little tiles, they'd be great to finish of wrapping favors.
It's ironic that I just wrote about Palomas Nest on the last blog post! I think the holiday Dove tokens are just adorable. They would be amazing on a cake table climbing a perfectly simple cake! They can hang out on in some garland around the holidays or become cute keepsakes for bridal party! Too cute!
Oh my, it's all so cute. I had a hard time picking a favorite but I must say I think I like the large custom heirloom bowl with the wedding date on it the best. What a great gift to give your friends and family!
Every piece was stunning, but my favorite is definitely the custom ring bowl. I love the modern take on a ring pillow, and the fact that it can be used even after the ceremony. I usually take my ring off to sleep, and placing it in such a beautiful keepsake each night would be a precious little reminder of our special day.
Anything from the holiday collection (I'm a Christmas nut!!!) but I especially love set of oversized doves!!!
I *love* her ring bowls! I'm getting married in 9 months and already know I will be ordering one, we just have to figure out what we want it to say. I think I am just as excited to use it after the wedding as well!
I absolutely adore the customized ring bowl with tie. I ordered one last week to use in my upcoming ceremony. Rather than using it in lieu of a ring pillow we are using it for a "ring warming ceremony." During the ceremony the bowl will be passed among the guests for them to make a silent blessing for us before we exchange our rings. The bowl will have our names, our wedding date and the phrase "encircled in love." I believe that a "warming ceremony" is not only an excellent way to involve all of the guests in the ceremony but also it will highlight the adorable and unique bowl. We also hope to use a picture of the rings tied in the bowl on the cover of our wedding album and will display the bowl in our home. It truly is a unique and personal wedding accessory must have!
The customized ring bowls are the best idea. I am planning my wedding right now and my fiancé requested that it not get too "frilly and girly". The best man and maid of honor are going to be holding our rings and I was afraid it would look silly for them to both have little pillows. Plus I was sure the best man would feel not so manly! The ring bowl is the perfect fit!!! It is modern and pretty, with out being too frilly. Plus after the wedding my fiance and I will both have one to put by our bathroom sinks to hold our rings when we wash our hands.
I love all of Paloma's Nest items, but the customized ring bowls are still my favorite. It's an item that I can keep forever to remind me of my wedding day!
I think my favorite is the YOU ARE LOVED bangle. What a great giveaway!
Those Thank you notes are just beautiful! Her shop is amazing!
SO funny that you are blogging about this store because I just spent WAY too much time there today. I absolutely adore the little cotton gift bags. I totally want to buy these (especially the ones that say Treasure with the heart!) to give to my girls with a pretty piece of jewelry inside. They are so simple & romantic! Love!
Everything is really beautiful, I love the simplicity of it all. I think the tiny bud vase is my favorite...it's so unique and would be a perfect thank you gift for my mom- who is an avid gardner and my personal wedding planner. I also think the wooden thank you cards are great and would make a wonderful keepsake for the wedding party.
I love the ring bowls (and will likely buy one for our wedding), but I think the new Thank You cards are my favorite! I'm a stationary junkie and these so totally rock. :)
Thanks for all of the great giveaways, SMP!
I think the ring bowls are such a unique and lovely idea, and I am sure to point them out to all of my engaged friends. I love that they are able to be customized with a meaningful sentiment or your wedding date. I only wish I'd found this store sooner, so I could have pointed out the Will You Marry Me bowl to my fiance before he popped the question! That is my favorite item by far!
The monogram Christmas ornaments are adorable and might just be my favorite, although I really am craving a custom ring bowl!
I love the stamped textile bags.. you could use them for soo many things!
The custom gift bags are my favorite! So super cute! I would have each of my bridesmaids' names stamped on them and then put their gifts in them. Awesome work =)
They are all so beautiful. I especially love the ring bowls, what a great alternative to the traditional pillow.
I am in love with the ring bowls!
The building blocks!
Everything!
Um, the wooden stationary I love, as I'm a papergoods-freak. But also, the gift-bags are an incredible idea... it's so great to give something that the wedding guests can reuse again and again.
I love the ring bowls with the Milagro Heart that says "cherish." How perfect for my Mexican destination wedding!
My FAVORITE is the 'You are Love' word bracelet. Such a good reminder!
I like the wood and porcelain gift tags. They're so creative. :)
Custom ring bowl- all time fav. Already purchased one of those and would LOVE to have those wooden thank yous!
Umm, love the wooden thank you notes! But I think my favorite is the Joy to the World ornament. I love ornaments, and that's such a sweet and simple message for the holidays.
All of the products are lovely, but the one that jumped out at me was the "will you marry me?" ring bowl. It is unique, artistic, creative, simple... to me, that would be the perfect proposal.
The little thoughts for your day building blocks from Paloma's Nest are so very charming. The messages "have hope, live simply, love, and smile" are beautiful things to remind ourselves of daily.
The ring bowls are so clean and simple... I love them!
That was way too difficult! I've browsed in her shop before and always want everything! My favorite though is the wood and porcelain gift tags. I like the mixing of textures and I love gift tags that dress up even the simplest of packages.
I am absolutely smitten by the simple ring bowl with wire loop - for wedding or commitment ceremony. It has an understated beauty that resonates. I've been searching for the perfect way to honor my grandmother during our wedding. Her favorite flower was a yellow rose. I would ablsolutely love to display a single stem yellow rose with our wedding rings in this bowl. This would be a wonderful way to honor my grandmother and a visible representation of her love that I carry with me always.
I got a ring bowl for my wedding last July and just purchased another for a friend's wedding next month. They're such personal gifts and keepsakes. I love them. And all of her wares.
I love the personalized ring bowls. I recently recommended them to a friend who used one for a "ring warming ceremony" for her wedding.
I love the tile stamped "tu eres mi pasion". I am not hispanic nor fluent in spanish, but my fiance and I both have lived in other cultures and enjoy experiencing them through travel and living abroad. It is a shared passion of ours and, well, this just sums it up nicely!
I LOVE all of her items, but my favorite is a tie between the customizable large bowls, and the ring bowls that can double for a ring bearer pillow. We aren't having a flower girl or ring bearer at our wedding, so I love the idea of passing a small ring bowl with the word "love" and our wedding date inscribed and our rings tied and each of our guests act as the ring bearers by passing the bowl to the front!
i have always been a fan of the bowls, but now i am loooving the wooden stationery.
I really like the "laugh often" bowls. I want to be reminded of that everyday...it really is the best medicine.
The customized ring bowls and wooden stationary are the best!
The 'you are loved' bangle is absolutely lovely. I hope I win the thank you notes!
I am still in love with the classic ring bowls.
I will always cherish the ring bowl that Caroline customized for my wedding this summer---she was so helpful during the design process! I chose a quote from a favourite poem by Robert Frost---see how it turned out here:
http://www.annesage.com/blog/2008/09/wedding-flash-1.html
My favorites are the tiny text bowls. I am planning on getting the boxed set, one for my sister (and maid of honor) and the other for my mother (and unofficial wedding planner!). It's so sweet that they can be customized to make such a perfect thank-you gift for two of the most special people on my wedding day. I'm also thinking about getting my fiance the AMOR VINCIT OMNIA tiny text bowl as a surprise - we're learning Italian together for our honeymoon and it'd be a cute little pre-wedding gift. So much goodness!
I adore the "LOVED" bangle. Sometimes it's nice to have a little reminder.
My fiancee and I have a tradition of getting a new ornament that means something to us each year. Last year we got a plane ornament because we took our first overseas trip together for his cousins' wedding. I think the set of three oversized SILENT NIGHT messenger bird dove hanging decorations would be great because they messages are inspirational and are a great way to mark the year we got engaged.
I love everything on her site, and would spend my whole paycheck there if I didn't have to pay stupid bills like rent and such! My favorite item in her shop is the custom ring bowl. I ordered one recently, and requested a rather lengthy quote. Caroline was so helpful and kind throughout the whole design process. She worked with me to fit my quotes on the ring bowl and helped me edit them so they would fit and wouldn't look to jumbled. I absolutely love the final product and can't wait to use it in my wedding and as an heirloom afterward. I heart Paloma's Nest!
I have been a fan of Paloma's Nest since I fist found etsy, there are so many great things!
my favorite by far though are part of her new holiday line.
I LOVE the CUSTOM tiny little monogram single inital ornaments. My husband and I will be celebrating our first christmas as a married couple and the little ornaments with our last name would be adorable!
As much as I love all the love themed bowls and items in her store I think the one that really sung out to me was the Seize The Day bowl is it's something I am trying to inject into my life and what better way that to see it every day on a beautiful item like that?! :)
I really love her wooden thank you notes. I love the simplicity and the genuineness that they radiate!
I think the "TU ERES MI PASION" text tile wall plaque is great!
My favorite is the custom ring bowl, although there are MANY close seconds.
I absolutely love the customized ring bowls.
the ring bowl is cute
What fabulous stuff! I like the "THANK YOU wood stationery set of five note cards and envelope." Being engaged, I'm writing more and more thank you notes and I'm always looking for a unique way to say thanks!
i love the stamped gift bags.... i'd love to get my family's names stamped on them as a different approach to christmas stockings
My favorite are the wooden thank-you notes and the wooden peace on earth notes.
I love the large custom text bowl. I would put part of our vows on the bowl.
I'd have to say the custom ring bowl. It is so classic, so lovely, and just perfect for what I'm going for.
I have one of their beautiful ring bowls for our wedding so naturally that is my favorite piece in their line. BUT if I had to choose something else it would be those thank you notes. Haha! They are exactly my style. I've been obsessing over wood grain lately.
My favorite is of course the ring bowl. So unique, so meaningful. Of course, I adore the wooden notes, too! What a creative idea and would work so perfectly with our rustic/casual/garden party wedding!
i love the "to have and to hold" ring bowls! lately everytime i hear that phrase...i get a little emotional haha. almost my wedding day!
My favorite is the large custom heirloom bowl. Her work is so pretty!
I have always adored the little ring bowls at Paloma's Nest, but browsing anew, I am completely in love with her ornaments! The small monogram initial ornaments are so simple and charming - I want a whole collection for our tree!
My favorite is definitely the wooden note cards! They are beautifully simple and lux.
I love Paloma's Nest! I bought two ring bowls from PN for my wedding (August 2008- I had two ring bearers)! The bowls now sit on my coffee table! I love the wooden cards and the 2008 dove ornament!
I think these are just adorable!

I love the newspaper dove ornaments. I also love the wooden cards. It would be awesome to win them!
Love this tiny sculpture vase http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9568966 . It's so unique and whimsical and fun!
Its so hard to pick one item because all of her work is so beautiful, the ultimate in clasic slimplicity. If I had to choose though it would be the ring bowl, such a unique idea, a great way to add a personal keepsake to your special day. I will definitely be ordering for my wedding next year!
i love the wooden blocks that have the sayings. I think it would be a great piece to take pictures of our wedding rings on. All of her items are wonderful and have so much love oozzing out of them!
Ooh! I love the i love you tiny text bowl! So pretty!
Definitely has to be the tiny bowls. So sweet!
... I like a couple things, so I'll just tell you what makes me swoon.
First, the small dove bowls are cute.
Second, the bowl that says "Amor vincit omnia"
Finally, the bowl that says "to have to hold" (I think that's one of the original bowl designs, but it may be an "oldie" but it's still a goodie!)
I love everything, but my favorite would have to be the custom wooden bangle :)
I love the heirloom bowls! Such a simple, elegant, unique gift to give not only for a wedding, but for a friend's birthday as well. Plus you can customize the bowl to make it perfect for someone special. :-)
It has to be the custom wood bracelets! So chic.
I'm loving the hugs and kisses bags! What a fun idea...that can be used over and over for wrapping little presents or tucking love notes inside! :)
Gorgeous! I love the wooden blocks (I must admit I already have a custom bowl, from my now-husband on Valentine's Day.
It's hard to pick a favorite, but I'd have to say that if I were buying for myself, I'd get a wooden bangle bracelet. If I was buying generally, I'd get some wooden cards (type of card depending on the recipient)
My favorite product is the custom ring bowl - it's just a completely ingenious product and such a wonderful keepsake that could be used for any occasion. Like many of your other readers, I purchased a custom ring bowl for our wedding in May with our wedding date and the words "I love you" in three different languages (each of which has a special meaning to my husband and me), and is something that I know my husband and I will cherish for the rest of our lives.
I love the vases. They are so simple and unique.
'sieze the day' and 'cherish' tiny text bowls are my favorite. so many uses...! the wooden thank you notes would be a fun item to have as well, esp with the holidays quickly approaching.
Love the beads and bangles
I am so in love with Paloma’s Nest. With the Holidays fast approaching theirs a few items that I can use. Especially the Silent Night hanging doves, those would be a great addition to my wreath this year..
I guess I'm in the Christmas mood already because I'm loving the "Joy to the World round text tile ornament"!!
HOW CAN YOU EVEN CHOOSE ONE?! They're all so original and thoughtful. I'd have to say I like any of the wooden stationary pieces. And the wooden bracelet~...and the tiny bowls! love it!
I love that "to have and to hold" ring bowl. I don't really care for pillows and this would be a great alternative during the ceremony.
I have to say I'm a fan of the classic personalized ring bowl. you can't mess with the original.
I've been going back and forth on her website.. I'm so CONFUSED!! I love everything and can't decide to which one I want!! I love all her pieces and are very convinient that I can use it to place my jewelry!! I'm thinking for the box with the 2 ring bowls saying : "Te Amaré" which is our theme song for our wedding!
It is so hard to choose a favorite - everything is so endearing. However, I absolutely love the Christmas ornaments. My daughter is getting married and it would be a wonderful first Christmas together ornament.
I love the messenger bird text plate---have always admired the bowls "to have and to hold" but especially love the bird because it ties in to some of our wedding elements, built off of the quote "If you're a bird I'm a bird" from the Notebook. >>fingers crossed<<
LOVE the Christmas ornaments--would be great for our first Christmas together! I like the "Silent Night" set the best.
Actually... I love the wooden Thank You notes best.
I LOVE the wooden thank you cards.
