Fly Society is one of my very favorite designs. It’s sweet and whimsical with a touch of modern sophistication. I like it so much that every time I redo my daughter’s room, I always incorporate a few bird cages in whatever design I’m experimenting with.

I met the ladies at Kuku Nest Bedding a few years ago at a trade show in Vegas, fell in love with the lantern design and quickly placed an order. This design looks fantastic with Fly Society wall stickers and after about the 50th inquiry as to where we got that bedding in our installation, we decided to write a quick post about it and share with all our readers in case there’s anyone else out there who was wondering but didn’t feel like sending us an email to ask.

Here’s the link to buy your own set. Enjoy.

Take a bite out of the rest of the school year by giving our big apple chalkboard wall decal to your child’s teacher.

Let your teachers know they are appreciated with this variation on the classic “apple for a teacher.” Teachers can use it to write daily messages to students, class to-do lists or to write out class lessons or homework assignments.

Or pick up a bushel of the chalkboards to give to family and friends who like to cook. Pick one up for a housewarming gift.

The removable wall decal is the perfect accessory for a kitchen warmed by a home-baked pie. It is a great spot to jot down shopping lists, dinner menus, and quick recipe ideas. Or for a friendly greeting to guests. The removable wall decals are better than chalkboard paint because they can be moved around the room as you redecorate.

Pair the apple chalkboard with this homemade apple pie from Grandma Ople for a memorable and scrumptious gift. I’ve been making this pie for years and it is yummy!

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer.

• Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.

• Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 35 to 45 minutes, until apples are soft.

Top 10 ways to use WallCandy Arts to get organized for 2010

1. Write your New Year’s resolutions on our flat-packed white boards with wipe off markers. If your resolve weakens, you can always erase it!

2. Jot down a list of things to do on our removable wall decal chalkboards. Have your kids write their own lists of things to get done in the new year on our animal chalkboards.

3. Clean up the kids’ clutter with our delightful super buckets. They are perfect for small toys and books and can be toted from room to room. And it makes cleaning up at the end of the day easy! Or use them in the closet for small items, like socks and underwear that always seem to get lost in drawers. Use our large wash tubs in the mud room to capture hats, gloves and scarves when you come in the house. Throw another one in the corner of each room for laundry. The buckets and tubs in cute pink birds, blue stars and colorful flutterflies will be an attractive accessory for any room.

4. Alphabetize your life with luv letters. Put up the luv letter wall decals around the house to add a fun flair to organizing. Put up a letter T over a basket of towels in the bathroom. Or stick a letter C over cookbooks in the kitchen.

5. Everything will have its place in the plygrid horizontal bookcase. Display favorite knickknacks, books, vintage records or toys in the bookcase. Or get some baskets and put them in the cubby holes to neatly hold all the little things in your life.

6. Lay out your makeup, perfumes or everyday jewelery on a tetra accessories tray to clean up your dresser top. Or save space and cut down on clutter in baby’s room by using the tetra tray as a changing table. It sits securely on a tetra 2 unit and fits a standard changing pad.

7. Organize your clothes with the tetra 4 horizontal drawer unit. The 10 multi-sized drawers are perfect for separating out things like socks, T-shirts and PJ’s.

8. Once you clean up your house, start saving for a vacation away from home by stashing your spare change in our modern ceramic piggy bank. The piggy bank comes decorated with bold black and white numbers, graphic chicks or flowers.

9. If your kids love to draw but can’t seem to keep their crayons and markers in one place, check out our doodle drawer desk for an easy and attractive solution for keeping your kids and their things in one place!

10. Grab our giant ceramic cup to capture keys and mail when you walk into the house to cut down on clutter on the kitchen table.

When all the presents have been opened and played with, don’t wait around for your kids to complain that there is nothing to do. Grab a Wall Candy Arts decorating kit and turn redecorating into a fun family project.

Here are a few ideas to get you started..

Read a book about dinosaurs, our favorite is How Do Dinosaurs Love Their Dogs?, and let the dinos come to life on your walls with the Dyno-mite wall decals. Give your child free rein to move them around and create the scene. Maybe the T-Rex and the Stegosaurus are battling at first and then they turn around and march together to eat a parachuting man.

Enjoy the adventures of the adorable polka-dot loving puppy, Lily, in Little Lily’s Polka Dot World as she discovers polka dots everywhere – even on her tongue. The colorfully polka-dotted houses and clothes can give you ideas for decorating with the Dottilicious wall decals.

Don’t leave baby out. Sing Old MacDonald with your little one and point to each animal as you build a farm scene with the grazeland wall decals (now discontinued). Make the sounds for each and encourage your child to mimic you as you look at the nature wall stickers together.

Or hoot, hoot, who through the irresistible book In My Tree with baby and then create a cozy nest for your little one with the Nightly News wall decals.

If your kids are wondering who all those people are that they saw over the holidays as you rushed between your aunts and uncles and in-laws, make a family tree with our season tree wall stickers to show them how you are all connected. It is a great way to decompress after the holiday excitement while cherishing the joyous memories of the time spent with family.

Take photos of all your relatives (and copy or photograph old photos of relatives who have passed, if you want to include them too) and get a photo sheet of thumbnail photos made. If your baby is too young to see them, use wallet-sized photos. Put them on the leaves of the trees to create a family tree and talk about all the branches of the family. During the year, your child will enjoy seeing the photos of relatives as you talk about what is going on in their lives. And it will be a comforting decoration for your children to look at as they fall asleep.

But even if you don’t turn the season tree into a project with your children, it is a fun wall decoration that fills your room with life, even when the trees outside are changing color and their leaves are falling to the ground.
