Holiday Postcards

October 11, 2013 by Barbara Rucci 9 Comments

Did you know that I have a postcard company? It’s called Late Night Cake and today I am launching my third full season! Here is the very condensed version of why I started this business. I had been making postcards for my own family for many years. I loved that they were quirky and completely original, I…

Kid Postcards {from their art}

July 18, 2013 by Barbara Rucci 3 Comments

My son loves to draw. He has sketchbooks by his bed and draws at night. Whatever pops into his head, he puts it down on paper: a clock, the sun, a pencil, a hockey puck, sports logos, lots of penguins. I love this about him. But the sad part is, he thinks he’s bad at…

Valentines // Newspaper Heart Postcards

January 30, 2013 by Barbara Rucci 12 Comments

I love painting over newspaper, it’s such a cool look (and also an excellent way to catch up on local news. I didn’t know my friend became a real estate broker, for example). We used our newspaper hearts two ways. One way was to make these postcards, the other way was to make these goody bags!…

A New Postcard Movie

January 10, 2013 by Barbara Rucci 2 Comments

As you may know, I have a postcard business called Late Night Cake. I just finished my second season of holiday postcards and it was crazy good. I love making cards for people. I also love making movies, but rarely have the time anymore. This movie is the second in a three part series on…

I have added three new designs to the website. Visit Late Night Cake to order your postcards for the holidays (and make your friends jealous because sending a postcard is way easier than stuffing envelopes). And while you’re busy getting Christmassy and fixing up your house this weekend, listen to these Holiday Playlists from me to you….

Museums with Kids

September 27, 2012 by Barbara Rucci Leave a Comment

A fun trick to get kids to enjoy museums!

We live about an hour from New York City, which is very lucky. One train ride and we are in the Big Apple! We try to take advantage of this perk whenever possible, although I’ve found that it was actually easier when they were little and didn’t have homework and activities. One of my favorite…

Summer Studio // Looking Back

September 17, 2012 by Barbara Rucci 3 Comments

Living with kids in a shared space

The end of summer is always bittersweet. Memories of sleepy afternoons and warm ocean breezes still linger in my head, yet the crisp morning of today is letting me know that it’s time to move on. Fall is in the air! I love the seasons, I do. But for me, letting go of summer is…

Recycled Postcard Banner

Birthday banner made from leftover cards

My sweet neighbor, Georgy, turned 103 last week. Yep! She was born in 1909. We visited her in her house that she built with her husband in 1939. She lives alone, but is loved and taken care of by many. She still cleans her own house and takes walks up the street on nice days….
