I recently found out that DC has finally jumped on the yogurt bandwagon with the opening of tangysweet ...Yay! Can't wait to try it. And in other news, I found out another Paper Source is opening even closer to our home. Sweets + paper, life is good. :]
Oh + speaking of good news, I mentioned a few months ago that one of my little products was going to be in a magazine. I just learned the issue ran - my first magazine mention! Thanks Avis for sharing!
I found Bodie + Fou via Decor8 last week and instantly loved their goods ...Such pretty, pretty stuff! And their having a summer sale right now. Too bad the dollar is so weak!
After driving to Chicago + back this weekend [1400 miles!?], there she is ...She is in fabulous condition with everything in tact. A big thanks to my little sister who made the trip with me. It was a long ride but well worth it + loads of fun.
I'm now working to get equipment + tools together. And stay tuned! I'll be doing a couple of custom stationery giveaways [to allow me to practice a bit + thank you for all your letterpress enthusiasm]. Happy Monday!
I thought I'd leave you with another photographer's work I recently came across + really like ...
And I just love that bicycle print in the upper left [if anyone knows where that's from...I'd love to know!]
Here are a few other things I've been admiring + keep going back to: Mary's Words+Pictures post, Karey's writing/blog in its entirety, You Are Beautiful, the Cox&Cox sale, these prints, and all of these letterpress type blocks. :]

I'm heading to Chicago this weekend to pick up my printing press [yay!]. And thanks to the lovely Jane, we'll be making a few recommended stops ...Including a stop here to get their famous, award-winning cupcakes. How could I pass that up? I'll be sure to share the full scoop next week. And would love it if you send your good vibes my way -- I've researched + carefully planned transporting my new treasure, now I'm just hoping it all goes according to plan! Have a great weekend.
I think handwritten + letterpress are now my two favorite combos for letterpress designs ...Aren't these all just so lovely? Definitely inspiration for me as I'm thinking of the direction I'd like to take with my own letterpress work.
[Love work from: Black Pearl Press, Mr. Boddington's Studio, Alee & Press + Martha Stewart-via Brooklyn Bride]
Little one is loving hats these days + insists on wearing them all the time. I'm trying to find some cute ones ...
Any thoughts on places that carry cute boy hats? The one's above [from J. Crew, Janie + Jack + Babystyle] are cute but I don't love 'em.
[picture above is from music class....that day's theme was 'beach day' in case you're wondering why the kids are wearing swimsuits indoors ;].
I've posted her work before + lately I've been seeing it all over the place but I just love it so much I wanted to share again ...
Plus, I am now the happy owner of the top left wristlet. :] With all my big purchases lately, I've put myself on a self-imposed spending freeze + started using Joslyn's list method [which works, btw!]. With the exception of this purchase. I had a rough day yesterday + decided to treat myself. Its amazing how a little Etsy makes you feel better. :]
I'm loving all the picnic related + themed stuff I've been seeing lately...Doesn't this stuff just make you want to go out + have a picnic?
{lovely images from: picnic set, vintage picnic basket [via coveiter], wood utensils + oilcloth bags [via frolic!]}
It seems I'm coming upon loads of lovely photography lately. Patrick Kline's work is one of those + has quickly become another favorite ...These photos are so fresh + summery. Love it.
