fall clothes

I'm not quite ready to think about fall + fall clothes.  But then I see things like Heidi Merrick's fall collection + I start to get excited ...

I especially have a hard time resisting fall coats + shoes.  Oh how I would to have that black dress/jacket.

summertime dining

I love these photos from letteria's Flickr ...

The hanging balloons + lanterns add a simple festiveness.  Makes me want to have an evening dinner alfresco.

first words book

I'm in love with this fabulous first words letterpress book ...
Even though our little one's been talking for a while, I'm thinking of getting this to chronicle this fun time in our lives.  And what a great gift this would be!

thank you, jane

Thank you, Jane, for the beyond-nice post about my work.  This thanks is for you ... and inspired by you :] ...

Jane is right up there at the top of my list of really great people I've met via blogging/etsy.  Not only is she super nice, she's got impeccable taste [especially in paper goods].  So, when she asked me to do some custom letterpress work, I was flattered + super excited as I knew it would be just my style [simple, clean + a touch of modern].   As soon as she receives her goods, I'll be sure to share.  Thanks again, J!

We'll be hanging poolside today ..

Back tomorrow!  Happy Tuesday.

kraft envelopes + return addresses

I'm loving kraft envelopes + fun return addresses these days ...
Some invites I put together very quickly for a friend. Very simple but I always love doing a little something on the outside of the envelope. Simple pleasures. :]  I'll share some other kraft-envelope related projects in the next week or so!

perch design

I sure do love all the ceramic work from Perch Design ...

Via Design Work Life -- a new to me blog but quickly becoming one of my favorites.

grow house grow

Some wallpaper I've been admiring ...

I've restarted my search for the perfect wallpaper.  Especially after this weekend where I've decided I need to take some time to work on the house.  I've been so busy that I've put it on the back burner.  I've also started a new rule for myself:  no computer for one-day-a-week.  Hopefully I can follow my little rule as it really does help to get a mental break + you get a lot of stuff done around the house!

Happy Monday.

thanks + happy weekend

Thanks everyone for all your blog + Etsy love today ..

I've been so amazed by the kindness of all the amazing people I've met via my blog + shop.  And I just want to thank you all for visiting me regularly + supporting my little shop.  It means a great deal. 

Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
