excited about this :: hello cupcake

The cupcake trend has finally made its way to DC.  Another cupcake shop has opened + I'm very excited about this ...
Hello Cupcake, near Dupont Circle, opens today.  YUM. Seriously, I really do love cupcakes.

we *heart* chalk

Its no secret I have a thing for chalkboards + chalk.  And now I think I've passed that love onto our little one ...
It is now the activity of choice when we're outside. Yay for sidewalk chalk!  [top left photo: some serious concentration while drawing a little something for daddy]

orla kiely travel bags

I just love these Orla Kiely travel bags ...

I saw the one in the upper left a few weeks ago + find myself going back to look at it.  I don't need a travel bag ... just like looking at it.  Orla Kiely is definitely one of my favorites.

Hope you had a great weekend! 

type designer

I came across the Flickr account of the guy who designed Feel Script + discovered some of his other work ...
 

He has some serious talent!  I love his work. 

i *heart* a good script font

I seriously find a lot of joy when finding a great font -- especially a good sans serif or script  ...I've been eyeing these two, Feel Script + Sudestada, for quite some time.  And today the lovely Jane reminded me how much I love that Studestada + I went ahead and bought it.  It will be perfect for some wedding projects I'm working on among a few other things.  Yay for pretty fonts!

maybelle

This lady is seriously talented.  Oh what I would give to be able to write like this ...Taking calligraphy classes has always been on my wish list.  After seeing this, I think I'm going to bump it up to the top of my list -- not that I'll ever be able to write this amazingly -- but I can aspire. :]

goodshapedesign

I've been a long time fan of Wayne Pate/GoodShapeDesign's work + have been meaning to post about him for quite some time ... I just love my simple repeating patterns + bright colors! :]

red flag design

I seriously love, love the work of Red Flag Design.  It simple at its best...
Not only are the details + quality look great, they use about-to-be discarded materials [e.g. sailcloths!] + make one-of-a-kind products.  And that reusable shopping bag [also made out of reclaimed sailcloth] at the bottom is probably my all-time favorite of all the reusable bags I've seen.  I just love white with a little accent.  I think I might be getting that. :]

penguin classics

Anytime I see something from the Penguin Classics line it always catches my eye ...I mean how can you not love bright, bold colors, simple design + a nod to some great classics!
