Perfect images for a sunny / almost summer Friday afternoon ...

Lovely photos by France Rufenach via Love. Obsess. Inspire [a new lovely blog].  Can you believe its already almost June?  I can't but I'm excited for summer!

Happy, happy Friday!

From their very appropriately titled collection Victorian Romance.

lmnop magazine

The new issue of LMNOP is out.  As always, its so well done ... I especially love this issue as its dedicated to the alphabet + written word ...

And thanks to editor-in-chief, Jenny [who is super sweet], for including simplesong goods in the issue!

summer mood

Like many, I'm very much in a summer mood + this looks pretty good to me right now ...

So charming. 

ps. I know I found this on a blog somewhere but can't remember.  If you blogged about this please let me know so I can credit.  Thanks!

whitten grey

So, so cute little dresses ...

I don't know how you folks with little girls do it ... I'd be tempted to buy every cute dress I saw!

lovely paper indeed

I'm crazy over this paper collection ...

I found Dawn via Flickr + she was kind enough to let me share her great photos.  What a lovely collection which she uses for her artwork + sometimes sells or trades.

sunday suppers

I'm totally in love with Sunday Suppers, a 'cooking-dining experience, pairing friends + food' ...

The menus, photography, place settings, flowers ... everything perfect.  And the July 19 class sounds especially amazing ... Amy Atlas is doing the dessert table! 

Have a fabulous Memorial Day.

Aren't these just perfect photos for summer?

Happy Memorial day weekend to you!  I always love this weekend as all the pools start to open and it marks the beginning of summer.   Yay!

simplesong :: shop update [sort of]

A few little shop notes + a quick giveaway ...

The last month of the letterpress subscription went out a few weeks ago [can't believe how fast that went!].  The 'to do' lists were last month's item ... and I made several extra.   Leave a comment + I'll choose a few folks within the first 20 comments to send a set to. 

A few other little notes ...

- I'll likely bring back the subscription in time for the holidays.  For anyone who's interested, email me [hello at simplesongdesign.com] + I'll let you know when they'll be available.  Like last time, a limited quantity will be available.

- New blind impression cards available with my new big type!

- Did some cleaning of my studio + put together some grab bags of assorted goodies.

- Cupcake boxes w/ cupcake holders to come! I just need to get my act together + buy or make some cupcakes to photograph w/ the boxes.

As always, thanks for supporting my little shop! xo.
