six

Ike turns 6 today ... its crazy how time flies so quickly ...

I associate this blog with him as I started it shortly after he was born.  So I figured it was appropriate to dedicate a quick post to him. Happy birthday to the sweetest, most funny little guy I know.  

We put together little care packs for him to pass out to his classmates.  He's exclaimed that today is the best day ever.  I have to agree. 

simple luxuries

Love black and gold ... and even the smallest splash of it can make simple into fancy ...

I was excited to see that one of my favorite illustrators, Jon Contino, illustrated the Washingtonian's cover this month...

And some of his other work ... so good ...

glasfurd & walker

I've fallen off the blogging wagon [real bad] ... I think its because I rarely read blogs now --between Pinterest, Twitter + Instrgram, I get my fill of inspiration and keeping up with people.  So, while I'd like to keep this blog, instead of stressing out about it, I'll just post as I feel.  

I've been working more and more on corporate work, which I very much enjoy.  In doing some research, I came across this new work by Glasfurd & Walker.  So many perfect details in these little packages.  I love thoughtful but simple design ...
