Letter Doodling

Really inspired by THIS, so today I doodled this:

Water Cycle Print

Well, there's no doubt it's springtime here, with all the turbulent weather we've been having lately. Fortunately we've been spared the worst of it - my heart goes out to those folks in our neighboring states that have suffered and lost so much! I came across this print by dialmformichele on Etsy today and loved the illustration style. Such a great way to teach the little ones where all that rain comes from!

Wise Words

Because it's Monday, and I needed some and figured you did too.

Mouse in the House

I've been eyeing this print for a while now. I think it would look so perfect above the baby's crib. It was made from one of Famille Summerbelle's lovely paper cuts. Such intricate work, and there's actually a little mouse hiding in there somewhere!

I've long been a fan of their work - ever since I first laid eyes on her incredible paper cut world map.

Schoolhouse Electric

I recently discovered Schoolhouse Electric and instantly fell in love. I've always wanted an old house - one with character, charm and timeless style.

These light fixtures would go perfectly in my "someday" old house. They're made by hand the old fashioned way right here in the USA - the way things should be.

Some are exact reproductions of period lighting styles, and others are their own modern interpretations. All are lovely and would be a welcome addition to any home - especially mine!

How about ribbon?

Cute ribbon can be hard to find, especially when you're looking for just the right one for your project. These designs by Jessica Jones of How About Orange are fresh and fun, and would add the perfect finishing touch to a bag, quilt...or ponytail. :)

This adorable font + frame set can be downloaded for FREE at Type Depot.

Wouldn't it be just perfect on a Christmas card?

Packaging greatness

I'm loving Chipotle's current branding almost as much as I love their burritos. And I do love their burritos. Though I always seem to leave horrified at how much of one I can consume before the guilt sets in.

Beautiful Bookbinding

Check out these beautiful books hand bound by Kate Bowles on Folksy. She recycles shoe leather samples and vintage materials to make these lovely books. I love the exposed stitching on the spines!

That's Why They Called Him a Genius

So true. And often so hard for me to put into practice.
