{happy weekend!}

Happy Halloween weekend everyone!  This is shaping up to be a bit of a crazy weekend, and not just because of Halloween… you may have heard of this tiny little rally happening in my neighborhood?  Should be interesting!  Aside from all the commotion, I’m looking forward to some Halloween fun with good friends and hopefully a few trick-or-treaters, but in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend:

…and in case you missed it, a round-up of this week’s posts:

That’s it for me this week!  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a Happy Halloween, and I’ll see you all back here on Monday!

2011 Calendar Round-Up, Part 5

As promised, I’ve got a few more calendars to share with you today!  First up, I’m loving the gorgeous botanical illustrations in Amy Marcella‘s 2011 calendar:

Flora Douville‘s calendar was one of my favorites from 2010, and she has another beautiful version for 2011, as well as a pretty new photo calendar:

Food and produce are popular themes in the 2011 calendar designs, and are the primary inspiration for both Pie Bird Press and Claudia Pearson‘s 2011 calendars:

2011 Calendar Round-Up, Part 4

There have been a ton of amazing calendars released in the couple of weeks since my last calendar round-up, so it’s time for the next installment!  Like the other round-ups, this is going to be a long-ish post, so let’s get right to it.

Tara from Ink + Wit just released her 2011 letterpress calendar, and of course it’s absolutely beautiful!  The designs are inspired by animals at play:

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  It’s been another exhausting week, but I’m super excited for the weekend.  I’m heading up to New Jersey to visit my Dad, which is nearly always just what the doctor ordered when I’m feeling stressed and worn out.  I’ll also be heading into New York City for some Bridal Market fun and, of course, still working.  Speaking of which, have you all popped over for a tiny peek at my new project?  We’re getting ready to launch in a couple of weeks and I’m so excited!  I hope you all have fun and/or relaxing plans for the weekend, but in the meantime…

…a few links for your weekend!

…and just in case you missed it, a quick summary of this week’s posts:

That’s it for me this week!  I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you all back here on Monday!
