{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  This week was a lot of fun, from a date night with my husband to hanging out with Kyle from Power + Light Press in her Moveable Type Truck last night!  You might remember Kyle’s letterpress kickstarter project from last year, and she’s spending a few days in the DC area this week.  So if you want to see what this letterpress business is all about (and try out a couple of presses yourself), you can go visit Kyle near the Dupont Circle metro this afternoon from 4:30 – 7:30 p.m. or go see her in Baltimore this weekend!  For folks outside of the DC area, check out the rest of her tour dates right here.  But in the meantime…

This is the print that I made last night with Kyle.  Willie Nelson was playing a concert across the street.  Ha!

Pretty Paper in the Office: Hand Drawn

Being a fan of hand lettering, it should come as no surprise that any hand drawn element would catch my eye.  The perfectly imperfect touch adds just the right amount of charm and whimsy to any blank canvas, or in this case, any blank sheet of paper.  Inspired by drawings, doodles, and brushstrokes, I’ve put together a round up that will soften the straight and narrow lines of office stationery.

Hand drawn inspired office stationery roundup
No. 1 Sailboats notepad by Linda & Harriett; No. 2 Address book with handmade cover by My Name Is Rabbit; No. 3 Letterpress sticker set by 1 canoe 2; No. 4 Herringbone jotter by Wit & Whistle; No. 5 Monogrammed letterpress stationery set by Book Meat

Hand drawn office stationery detail

Last, but certainly not least, is This Year’s Flowers (a stationery set) by Paper & Type.  I was sold upon seeing the romantic floral illustrations on the back of each sheet.  Paper & Type recommends that letters be four pages in length so that, once put together, you will have also mailed a piece of art!

2012 Calendar Round Up, Part 5 – Seasonal Food Calendars

Fruits, vegetables, and seasonal food in general have figured prominently in the 2012 calendar round ups over the last few weeks.  But since food is such a fun theme for a calendar, whether illustrated or photographed, that I thought it would be fun to pull together a round up dedicated entirely to foodie calendars!  Here are a few favorites that would be perfect for your kitchen (and any other rooms, too)…

{happy weekend!}

Happy Friday everyone!  My husband just reminded me that we’re heading into a long weekend (he keeps track of these things more closely than I do, apparently), so that’s nice!  I was already looking forward to a laid back weekend, but am grateful for the extra day to catch up on errands and hopefully relax.  But in the meantime…

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.  And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.  If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking.  Don’t settle.  As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.  And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.  So keep looking until you find it.  Don’t settle.”

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.  Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.  Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.  And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.  They somehow already know what you truly want to become.  Everything else is secondary.”

— Steve Jobs, 2005 Stanford University Commencement Address
