happy HALF-a-YEARsary!

Today, Jeff and I have been married for 6 whole, wonderful months!

the inspiration of Curtis

Curtis Jones is an artist and was one of my professors. He is so very good at what he does. This just shows how incredible meticulous and precise his art is. These images are comprised solely of these paper cones with various screen-printed patterns. Pretty nifty!

tree-shelf

This is SO far away, but I love this tree/bookshelf for my kid's room one day. Such a fun and whimsical idea.

postcup

This is a unique cup. Such a good gift idea that could be personalized in so many ways.

oh, coffee!

Today is definitely a day for a good cup of coffee and a good friend. So, the above print seemed an appropriate post.

big ideas are small

What an ingenious idea! I love this; so fun, so charming. How delightful would it be to go to scan something and see this on your merchandise.

the magic of test prints

"Test prints are an integral and often surprisingly beautiful and playful part of the hand printed process. They are never ever the same, and therefore true, one-of-a-kind, individual monoprints. Made from varied layers and layers of inks from different print runs to check colors, clean out a messy screen and a dozen other reasons, test prints are spontaneously created and basically, magical"...rather lovely. Seen here.

graphic type

Beautiful graphic type. Found here.

halloween happiness

This picture and the following sentiments are from photographer Elizabeth Messina at KissTheGroom.

"in our house we are all about the treats, we’ve been making sweet jack-o-lanterns for years…and no scary costumes either…here’s the thing, life is full of things that can scare you & growing up is wrought with bumps & twists….so for us…its sweets, pumpkins with hearts & cute costumes….we simply just don’t need to be scared to have fun, but that’s just us;)…wishing you lots & lots of treats…"

I don't normally quote other bloggers, but I wholeheartedly agree and it couldn't be said any better.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
