Need to Get My Hands Dirty January 31, 2012 4 Comments

I’ve been craving a good ‘get your hands dirty’ project lately. I want to sand a bench or stain a bookshelf, chipping my nails and getting a sliver in the process. It’s an odd thing to crave but I need it. You and me this weekend, Goodwill. We’ve got a date. Please have a project [...]

Take a Closer Look January 24, 2012 No Comments

Don’t you love art that draws you in and makes you look closer? I think the work of Anne ten Donkelaar does just that. I can’t imagine the time, patience and fine motor skills that go into each beautiful piece. Source: Creature Comforts

Recipe Cards January 19, 2012 No Comments

I’m kind of crazy about the idea of framing recipe cards from important ladies (or men) in your life and hanging them in the kitchen. And this image keeps popping up on my Pinterest feed so it seems a lot of you are as well! I’ll probably ditch the ribbon for my own space, but [...]

So, Tell Me… December 12, 2011 4 Comments

Alright blogger friends, I’m on the hunt. Since diving into the world of Google Reader I rarely venture outside of my daily blog reads. It’s a hefty list but I’m dying for an afternoon of blog hopping, where one link leads you to another and another and another. I’m sure I won’t get that afternoon [...]

Dash of Morocco 3 Comments

I was working on a post for faucethead creative yesterday about color palettes for the holidays and might to tweak my copy a bit to include deep blue and marigold after seeing this space today.

Wedding Graphics November 28, 2011 2 Comments

As the big day approaches (it will be awhile, we’re shooing for June of 2013) I think we’ll keep most of the details to ourselves and just share bits of inspiration along the way. We want our guests to be excited and surprised [...]
