Rainbow


I saw this over at Seesaw design blog and I think it is just so fabulous!! It is already sold out..surprise surprise, but the Etsy shop which is called Flour definitely has a couple other great vintage finds. That is the kind of a a dress that will make passer-byer's days!

Unbelievable!




This shouldn't even be allowed! This woman, Besty Dunlap creates amazing calligraphy. I have seen work like this making the rounds on the blogs and it is just so cool to me to see how calligraphy has been modernized. Work like this is not anything like the calligraphy I learned in Typography 1...oh gosh I haven't thought about that in ages! I spent basically an entire 6 weeks working on and attempting to learn calligraphy, not all that successfully I might add. Maybe I should take a lesson with Ms. Dunlap...I don't think she teaches how to classes. But if she wants to try I will volunteer to be her first student!!

Shoe Crushing

I am IN LOVE with these shoes!!! I want them so bad. They incorporate so many of my loves...obviously high heels is the main one but also they graphic heart is so fun and look at those colors AND they literally have my name on them!! They are a bit too much money for me at the moment, but just you wait and see I will have these shoes at some point and I can't wait.

Collecting




There is this blog A Collection A Day that has been making the rounds, so maybe you have already seen it. It is so sweet and I wish I came up with this idea because I really think that I could it. I love collecting things. I have collections of vintage match boxes and old keys, mostly skeleton Keys. Lisa Congdon is a Artist living out in California ans she will post a new "collection" every day, above are some of my favorites.

Hate Mail from Third Graders

This might be the cutest thing I have ever seen. It is a bunch of third graders' response to when Pluto was declared no longer a planet. My friend sent it to me.

the link is here

I want to do this

I have been planing on doing a project that utilizes sewing / embroidery for a couple years now and I think that Anna Bond over at Rifle Paper just gave me the push I needed. Aren't these invitation just so beautiful! I especially like her use of painting included with the embroidery.These remind me a little bit of my degree project...a very little bit. I should post some images of my project soon, but these certainly have inspired me!!
