I have been eying this new "Wrapped in Ruffles" sweater from Anthropologie. Whoever started the ruffle phenomenon had me in mind! I love the structure they create on a piece of clothing. You're not just dressing- you're selecting a piece of art. If anyone is looking for a gift for me....

Sneaker Savy

I am LOVING these "Out and About Plimsolls" from Boden. I can't decide if I'm going to purchase the pewter or the dalmatian, or both but they look so fun! You could even pull off a black dress with these peppy tennies!

Died & Gone to Vintage Heaven

Where did fossil go? As a kid, I remember every skate shop or buckle store carrying fossil watches. I thought they were non-existent any more. But i received the new catalog in the mail only to find the CUTEST vintage shoe collection, great leather hand bags and of course, the go to watch. Check out the shoes I am dying for...

Wine & Cheese Invitations

Next week is my last letterpress class at Evanston Print and Paper :( So sad. But the good thing is, after I complete the class I can rent studio time! This week I made some invitations for a wine and cheese party we're having next month!

Hello Lover...

If I see anyone with the "campo bag" from jcrew , I will be overcome with jealousy. The smooth caramel oiled leather looks so rich and who deosn't love a bag that patina's and looks better with age?!

My Business Cards!

I printed my own letterpress business cards last night! I've also been playing w/ different options for product shots for my own cards and invitations. Hence the black sand. Can't wait to print more!

Coco Baby Product Tags by Greet Design

These are some product tags that Courtney needed for her brand new product line! Good luck to her over the holiday season in Northern Michigan.

More work to come from Greet Design! Tonight I am printing some letterpress business cards for myself. Yay!

I love these water bottles from Crate + Barrel! Very spa-liscious. They would also make a great vase! One peony sticking out of it like the old company store catalogs :)

Inspiration Everywhere!

Last night we were at the rib fest drinking, eating and being merry while I stumbled upon today's post. My beer label was so cool! I love the old fashioned type they used with the bright orange background. So retro. Some times we forget to stop and look around for inspiration. Who knew Rib Fest would inspire me?!

My First Letterpress Product!

Here are the first products from my letterpress adventure! Our project was to make a deck of cards. I had all suits of the #10 and one each of King, Queen, Ace and Jack. Here they are on a sheet before cutting. So much fun. The press experience was so amazing seeing the finished product! Next week we are cutting and I'm going to try and print some business cards for myself.
