Chrissie Abbott is my new ultimate life inspiration. Her portfolio is just… indescribable. You can buy these awesome posters here!
Hello friends! I don’t do this often, but I figured I’d share a little about myself and some things I am very excited about, I just can’t contain myself. First off the above picture is just one I took of a Pyrex dish I own and love and have meaning to post for a while. Cute eh? I love the retro Americana imagery.
So anyway, today Brian and I got keys to the house we are going to be renting. This summer we will be slowly transferring from our apartment to a cute, older historic home close to Millikin with lots and lots of space and character. We can’t wait to get settled in and start decorating!
And finally, the thing I am most excited about, today Brian and I are doing a 16 hour road trip (round-trip) to Michigan to pick up a letterpress. I’ve heard people say that when the time is right a press will find you. Suddenly, out of nowhere we stumbled across our perfect match, sooner than we ever expected. We plan to transform the basement of our new house into a silk-screen/letterpress studio and will hopefully be starting a little business. I am so happy that summer has finally arrived and I will actually have a little time to devote to my personal handmade dreams.
And… last weekend I went back to my home home to see my family. Got this cute romper and my sister Grace and I had a fun little photo-shoot! Ahh summer….
I can’t stop looking at all these gorgeous crystals. Wow. Check out many more at Aura Zen Crystals.
Happy Monday all. Thought I’d say good morning with this beautiful photo from Julia Williams.

Happy Valentines day! Hope you’re doing something that makes you happy. My boyfriend and I are spending the day watching Dexter eating yummy sandwiches.
Spent some of Sunday afternoon at the library in search of illustrative inspiration. I got stuck in the folklore section and fell in love with all these old books. I would love to have a collection of these on my shelf. The colors and typefaces are just so lovely! I checked out Forgotton Folk-Tales of the English Countries and A Dictionary of Fabulous Beasts.
Oh, Anthropologie how you tempt me! These clocks are just too cute. They have been officially added to my ultimate dream-time-fantasy christmas list!

Some lovely images from sea shanties’ photostream.
Check out the rockin’ frames on these dream boats! I came across some old, water-damaged fraternity composites and couldn’t help but do a little scanning. I forgot to check what year these are from, but because of the color and hairstyles I’d guess 1960’s. If anyone has any idea let me know! Anyways I’ve been thinking about getting a new pair of glasses and I really want something neat. I’m thinking something chunky and retro with larger frames. If anyone knows of a great place for funky frames please comment! I have no clue where to look!
