AND I'LL CRY IF I WANT TO

Well folks, I made it to a quarter of a century. Pretty crazy... living on this earth for 25 years.  I have had a lot of great birthdays: pool parties, hair care, cowboys and indians, Whirly Ball, Wet 'n Wild, backpacking trips, concerts, Camp Ozark, and LOTS of times on a ranch in Wyoming.

It is amazing what you can accomplish in a year (not all good stuff of course), and every year just gets better as we grow up.  25 is going to be a monumental year for me; there are lots of changes coming my way, but I plan to face them head on and with extreme enthusiasm! Im so pumped!

 Thanks to all who made this day so special, Cheers!

CELEBRATE!

Well folks, I'm taking off for the weekend,  Happy Fourth of July!  I'll be gettin' down on the dance floor at a good friends wedding. "festive attire optional"... duh, I'll be there, in red, white, blue, and fringe cowboy boots, don't you worry.

Here's a little pink with your RWB today... I want that suitcase! You can find it on Etsy, along with the lighter fluid can, I just love old stuff.

LEAD LEAD

This guy carves letters and objects into pencil lead... ummm totally cool? Intricate, detailed, delicate, and unexpected.  Carpenter, Dalton Ghetti, has been making these tiny treasures for over 25 years.  The one with interlinking rings took him 2 1/2 years to complete, now that is dedication!

Quotes, and Fabric, and Deadlines.. Oh My! Hope your monday was a little slower than mine was...

Here are my favorites from the wide world of letter press... go give a mom a hug!

JUST FINE

Who wouldn't want this on a wall? Especially here in the big city so you could dream of mountains all the day long.  Such simplicity, and I love the scale. These forms are so playful in a Where the Wild Things Are kind of way, perfect for a kids room...

P'S AND Q'S

On my most recent visit to the Brooklyn Flea Market this weekend, I stumbled across some amazing full sets of letter press blocks from dAN's Parent's House.  I love how they look together, and the layers of color from lots of love.

My partner in crime this weekend, Katherine (you can see me snapping this pic in the reflection!).  Always fun to scavenge while sipping Java Splits and munching brownies from Whimsey and Spice, with someone you have known for 24 years! 

Hope you all are having a lovely weekend, enjoy this mellow rainy day, brew some tea, and cozy up with the New York Times... thats what I'll be doing.
