It’s a “supersoft” tee, but I’m thinking it will make a fine lightweight sweater too as I adjust to the change of seasons, which tends [...]

Love this fresh take on alphabet cards, from Black Dog Art + Press: I’m able to imagine them in adult and kids’ settings. (Put me down for a “P”, please.) Available at Etsy; $5 a card.
