Eye Love You

Good morning, and Happy February! I think my favorite part of this charming letterpress Valentine’s Day card is the spool of thread on the back. Such a clever detail. From dsharp.

Friday Flickr Five

instaxmini

Hello from chilly Chicago! I’ve been making the most of it by playing with my new camera. My parents bought me a Fuji Instax Mini for my birthday, and I’m quite liking the small size of the pics as they shoot out of the camera. Film runs about $1 a photo, so the pace will slow, but it’s been loads of fun this week.

On with the Five:

  1. The Berry Bunch
  2. untitled
  3. addie’s sunshine
  4. breakfast
  5. heart towel

As for the weekend, I’m excited to be attending a hand-tied bouquet class tomorrow with Chandra. (Can’t wait to see what we put together!) I’m also hoping to find a pair of jeans that fit me, and “fit” me. That task is harder than it would seem.

See you Monday.

J.Crew February

I’ve cobbled together an outfit from J.Crew’s new arrivals for February. Hoping that the dress is a wee bit longer on my non supermodel legs :)

Grace beat me to it, but Sesame Letterpress has some lovely new product out in advance of the NY Gift Show. I’m a big fan of their animal coasters, and the larger image size is a fresh twist. (There are greeting cards + notepads, too!) You can catch a glimpse at their online shop, or Flickr stream.

I do believe this handbag would give a springy pop of color to my typical all-grey ensembles. I’m in love with those pompons! Available at Barneys.

Bell’occhio Felt Hearts

I think a garland of felt hearts would make the perfect Valentine’s decoration. And where better to procure said hearts than Bell’occhio?

This adorable dress popped up in my reader today. If I had a little girl I would snap this up, front unseen.
