When it’s on the trees, and the grass. It’s lovely how it articulates the branches and makes everything seem fresh. It even brightens up the light. What I don’t like is the end of cute shoes. And mine have been stored away, awaiting the thaw. Hopefully, we’ll have a December thaw so I can ballet flat a bit more in ’08. It is supposed to be warmer than normal this winter (or so I’ve heard).
Otherwise, I’ll have to pencil in my Merrells with everything for the foreseeable future. Blah.

For once, I seemed to have timed an obsession well. My new hero(ine), Tina Fey, is Vanity Fair’s January cover girl. Not to mention, the New Yorker reviews 30Rock this week. Yes!

It’s December, it’s snowing, and I think I need to up the ante on the lip balm front. Somehow, balms in a pot seem more moisturizing (maybe it’s because you have to rub it in). Sara Happ’s lip slip packaging is too pretty not to try. Available online, or perhaps at a store near you?
Another title for this post could easily be “Why you should listen to Google”. Because Google Reader had been suggesting that I check out Seattle designer Erin Jang‘s blog, hello. So glad I did because I loved what I saw. The photos above are from a bridal shower invitation for Erin’s friend Minjung. The invite’s layout reminds me of New York Magazine’s style, which is a good thing. And you know I love wraparound mailing labels!
Below are two examples from a calendar Erin made for a church handmade gift swap. The rules? No money could be spent. Looks good to me ….. I especially like the notes tucked into/sticking out of the pockets.
If you’d like to see more, I suggest you also add Erin’s blog to your readings. Hello, hello.!

Oh I am
loving
this. Present & Correct‘s 2008 Advent Calendar launches today, and here’s the deal: Each day they’ll release one cute paper bag filled with bits and bobs. (Example shown above.) When it’s gone; it’s gone. I’m in for one day, at least. How about you?
