I’m seriously coveting this whale tee and tote bag (can I call them cute? I want to!) from Marlow and Sons, found while searching (in vain) for mail-order of Mast Brothers Chocolates.

This is going to be a letterpress heavy week. (I’m warning you now.) There are too many great things to share, and one of them is Papered Together’s 2009 calendar. Here’s what I love about it. Not only are the monthly illustrations adorable (check out that cute bee below), each is a card, too! When the month is over, you simply separate the card from the calendar along the perforation, write a note, and pop it in the mail. (envelopes included) If you need a gentle reminder to write more letters, this is the perfect way, isn’t it? Check out the calendar here. And stay tuned for more about Papered Together later in the week.

love the envelopes!

If you clicked over this morning hoping to hear about the fabulous baby shower, shopping and cultural escapades that were supposed to be my weekend, well, it didn’t happen. Instead, I had a date with my bed for most of Saturday, with a fever between 101 and 102. Delightful, huh?
So, instead of telling you about the shower, I’ll highlight my present, beautifully wrapped by Chandra at Greer. And tell you that Smart People is a pretty good movie to watch, even when you’re not feeling well. The rest of Saturday is a blur ….. I haven’t been sick in a long time, and it felt odd.
On Sunday morning, the boys went out to pick up breakfast and they brought home some creme brulee french toast for me. No good photos for you as it was in a togo box, but it was very tasty.
The good news is that things can only improve.
