i love {lindsay letters}!

 since the moment i saw her work, i was in love.  lindsay of lindsay letters is nothing short of incredible. her modern + whimsically penned works are a must-have!  i'm so excited about the new lindsay letters shop so everyone can get in on the fun.  this whatever is lovely print in rose gold is one of my favorites. 

 lindsay also released a new holiday line!  since i'll probably be in the dc/va area for christmas, i can totally see this white christmas print on my wall in eager anticipation for some good snow this year.

 here's a quick look at the other holiday prints.  really, they're all fabulous.  how could you choose just one?!

 until i have a permanent home i'll be holding off on getting one of these, but i'm all about having a good stamp.  lindsay's custom stamps are phenomenal and so unique.

 i owe my obsession with lindsay's work to my boss lady at fig. 2 design studio who knows all these fabulous people who do amazing things.  we recently created this nautical wedding suite for brides magazine with lindsay {grab a copy and check it out!}.  big thanks to MK for the stunner pic.

hand lettering will never ever go out of style for me.

now get on over to lindsay's shop and continue swooning! (;

video: silkscreen t-shirts {matt wertz}

i've been taking a silkscreen class this semester that has been loads of fun. learning the process, designing the art, picking and mixing the colors - all a very time-consuming process that produces a beautiful product. matt wertz posted a video about his shirts for his new album & how they are made. take a look at the silkscreening process!

typography thursday

if you're my friend, you probably know of my deep dislike of the font "comic sans". this overused, and often misused font is deeply misunderstood. the comic sans criminal website is hilarious, and explains how terrible it is to use such a font so nonchalantly.

share this with your fellow comic sans abusers and misusers. they're all out there, i know you are. i see it on business e-mails at work and company websites. spread the word!

and here are a few pieces for the home for all you type nerds.

fabulous font coasters by carolina cottage, $20

i love pride and prejudice and there are so many cute jane austen inspired works including this

mr. darcy proposal dish towel by brookish, $11

blessings & hope,

font frenzy

forget words with friends, angry birds, or cut the rope. i recently bought this app for my iphone called the font game and it is crazy awesome. you could say i'm addicted, or very close to it. i'm learning all these new fonts and being tested on my knowledge of the classics. yes, i am a typography nerd. all thanks to those years in yearbook.

and the nerdiness continues...

j'aime la France

last summer i had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in france. i stayed with a french family in a small town about 1.5 hours from paris, and i fell in love with the french language, culture, and life. i know that many think the french are snobs, that they're rude and paris is overrated - but it's a stereotype just like any in the U.S. i came to find that the french are a wonderful people, and that paris in it of itself is a whole different "country" than the rest of france (although i still want to go back to paris). thanks to catherine for this video.

c'est pour les gens qui aiment la france. france me manque beaucoup, mais j'espère revenir une autre fois.
