Letters Are Lovely 1
Here I go! I will be sharing a some hand lettering explorations here on the blog, as well as on Instagram, as a way to further explore hand lettering. Here is the first:
Sophie in St. Louis
This weekend my sister, Sophie, visited St. Louis! She is one of the rare few who can convince me to cook Pinterest recipes, and I'm sure glad she did because we ate WELL. If gnocchi mac & cheese isn't enough, she also made coffee cake. We spent some time exploring the city, highlights being a visit to Flowers & Weeds, and a trip to the CAM. I also spent some time with my watercolors, which was a nice break after a busy work week full of computer time. Here are a few snapshots from our sister-bonding weekend!
13:1 Lost in Translation
I recently decided it was time to take some better photos of the letterpress book I created way back when I studied abroad in Italy. This trip was one of my most memorable college experiences, and the opportunity to take a letterpress workshop at the Tipoteca Italiana was definitely a highlight. (I also couldn't resist including the beautiful flowers I picked up at Flowers & Weeds. If you find yourself in St. Louis check out their new space!)
July Around the Web
I can't believe we are heading into the last week of July, this summer has been a quick one! Here are a few quick picks I have found browsing the inter-webs lately. I am super excited about the beautiful new rug I just ordered from Arro Home, I can't wait to see how it looks in our apartment. I also have to recommend the lemon poppyseed cake recipe from Lauren's Latest blog, it's delicious! The Catalina Bag by Lo and Sons is at the top of my to-purchase list, it would be perfect for my commute to work each week. Enjoy the rest of these links!
