August Around The Web

I can't believe it is already nearing the end of August! Here is a round-up of some of my favorite inspiration I gathered around the web this month: 

• Poppytalk's feature on Susan Beech's BEAUTIFUL paper flowers is wonderful. Take a peek at her Etsy shop.

• Here is the Crumb Coffee Cake recipe my sister, Sophie, made when she visited St. Louis. It's delicious!

• I loved seeing the before and after shots Emily Henderson shared of Ban.do's new office space. Can I move in?

• These balloon letters make me oh so happy. 

• Think.Make.Share. took us behind the scenes of Mirna Stubbs collection for Studio Ink.

• These Mara Hoffman for J.Crew pants feature parrots. And are on sale! 

This past month also marked the start of my Letters Are Lovely weekly lettering posts. Three weeks in I am feeling energized, and I can't wait to see the variety and evolution that occurs in my lettering over the next year. I haven't undertaken a personal project of this nature before, and I'm excited to see where it will lead. Follow along on the blog, and see the entire collection here!

Llamas Are Lovely

Not only are llamas perhaps my most favorite animal, but this Christmas I received several llama-related gifts. I truly hope that everyone is jumping on the llama bandwagon with me. Here are a few of my favorite llama prints, products, and even a snapshot of one of my past projects:
