This weekend my sister Sophie and future sister-in-law, Dianne, hosted a beautiful bridal shower for me! Here are a few pictures of the delicious food and amazing flowers by Hitched Planning+Floral.
The decorations were based off of my grandmother's bridal shower. It made the event even more special to think that she celebrated in a similar way when she was about to get married. I couldn't have asked for a more lovely afternoon! I truly have some wonderful family and friends.
A few weeks ago I had the amazing opportunity to attend a workshop at Hallmark with artist Ashley Goldberg! Over on the Think.Make.Share. blog you can see an interview with Ashley, as well as some snapshots from the workshop. Hallmark also created a video where she shares some great pattern-making tips. I was even lucky enough to walk away with the cat print pictured in the photo below (via the Think.Make.Share. blog):
Here are a few pictures I took during the workshop. The second image shows some pieces I created during the workshop. If you aren't familiar with Ashley's work I definitely recommend you take a look!
Last weekend Dale and I took a weekend trip to Hermann, Missouri! We were lucky to have great weather while we were exploring. We ate lots of bratwurst and found some great treasures at some of the many antique stores. One of my favorite stops was Typestyles, a place to get inspired by vintage packaging and rummage through drawers of letters. And of course it wouldn't be a trip to Hermann without a wine tasting and a beer flight. I couldn't have asked for a better or more relaxing weekend get-away!

I took this photo when I studied abroad just after my sophomore year of college. I fell in love with Italy that summer (especially the food), but more than that I learned to appreciate time spent traveling. This quote by Samuel Johnson is a thought-provoking way to think about this appreciation, and makes me even more excited for the travels I have ahead of me this year!
Welcome to the very first "Alphabet of the Month!" I find so many inspiring examples of lettering online, I thought it would be great to document some of my favorite alphabets I discover. You may have seen Alice Mourou's Blossom Type on Pinterest, I know I have, but it's great to see the entire alphabet together. Take a look at her website for an even better glimpse into the process that went into creating these letterforms.
Here are a few links to browse this weekend, including this Bxxlght Light Box Sign:
