December Around The Web

I love discovering and being inspired by artists online. This month I discovered Kristi Kohut, and simultaneously fell in love with her bold brush strokes. Below is one of my favorites, as well as a few other links I discovered this month:

• If only I had time to make this before my New Year's celebration...

• A fun peek into Jenna Lyon's world. 

• The styling of this photo shoot was just so lovely. 

• I had so much fun being a part of this workshop for Think.Make.Share.!

• I would LOVE to purchase one of Tiff Manuell's clutches. 

• The new Star Wars movie has me wanting this adorable BB-8 Itty Bitty.

• If you haven't listened to Limetown, Season 1 is now complete and ready for binge-listening.

• I'm excited to see how the Pantone Colors of the Year are used in 2016!

Favorite Costume Ideas

Halloween is right around the corner and I have started to brainstorm ideas for my costume this year. While I have promised my husband I will be Burt Macklin and Janet Snakehole from Parks and Rec on Halloween night, Friday night may require a costume as well! At the moment I am leaning toward the cactus idea. I can't get enough of Studio DIY's costumes!  (Last year I dressed up as a champagne bottle based off one of Kelly's ideas.) I know I will stumble upon many more amazing costume ideas in the coming weeks, but go ahead and enjoy some of my favorites!

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!

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!
