Moving on up.

Etsy finds located here!

Just got back from New York and already on the search for a new apartment and things to fill it with. I took a walk through the National Stationary Show while in town. It made me super envious of all the amazing small design shops. Now dreaming of an artist studio to make lovely things in. Time for a bigger apartment!

I'll post another bit on the amazing work from the National Stationary show. But till then, here a  letterpress card by my travel companion Dude and Chick, it is perfect for my search for new digs.  

Waiting

Waiting to get on a flight and failing is all too common for me. Today I'm attempting to get to New York. The beauty of stand by.

I do have the company of a great book, South of the Boarder, West of the Sun. Which has the best opening paragraph of any book I've ever read.

"My birthday's the fourth of January, 1951. The first week of the first month of the year of the second half of the twentieth century. Something to commemorate, I guess, which is why my parents named me Hajime- "beginning," in Japanese. Other than that, a 100 percent average birth."

Thanks Ray, for letting borrow this little jem.

Some patterns. Just in time for Mother's day.
