Famous almost

Take a closer look at your Target Weekly Ad this week.
HAHA. Thanks for the nod Jesse darlin!

Floral

Took some photos of the lovely flowers I got today. They somehow seem even more romantic now in black and white. Perhaps I've been single for far to long... Yearning for more romance in my flowers. But, they really do liven up my apartment, that is currently in disarray with moving.

This summer. This song. These people.

Summer Pools

Died when I saw Morgan Hiscocks instagram shot of this pool (top pool). It looks way too similar to the shot I directed for Target in June (bottom pool). Same floats, but the male models are definitely working it better than the girls. In love.

Shop Portland

Antsy to visit Portland in a couple weeks. 

Always wanted to go. 

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.

Darling

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

Hopping on a plane in a couple weeks to New York with lady friend. 

It'll be my first time staying in an airbnb apartment.

Dreary Spring

Seeing patterns from freelancer friends Jessie, Katie and Emma. Feeling a little jealous of their time for special projects, so I've started one of my own. I intend to add some color, but it doesn't seem fitting with the foot of snow dumped on MN yesterday. Someday spring will come and color will again appear in our lives.

Inspired to make a Etsy Treasury too, check it out.

Decisions.

Two beautiful bikes. Too similar, can't decide. Suggestions?
I need to do some more test riding.
Dear Minneasota, Please stop snowing so I can ride these bikes. K?! Thanks.

Babies of Knowledge Etsy Shop Coming SOON!

I'm super excited to announce that I will be launching my Etsy shop THIS FRIDAY. It's been a long time coming and a lot of late nights on the weekends. But I'm glad to be getting back to my crafting roots. I'm starting small with only 9 items, but I'll be slowly adding more throughout the year. Hope you're as excited as I am.

Follow me on instagram and twitter if you want to see bits as I make them @samifoust
Here's a sneak peek of the shop in progress:
