heartland.

i'd forgotten about this print, but i was happy to find it again tonight, especially since we just returned from our midwestern mini-road-trip (stop at cracker barrel and all!).

buy it here.

i'm also really liking this new and slightly creepy print from artist lisa golightly. it's called "night swimmers."


hooray for summer nights, board games, back yards, mosquito bites, & the sound of fireworks in the distance!

getting there

and a trip to west elm today...

hello again

what better time to jump back in than on a cozy winter night?

i'll admit it, i spend a lot of time looking at wedding blogs. mostly because it's just one more way to occupy my time and daydream and fantasize.

i love the idea of this monogrammed banner. aside from the fact that it's gorgeous, don't you just want to wrap yourself up in it? it'd be nice to frame something like this, post-wedding, and hang it up at home...

an admission:

i judge books by their covers. i'm a sucker for a beautifully-designed reprint, even when i already own the book.

currently hanging out in my amazon cart:

pride and prejudice, penguin classics


animal farm, plume

the stranger, vintage


the picture of dorian gray, penguin classics

and all of the penguin clothbound classics, for that matter.

for fun with vintage cover design, check out the pelican project:
