...heather's work always makes me smile...

i'll find a way...

The first business I ever had was as a calligrapher when I was 14 years old. I put flyers and my business card in neighbors mailboxes and would address envelopes and certificates for anyone who wanted it. So, there's always been a soft spot in my heart for calligraphy and any exploration of hand-written type. I love this series of sketches and explorations from a calligraphy class in Brazil. And this one (shown) is especially lovely.

booth buddies...

...I'll always love the look of photo booth strips. LOVE this version here by Keetra Dean Dixon whose type I posted about earlier this week. Users enter the booth, pose for 2 shots & exit as usual. During the developing process, the photos are "analyzed" & customized with forecasts consisting of patterns, symbols & messages. SO cool...see more photostrips right here...

party perfect...

On Friday night, I attended a designer's event at Terrain {the garden lifestyle store by Urban Outfitters, Inc} and the cafe space always takes my breath away. I had had only previously been there in the daytime, but at night the space is even more beautiful. Located outside of Philadelphia, it would be amazing for a small party of any sort...see more photos from my recent trip to Terrain right here...
