I have a confession to make. Until a few weeks ago I knew nothing about photography. Words like f-stop, aperture, exposure, and ISO meant nothing to me. I put my camera in auto mode, turned off the flash, and had to take tons of photos in order to get a few nice looking shots. I [...]
I just added several new jotter designs to the shop! This summer I’ll be working with a printing company to manufacture my jotters in bulk. My plan is to spend less time printing, folding, and stapling and more time being creative. By outsourcing the printing I will also be able to offer my jotters at [...]
Every shop needs a sign, right? I picked up some hanging metal letters from Lackluster Co, and I’m going to suspend them in my studio. I love them! I think they would also look great displayed in my bathroom over the sink “WASH YOUR HANDS”, in my kitchen “DROP THE COOKIE, FATTY”, or over my [...]
Here’s some stuff I’m currently crushing on. Sometimes blogging lets me satisfy my shopping urge without spending a penny. Sometimes it doesn’t.

Aren’t they lovely? They remind me of the Caribbean! Did you partake in any April Fool’s trickery today? 1 [...]
How about a little window shopping this lovely Friday afternoon? It shocks me how many splendiferous products are available on Etsy. Just when I think I’ve found all the good stuff a new batch of favorites presents itself! I broke out my thesaurus to come up with splendiferous. Sometimes I feel like I use the same [...]
I never thought a tea towel could make me laugh out loud, but these ones sure did. The idea of drying my dishes with someone’s actual beard or beehive is enough to make me gag, but wouldn’t these adorable towels be fun to have in your kitchen? If you haven’t seen Donna Wilson’s work before [...]
Do you go through color phases? I do. Never ask what my favorite color is. It’s too confusing. In high school I wanted everything to be blue. My walls were blue, my bedding was blue, and even my wardrobe was blue. In college I was just a mess (come on, there’s only so much you can [...]
