Got my copy and got my ticket to go to the book signing event on Oct. 10!

on being...

A brief list of recent things that make me happy: the fall, changing colors, cool nights,
potential, birthdays, playing soccer, riding my bike, girlfriends, days off, & love.

back to school

I used to love reading the Seventeen magazine back-to-school issue every fall. 

There were so many cute sweaters I would never own! This Etsy treasury reminds of the 

excitement of new school outfits combined with the dread of having to start another year.

Kinfolk Magazine is a beautiful new online mag that is dedicated to small gatherings of friends
that are simple and authentic. The design is lovely and the photography is dreamy, as is this
short video that introduces the concept and captures perfectly a summer picnic with friends.

watercolor + business

 

How gorgeous are these watercolor letterpress business cards? I love the idea of each card 

being different and a tiny work of art. Plus they would be fun to make.

summer at the lake

 

Here's a fun round-up done by Design Sponge for the summer classic, The Parent Trap, starring 

Hayley Mills. I need to watch this again soon. The first part of the movie takes place at a summer camp for girls. I really wish there were summer camps for grown women. I would totally do that.
