good mail day

Love good mail days!  Today was this sweetly packaged pile of interesting scraps of paper from lovely design.  True to the name, they are lovely.  Some of these will be for my own personal use, some will be used in a super fun project I’m working on for a certain local film maker.

of earmuffs and ice skates

Today I am completely inspired by Sally Scott.  The little videos are just so incredibly charming, I can’t stop watching them. Oh and the muted colors! (I love me some muted colors) and the stark white of the ice rink.  Sigh, perfection…. via olivet

apple season

We went down to an apple/pear tasting today and it felt so good to get out as a healthy (non sickie) family.  Caramel apples and streusel were had, though nothing compared to my grandmothers.  Having a German grandmother who was an amazing cook sorta spoils any other German food for life.
