More links to start your week. I enjoyed my weekend but Adam was gone so it wasn’t as good as it could have been.

For Print Only just featured a really different, but awesome invitation design. I definitely don’t gravitate toward that shade of pink, but I really like this.

Also, can I get my Gocco back? After reading this, I never realized what I could have created with that little gem of a machine.

This video makes me laugh. so. much.

Has anyone used this resource?

Is this just a lame knock off of the Polaroid? I just love the white, clean design.

I’m going to start using the “Far Far Away” option.

Two books that I’ve recently picked up. Somehow I must find time to keep reading. I enjoy it too much to let that love slip away. Do any of you have any more suggestions? I’m always up for adding more to my library.

I’m working with 1.by.Liz again! We worked together a couple years ago and I’m glad to be designing for her again! Check out her Etsy shop. How amazing are those clocks??

Currently working on a blog design for TOTSUPS.com and her new book series called Charismatic Dogs. To be finalized soon (or possibly now!)

PB&J.

(these can be purchased here. and if you do, please send them to me.)

It would mean so much to me if you would take a few moments out of your day and vote for a book that I designed. It’s been entered into a contest and voting ends November 9th. I’m pretty sure it’s currently 3rd in the leader board. Thank you so much (in advanced) to anyone who votes!

Happy start-of-the-week.

I thought I would share some of my favs lately. Hope your Monday’s rocking.

Is it the color, the letterpress, or the wonderful overall gorgeous design? You decide.

Everything about this blog is great. I’d say, it’s something to write home about.

If I could hand pick my handwriting, I’d choose this style.

I want to frame this piece.

It’s not often that you find a bookcase that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

I don’t often get excited for “unveilings” but I’ve been pretty stoked about this for awhile now.

Make your Monday grand and pass it along.

A favorite excerpt from one of my favorite books. You can take so much from this book, but for some reason this small, small portion always stuck in my head. I guess we’re all fools at some point, right?

Peter: It doesn’t matter much to you, does it?

Katie: What?

Peter: What I’ve been doing

Katie: Oh…yes it does, Peter. No, not too much.

Peter: That’s sweet of you.

Katie: But you see, it’s not what you do that matters really, It’s only you.

Peter: Me what?

Katie: Just you here. Or you in the city. Or you somewhere in the world. I don’t know. Just that.

Peter: You know, you’re a fool. You’re technique is something awful

Katie: My what?

Peter: You’re technique. You can’t tell a man so shamelessly, like that, that you’re practically crazy about him.

Katie: But I am.

Peter: But you can’t say so. Men won’t care for you.

Katie: But I don’t want men to care for me.

Peter: You want me to, don’t you?

Katie: But you do, don’t you.

Peter: I do.
