Currently admiring…
The work of It’s Not What I Thought, a graphic design and media production based out of Sacramento, California.
Monday Link Love
I spent my weekend helping friends move, however, I wish I had been sleeping like in the photo above. So many links for you this week. Enjoy!
- Pink and Gold wedding invitations…*sigh*…I love them.
- I’ll let you know if this is delish later. Ice cream + anything can only be wonderful. Especially in this heat. Also this. Peach. Yum.
- Just another reason to go to London.
- It’s true. It’s the simple things for me.
- Old nightstand…or a new desk?
- Painted driftwood. I love it.
- These Hammerpress posters are wonderful.
- Making memories with your old school camera. I’ve been doing that. Take a look.
- A great way to show your love of books.
- I’m finding my own taste in jewelry. This is an example of exactly that.
- You can now show your portfolio on Linkedin.
Mad Men
In honor of Mad Men Season 4 starting tonight, I thought I would dedicate this post to our favorite advertising executives and all things Mad Men. I’ve stumbled across so many articles this past week about the wonderful show and thought I would share. Enjoy!

Long Time Coming
It’s been a long time coming but we are finally getting some art on the wall. Pictured in the top photo are three 24″ x 36″ posters. The two posters on the end are designed by my pal Kellyn Walker. The poster in the center was one that I designed. We both designed them during our senior year in college and so having them blown up, framed and hung is something pretty special.
A shot of our bedroom includes a lovely print of Mark Rothko’s work. Seeing his work in NYC was one of the greatest highlights of my trip there. Since my photos are dark and a bit grainy, I included screenshots of the posters so that you can see them in better detail.
Monday Link Love
Hello world. I hope your short weekend felt longer than usual. The photo above was found via Pinterest but originates here.
- Jellyfish inspiration.
- I love Gwen. I just saw “The Talented Mr. Ripley” at the drive in and she’s great. I may also be biased. I’ve seen Coldplay seven times in concert so her relationship with Chris Martin may have influenced me.
- I love her lists. Especially this one!
- Now you can have a secret identity.
- I just bought peaches. This looks delish!
That’s all I have. Follow me on Twitter. I pump out lots of fun links all week!
States Away
I received a lovely package from my friend Kellyn yesterday. It contained all sorts of treasures and it made me miss her all the more. Inside I found a custom West End Market Baggu, a handful of Madaket Beach matches, a bar of Beekman 1802 soap (Mint+Rosemary), a package of Nat Sherman Fantasia lights, a Tocca SPF 30 towelette, and a sweet note. Kellyn is currently working at the West End Market in Nantucket and you can read their wonderful blog here. I’m wishing that I could visit but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to. However, I got a little taste of the market yesterday in the mail. *oh and excused my chipped red nail polish*
