I’ll carry it with me

Some of my Etsy favorites. A leather clutch via valhallabrooklyn, a set of red luggage via redpopshop, and purple carry on via thevintagesupplyco. Someone please buy them. So I don’t.

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.

Photo Set

I shot an entire roll of film on my Canon EOS Rebel X and then developed them last Sunday. These were some of my favorites, edited in Photoshop. Click on them to view the originals on Flickr. What is your opinion? Edited photos or the original? I’m partial to both.

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*

Columbus Has a Beach?

…not really. But it sure does know how to produce the sunshine! And pretty clouds. Happy Saturday.
