weekend mash-up.

Happy Friday, friends! I’m headed down south for some family time tomorrow and am soooo excited to crash the county fair for a lemon shake-up and a pulled pork sandwich. Of course, I’d have way more fun if I was sporting an awesome Foreshore Dynamic tee (or a KrochetKids ‘Love’ tee for charity!) and one of Alessandra Olanow’s totes. I’m kidding, I suppose. Doesn’t matter what you wear as long as there’s a fair (whee! I can rhyme!).

The truth is, I’m slowly learning to fall back in love with my Midwestern roots. Sure, there are no mountains (or embroidered mountains at that!), but it’s all in your perspective. Wherever you live, you’ve gotta make it yours (like Ana’s Panama zines!) and press onward. Besides, home is where you keep your vintage Nintendo console collection, yes?

I’ll sign off for now, but before I go, remember Claire Ashley’s awesome trash bag work? Yesterday, she sent over a sneak peek image of her trash bag pillows (not yet on her site) that she just finished working on, which I posted above. Amazing, right?

Happy weekend, guys!

p.s. Plover Organic is having a 50% off sample sale next week (Aug 4-6th). I’ll be there virtually, of course!

the dailies: seesaw design.

Happy Friday! Today’s a special day for you, as we have the gals joining us from SeeSaw Designs to give you a sneak peek into their daily lives for another Daily series! Enjoy, friends!:

Raquel: I have been hitting the snooze button for the past hour – I am a night person. Oatmeal with a few apricot slices and tea.
Raquel: I am off to the pool for a morning swim – I casually train for triathlons. Shower, get dressed and pick up Feather Lemon for work. I drive past this sign every morning and smile.

Raquel: Feather, my beautiful boston terrier, and I arrive at the office.
Angela: Arrive at the office. Get settled, figure out my priority list for the day, and get to work on client projects and admin. Today it’s a few event posters for our yoga client and a website for a new interior design client.

Angela: This is where our current intern sits. Throughout the day, we check in with her on the projects we’ve assigned to her and give feedback.

Angela: Time for our weekly lunch at our client, Chestnut Lane. We operate her Twitter/Facebook (in addition to other design work we do for her) and in exchange we get a free, delicious lunch. This week it’s some organic kale salad and of course treats (we all have a sweet tooth).
Angela: Meeting with a new potential design client at their location. Fingers crossed, head back to the office to finish up a couple projects for the day.

Angela: Once a week I photograph items for our vintage shop and it’s always funny to see the clean office explode with amazing finds all three of us have brought in.

Lindsay: After a long day of printing at the letterpress studio I head home. I impulsively stop at goodwill and rescue a few vintage dresses.

Lindsay: I get home and water my plants while my husband Ryan prepares a delicious assortment of prosciutto and kale bruschetta.

Lindsay: After dinner Ryan and I hop on our tandem and take a trip through our 1950s Phoenix neighborhood.

Lindsay: I play with my cat Finn, watch some tv and call it a night.


Thanks, ladies!

a modern chess set.

I have no idea how to play chess (my brain doesn’t function that way), but I’d love to learn on this chic little set.

With a name like Butt Johnson, you almost have to be an artist, yes?

floor doodles.

I’d hardly call this craft a doodle, but Heike Weber draws in permanent marker on vinyl floors. INSANITY!

Come to my home next, Heike? I’ll bake you cookies!

site of the week: hippy kitchens.

Pretty self-explanatory, no? This site is definitely worth a peek if you’re a fan of [mocking?] floral wallpaper, orange Formica or patterned Crock Pots.

Enjoy!
