What do you know? I’m still up to my old tricks.

I love the grimace on this girl’s face, along with her strategically-placed buttons.

If you’ve got it, flaunt it, sisters!

Faythe Levine (of Handmade Nation fame) captured this surreal moment of her mother wearing the exact same sweater as her — thirty years apart.

Inspiring.

p.s. Viewville just wrote in and guess what? All prints are buy one, get one free (plus free shipping!) for you lovely readers. Cool, right? Just enter DFM-LOVE at checkout during the next 48 hours. Happy shopping (thanks, Viewville!)

My intern sent this over, because she knows I love a good portrait.

Oh, interns. You make the world go round.

Also, I’m thinking of writing more on this thing. Are you up for it? ;)

I snagged this goodie from Art Milk, Jaime’s newest site.

Speaking of Jaime, I’m off to speak at Alt Summit for the rest of the week. I’ll be joining a few awesome bloggers while I’m there, but I’ll miss each of you in this space.

See you Monday!
