calendars - nature

2012 is rapidly approaching. Be prepared with a nature-inspired calendar!

Illustrated Owl Calendar by Gingiber. Who doesn't love owls?! I think these are so beautiful and delicate.

This one is from Modern Printed Matter. I love the way the type works into the illustration for each month. So beautiful!

thankful

I have so much to be thankful for this year. I am truly humbled by how blessed I have been.

In no particular order here are some of the things I am extremely grateful for:

• Healthy and happy children. 
• A devoted and extremely supportive husband. I'm still not sure how I got him but I'm not letting go!
• Pumpkin pie. With maple syrup in it. 
• Ski season!
• Having the job I want and having a flexible schedule.
• Amazing friends and family. I love you all. 

Have a peaceful and loving Thanksgiving!

PS These photos were taken by our friend James of James Wang Photography. You should hire him to do a family photo shoot. It's really the best idea ever.

calendars - typography

It's 2012 calendar time. Are you ready for the world to end? I'm willing to invest in a gorgeous calendar of the entire year, just in case we're still around after May. Here's hoping.

This one is from Two Trick Pony. I love that red on top of the chipboard. Gorgeous!

This one is from Heather Lins. It's printed on wood. So lovely.

ampersand

Take a look at this visual guide to the ampersand. Very interesting stuff!

I adore ampersands. Do you have a favorite?

Awesomeness.
