soul story | "foot stools"

Inspiration is everywhere. We find it in the beauty around us, in the love and kindness of others or even simply watching someone accomplish something amazing. I come across a video that made my entire soul smile. As humans, the spirit and drive we have the ability to possess is unreal.

  

Thank you to Ryan over at pacing the panic room for sharing.

font love | abraham lincoln

Lost Type Co-Op is one of my favorite little spots on the web. They have recently released another beauty (designed by Frances Macleod) appropriately named Abraham Lincoln. Why Abraham Lincoln? Well...because it possesses the same qualities as it's namesake.tall. skinny. honest.

I'm sure this will quickly become one of my favs.

tiny prints holiday designs | inspiration board

Seems hard to believe...but I've actually been knee deep in holiday design mode for the past few weeks. My first round of submissions were due last Friday for tiny prints holiday. I always create my own  inspiration board to use while designing. It is an invaluable resource. I print and hang this on my bulletin board...so it's a constant reminder and source of inspiration. As you can tell...I'm really feeling some "non-traditional" color pairings this year.

 It was an exciting day yesterday for one of my retail partners, itzy ritzy. Their awesome reusable 

snack bags were featured on their "GMA Deals & Steals" - baby edition.  

It was super fun to see my rodeo drive fabric being carried around the stage.

Congrats to the entire Itzy Ritzy team! You can watch the feature by going here

etsy find | scabby robot handmade leather bags

I've had this etsy shop bookmarked forever. The handmade leather bags are amazing. I'm not sure what I'm waiting for to make my purchase....I think it's just too hard to pick just ONE. I love ALL of them. I've narrowed my favorites down to these three:

classic red

distressed gray

lemon yellow
