2014 Christmas Cards

One of these years, I won't be so last minute about things. I actually had a Christmas card design prepared months earlier but, when push came to shove, I was feeling a little art deco and switched things around.

The cards are simple, and I had a two-hour window while my daughter napped to do the make ready and run 100 cards through the press twice. Miraculously, I just barely made it.

They're not perfect and they didn't all arrive at their destinations before Christmas, but... we had a card! (And a lovely new family photo, thanks to James Everett Photography.)

Kinfolk: ice cream + flowers

What a brilliant idea. I was at the San Francisco Ferry Building earlier today and checked out the latest issue of Kinfolk at the Heath outpost. I'm always in awe of Kinfolk's general beauty (Heath's too), but this ice cream/floral spread is exceptionally beautiful. I think the prettiest shots are not even pictured here.

Floral Alphabet by Anne Lee

I love coming across cool stuff in the blogosphere, and in more recent months, via Pinterest. The latter is where I first spotted Anne Lee's Floral Alphabet. At first I thought it was a font, but no - even better - it's the real deal. Images by Anne Lee Designs.
