When I find something I like, whether it be ice cream (Bi-Rite chocolate) or jeans (J Brand), I will faithfully stay true to the brand.  Last semester I found this notebook, made by the Spanish company MiquelRius, I knew that I had found the perfect pad of paper.  Perfectly ruled lines (small by not teeny) and a nice study but flexible cover, color coded sections, recycled material.  I'm telling you, they are amazing.  So amazing that I have been waiting for five weeks for my local art/paper store to restock them!

my book, "the daydream."

it's a carousel book, made out of three layers of paper that get sown together with thread, on the front edges.  I wanted it to have a real handmade feel, since it is a personal story.  the images are all taken by me, or by someone in my family.  the text depicts a dream I used to have about my father building a flying car.  we'd float across the air and ocean, and be able to travel anywhere.  click on larger versions of the photographs if you want to read it.  it was a lot of work, as always, but worth it in the end!

Holiday Cards

I am totally in love with these holiday cards by the talented Anna Bond. Her illustrations remind me of Jean de Brunhoff and the Babar books of my youth.

I HEART hearts

I find these heart invitations from the lovely duo over at Bird and Banner to be just lovely. So pretty and sweet!
