| letterpress

I'm too tired to put together all the words needed to adequately describe how amazing it was to take a letterpress class with my Mom at fifteen/eleven, taught by Suann of Simplesong Design, in celebration of our joint birthdays. But I had to share the pictures because they're burning a hole in my pocket. If you're in the Alexandria area, you really must stop by the shop. It's my new favorite place to go to indulge in my love of paper.

| in the "studio"

My "studio" currently consists of shoving everything off the dining table and spreading art supplies across it. Here's a glimpse of what went on this weekend at the table.

{At the table... hmmm, I kind of like that as a shop name or a design house. At the table. I'm going to have to remember that one.}





I'll show you the final product(s) next week after the favors have all been gifted.

| barnes foundation gardens

To appreciate The Barnes Foundation watch this documentary, "The Art of the Steal" I'm so glad we got the chance to go while the collection was still in its original home.

| christmas in south carolina

While in North Carolina with family for Christmas, we drove down to South Carolina to visit some friends at their parents' farm. We went for a stroll around the land. Everyone quickly realized that it was hopeless to wait for me because every where I turned there was something else I wanted to photograph. It was a great time with friends and a wonderful time with my camera.

Strolling about...

There was laughing

And some kissing
