Abecedary of Type Inspiration - D

Victorian Ephemera

hello.

Back from a week of much needed sunshine in the Cal. desert.  Yum, vitamin D! Visiting family, the boys loved being spoiled and of course all of the swimming and water fights.

We went on a hike in the canyon and I caught this great picture of a hummingbird on my lil ol camera. Only one shot showed the purple as she turned her head for me 'just so'.

So very excited

to invite you to Spellbound - Create Your Dreams!  A four day creative retreat hosted by Shea Fragoso and Debbie Murray of A Gilded Life and The Stash Society.

The event will be held at the historic Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, California this November 8 - 11, 2012.

The weekend will include a Thursday evening Welcome Dinner, workshops on Friday & Saturday including jewelry making, papercraft, painting and more, a Mercantile on Friday evening, a Saturday luncheon and a Sunday luxury bus to the Rose Bowl Flea Market! I am SO up for this!!

Stay tuned, because I can't wait to tell you more and when you can register!

 

A valiant effort -

at battling Internet Time Suck. You know when you fall down an internet rabbit hole and come up for air only to realize that you spent far too much time down there? I don't like that. I have installed apps on both Firefox and Chrome that limit my time on  designated time wasting and tempting sites. I allow myself a certain amount of time on these sites, and once it's used up I am reminded to GET BACK TO WORK. The smart folks at Lifehacker helped me. {no, not one of my designated stay-away sites}

 THE APPS - For Firefox  and For Chrome.

Portlanders!

Went to this opening last night of a good friend and talented photographer.  Locals, try to make it if you can - you will be rewarded!

The new old.

I have a serious sweet tooth for this vintage tooth piece. COVET!!
