thought of the day : pjs.

"The Cat's Pajamas," one of Emily Martin's new hand-lettered typography prints. This one seriously makes me happy. ($16)

five lovely images...

...to inspire you over the weekend. I must apologize for a rather slow week here. With the transition of seasons, I am seeking new inspiration and undiscovered finds. If you have some links to share, now would be the time. Have an absolutely splendid weekend!

Above photographers/artists (from top to bottom): Anna Moller, Michelle Armas, Chris Craymer, Carl Kleiner, and Irene Suchocki.

why hello, weekend.

Oh, how I am glad the weekend is here. It's been a rough and tiring week. I'm looking forward to a wedding, picture-taking, my weekly work here, and a barbeque with good people. I wish you all a good one!
