Mr Boddington does it again!

Have you ever had one of those sleepless nights where your body is super tired yet your mind is just whirling away? Well, that was me last night. Since I was up till 2:30am, I decided to revisit Mr. Boddington, a personal favorite stationer of mine. I was thrilled to see their gorgeously updated website AND new blog. I didn't end up going to bed until 4am! Hurry and go have a look of their latest =)

Studio on Fire Tour

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to meet up with the owner of Studio on Fire, Ben Levitz in Minneapolis. He showed me and my husband around the studio and let me just say this....when I saw that wall covered with all their letterpressed pieces, my eyes glazed over and felt like I was in design heaven! Even my husband discovered a new found respect for letterpress studios and for a split second, he considered giving up his medical career to become a printer. Haha! right. Studio on Fire was beyond what I imagined to be! Thanks Ben for the tour! And don't forget to check out their blog here!

And now time for me to shut up and show you some pictures:

This is the part where my eyes glazed...


















And this is what made my husband's eyes glaze over...those beer cans!


Here's Ben giving us the grand tour!




thanks!

Sadly, our mini-break in Minneapolis is coming to an end =(. I absolutely love this city and all that it has to offer. We will miss all the yummy eateries, local coffee + pastry shops, museums, and shopping. I do have one last stop to make before we head back to Iowa and I am SUPER excited about this one last visit tomorrow....can you guess? here's a hint: they have a very well read letterpress + design blog called Beast Pieces...

If you haven't guessed by now, I am getting a tour of the super awesome Studio on Fire!
I am just so excited to meet Ben and his staff and can't wait to share the experience with all of you after the weekend!

Stella McCartney for Gap Kids

I am not a maternal person and I never imagined myself wanting kids until I saw Stella McCartney's new line for Gap Kids today! My husband and I went shopping earlier and passed by Gap and saw the ad for Stella's new collection. I checked it out and OMG - TOO scrumptiously cute! Totally love the band jacket!

mini-break!

Currently away on a road trip with my husband. Will be back after the weekend!

for the true foodies out there...

I am totally addicted to this food picture site called TasteSpotting! It's chock full of GORGEOUS food photos that all these bloggers, amateur cooks, and chefs submit pictures to and it's updated daily. If the food captures your interest, all you have to do is click the picture and it will take you to their blog/recipe! Thanks Esther for introducing me to it =)

I'm leaving at the butt crack of dawn for Chicago tomorrow, so this food site should help your day at the office go by a bit faster =).

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

the wonderful world of Cade Martin

I've recently discovered the whimsical work of Cade Martin...and all I can say is...WOW!

Loving these from Bird & Banner!

admiring Bonnie Tsang

I am a BIG fan of Bonnie Tsang's work (she's so fabulous)! Her photos are so dreamy and perfect....*le sigh.... Also, check out her work on Utterly Engaged (My new favorite wedding e-zine).

vintage glam Save The Dates

I've been working on a wedding suite for a very sweet bride that's getting married next year. We're doing a chandelier vintage glam theme in Tiffany blue + expresso brown - such fabulous color combos! Can't wait to have the whole suite letterpressed and in my hands!
