pretty things

The power went out at work today so we got to go home a little early. It feels a like a holiday and I have all kinds of little projects to finish up tonight. I’m so excited to started on them, but before I go here are some pretty things that I just love!

I’m so glad I saw Bryn’s post on The Sketchbook Project. I love their tagline, “It’s like a concert tour but with sketchbooks.” Each participant signs up pays the $25 fee and receives a brown moleskin book and a theme and they fill their book with drawings, paintings, etc. And then the books go on tour!  I’ve always wanted to join in and I think I will for sure this year, just need to order my book!

We reorganized our studio/office this past weekend and we finally  found a place for our beautiful Corona typewriter a well loved hand-me-down from Joel’s grandma.  I’m hoping we can get it fixed up and maybe type up some Christmas post cards. I know I’m thinking way too far ahead, but wouldn’t that be neat!

Rosie Music’s sweetest new print, Secretary Kitty.

I think Miss Kitty looks so glamorous at her job. Sometimes I wish we all dressed a little more My Girl Friday with high waists, hair just so, and some well applied lipstick. Shabby Apple’s 1943 collection seems like the perfect power-dress solution!

Two of my favorites: Casablanca and Ingrid

One last cute thing, I love Elsie’s new shop stickers! So adorable!

    I’ve been thinking of doing the sketchbook project. Don’t know how swamped with school stuff I’ll be though. Hmmm.
