Last night was my second PVD Lady Project networking night and I had a great time meeting & chatting with talented ladies. So happy to catch up with Sarah from Parrott Design Studio, Erica from Foxtrot Press, and my friend Ashley as well. Looking forward to the next one this June!

Simple and colorful screen printed tea towels from Elkhorn Design. I love the pippies print!

Came across Violet Cakes (in London) this week and it looks so lovely! Not sure when I’ll be traveling next, but I definitely want to make a visit to their shop whenever that may be. Yum!

This wall covering from Peter Fasano is gorgeous! Would love to see it on a wall.

Came across the Monmouth Coffee (in the UK) over the weekend while doing some online research for a project, and fell in love with their storefronts. Someday, I’d love to have a studio with a welcoming and elegant façade like their shops.

It’s Friday! I’ll be working through the weekend but will finally get to spend some quality time with my husband too. Here’s some images from a Save the Date I was printing yesterday… will share the final results soon!

This kitchen from Ben Pentreath Ltd. is so utterly gorgeous. Daydreaming today of baking scones in that space, instead of the countless hours of photoshopping I’ve been doing the last 3 days…

I gardened a lot this weekend and it was so needed! That was one of my biggest regrets last year: that I never found the time to be in the yard. I really missed that quiet time weeding, pruning, and planting. It was so gorgeous this weekend and everything seemed to be happy: the flowers, the birds, the bugs even – and it was so relaxing to be a part of it. It seems there’s nothing a good couple of days working outside can’t cure.

I photographed all of my letterpress work this past week and now the long process of sifting through hundreds of images and photoshopping the chosen ones begins. Looks like I’ll be working this weekend! Suppose to be gorgeous though, so hopefully I’ll get out in the garden a bit too.
What are your plans this weekend? Hope you have a great one!

This Jenny Packham dress looks incredible on the gorgeous bride, Karen. Cannot get over the detail on that dress!
