This is the logo I designed for Fat Eye Design. This etsy shop contains prints, textiles, and furniture. The name started as a joke. I was laughing with my friend, who is from China, about how all of my Asian friends think I look Asian. It is because I have almond shaped eyes and heavy eye lids. I told her I have some serious fat eye when I wake up and my eyes are puffy! It was funny, so I kept it. I have had a lot of people ask me what my ethnicity is, and I take it as a compliment. Have I peaked your interest? Both of my Grandparents were half Native America and half Irish. I proudly come from a long line of fat eyes!

These hand drawn letters from Pink Pony Story are great for DIY projects! The best part is you download the file. So, not only do you save on shipping, but the art is your to use on a multitude of projects! The letter can be framed or added to a collection. You can use it to print your own stationary, or add to you scrap booking arsenal. I am always scrabbling for an exexpensive gift that doesn’t look cheap or unthoughtful with custom colors and and $7 a piece this is perfect!

I do most of my work on the computer, but I love to create with my hands. This is a logo I made for my Etsy store.  I used hand drawn fonts to reflect the style of my goods.

Since I was very young my Mom would take me “junkin’ ” with her. Junkin’ is different than antique shopping. It’s where you find a great treasure, rather than just buy one. I think is is where my hot retro love started. I still love to go flee markets with my her. Not only does she share her wealth of information about antiques, but also stories from our families’ past. I never knew people had separate juice glasses, but now I think I’m obsessed! (more…)

I have long admired the letterpress prints produced by Hatch Show Print, one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in the U.S. I was lucky enough to tour their studio in Nashville, TN.I definitely had the huge eyes, big smile, freak show look going on as I took in their massive collection of prints, woodblocks, type, and rare presses. Luckily my boyfriend thinks my type obsession is “cute,” so he was excited too. I had to restrain myself from buying everything in the store. You can buy prints too!

I really like the texture and creativity of these letters by Ryan Frease. (more…)

Is there really anything else to say? I love it!
