hello, happiness.

The amount of blog posts to read/skim/look through after not checking them for 5 days is out of control. After spending quite some time going through them, I then released that I had about 50 open windows on my computer for various things.

The photo above, from Design For Mankind, is my new favorite thing in the whole entire world. Can we say spot on? It’s just perfect and perfectly describes the perfect way to love.

The image found via Andre Jordan, who has an Ordinary Love Stories on his blog, A Beautiful Revolution. I’m smitten. To the max.



Here are some of the best in case you missed them:

*Hodge Podge Farm crochet geniuses series

*Cut Out & Keep’s decoupaged plaque instructions

*Resurrection Fern’s beautiful post entitled Don’t Waste the Miracle

*Economist’s article on Graffiti: Does it go hand-in-hand with bad behavior?

*Berlin’s Whimsy’s post, Another literary hero

*The Dead Generation via The Nervous Breakdown

*Prick Your Finger’s post about the work of Marie Paysant Leroux’s and the color of emotion

*The story behind my Keep Calm and Carry On poster from Faythe Levine

Part of 3 posters from the Gov’t of Information and “But the ‘Keep Calm’ posters were held in reserve, intended for use only in times of crisis or invasion. Although some may have found there way onto Government office walls, the poster was never officially issued and so remained virtually unseen by the public – unseen, that is, until a copy turned up more than fifty years later in a box of dusty old books bought in auction.

More from this series here.

Oh, and finally, I signed up for Twitter. So, if you’d like you can “follow” me over here, even though I’m still trying to figure it all out.
