A Field Guide to Typestaches

Found this darling poster thanks to Things That Matter.

Would love to see this mixed into a whole gallery wall along a hallway.

Just around the corner...

Don't get me wrong. I love winter.

But all this Kansas City slush has got a girl dreaming of a lazy day with some Jack Rogers

and sunnies planning a trip to the pool.

A Question...

My grandfather (who I, sadly, was never fortunate enough to meet) used to be a writer and editor for the Kansas City Star. I wondered what he would think about all of these people "blogging" (me included!).

Love my aunt Tricia's ( youngest of the 8 kiddos) answer:

"Awesome question!!

I bet he would. My mom was very pro-technology and

I think my dad would have gone along with it as well."

So wish I could have met him (and my grandmother!).

A Girl Can Dream...

Loving today's google header to celebrate the 50th anniversary of JFK's Innagural Address.

Makes me dream about DC even more. (Hoping to move there ASAP).

Some of my favorite bloggers (like this one, and this one, and this one) call DC home. Their pictures make me weak in the knees!

Lucky Duck (I mean, Penguin)

Saw this video posted on Peppermint Bliss and fell in love.

Finally someone who adores snow as much as I do!!

HELLO

Just found these images via PattersonMaker. Swoon.

A Good Read

"We laughed and laughed, together and separately, out loud and silently, we were determined to ignore whatever needed to be ignored, to build a new world from nothing if nothing in our world could be salvaged, it was one of the best days of my life, a day in which I lived my life and didn't think about my life at all." - Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

I found this quote via .strawcut. and it reminded me that my cousins gave me the suggestion to read this book over the holidays.

Can't wait to dive in.

After I finish this book of course.

It's really not fair when things like these float around the blogosphere when I'm trying to job search...

Dreaming of a job with a desk so as to put these upon it!

a beautiful tray

some Muji pens in a beautiful cup

a lovely calendar to count down the days to a week long vacation

Intel Visual Life - The Sartorialist

Cannot stop watching this video with Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist.

How inspiring is he??

How amazing to find something that you want to go and do every day!

New Year, New Start

I love the feeling that a new year can bring. While I always mourn the loss of Thanksgiving/Christmas, it is a great time of the year to reflect and renew.

I have been ignoring this baby for a while, but the cinnamon-sugar waffles I made this morning to go with my chocolate milk have inspired me to start again.

The job search continues, but I hope sharing the things that make me happy can bring a little light into my life in the meantime.
