May 21, 2014 // kristen // 0 replies

Illustrator and hand lettering artist, Jill Howarth, is just finishing up her 40 days of lettering project, and there are so many wonderful examples of hand lettering to be found in this group that I had to dedicate a Hand Lettered Love to her work. Head on over to Jill’s website or to her Flickr to see more of her fantastic “40 days” illustrations.

New from Ferme à Papier

May 19, 2014 // kristen // 0 replies

Ferme à Papier is introducing their new, wanderlust-inducing line at the National Stationery Show this year (booth #1936), and I’m totally digging the Tahitian Parisian vibe and the mix of painterly and geometric styles present throughout the collection. It’s a great mix of organic and structured elements, and the earthy palette gives the cards, calendars, notepads, and other paper goodies in the collection such a warm, modern vibe.
