Oh, Love
Yesterday’s photos were so gross that I thought we all needed something pretty to stare at. Enjoy!

Yesterday I had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. So you can imagine my delight when I came home and there was a package for me sitting on our front porch! When I saw the box I instantly knew what it was: Christmas presents! It may be a little late but after Peter and I returned from our trip I ordered my friend a letter press calendar that I had been eying for quite some time–and since my mother taught me always to give gifts that you would want to receive, I ordered one for myself as well. Here’s what the package looked like what I cut open the box:
Complete with a little note from Pistachio Press, the Etsy seller that I ordered it from.
Pistachio Press was inspired by vintage tea sets to create the delicate designs that grace this year’s calendar. The pages are attached with a gray ribbon (my favorite color) for an elegant, feminine touch.
Here’s the lovely image that Peter and I will be looking at on our wedding month!
I opted to put the calendar in our office simple because it’s too pretty to procrastinate hanging. I’m not sure if this will be the calendar’s forever home, but for now I think it really softens some of Peter’s boy decor.
The best part of this purchase–Sarah, look away– is that I managed to buy the calendars for 20% off because I waited until after the New Year to make my purchase. It was difficult worrying that I may come back from my vacation to find them sold out, but the price cut made it worth it. Have you bought yourself any belated Christmas gifts?
recently happened across Jessica Hische’s website, Daily Drop Cap. Hische does her part to beautify the blogging world by posting an illustrative initial every working day. She’s already made it through the alphabet and now she’s heading back through it again. I don’t think the drop caps really fit our blogging style but they are a lot of fun to play around with.
It would be a fun idea to take one of her illustrations, blow it up, and frame it in your home or as part of a wedding decoration. Can anyone else imagine tables lettered with these beautiful illustrations rather than numbered? It seems very Anthropolgie-esque to me. What do you guys think of Jessica’s work?
Here are some some others just for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to check out her website.
