love stories

I recently stumbled upon the brilliant typographic work of Marian Bantjes {via iLT}, specifically her Love Stories series – a visual essay on the people and things that Marian loves. Love Stories was featured in the August 2008 issue of Monograph, published by Creative Review. Magnificent. I can't stop looking at it.

The Boston Terrier card by Beau Ideal {via Oh Joy!}.

where did may go?

It's already the last day in May, and I've just realized that I only posted twice this month – where did the month go!? It was a busy month – I took a bookbinding class at the The Print Studio in Hamilton, finished wedding stationery for a couple of my close friends, and did lots of baking and gardening.

As the weather is getting nicer {but still not as nice as it should be for the end of May!}, I've been spending more and more time at the beach, and in the backyard with Maude.

I hope you had a great May! Thanks for reading :)
