  • Today is the 120th birthday of Tamara de Lempicka—one of my favorite artists. The precision, smoothness, and elegance of her Art Deco style inspires me. ••• Tamara de Lempicka, “The Sleeper,” 1932. (📷: WikiArt)
  • ✨New on the Blog ✨ SLOWING DOWN. An anniversary celebration of Goodall Creative + my hopes for the next phase. ••• At the end of the month, I will be moving to Portland, Oregon—where my boyfriend lives—and settling down for a bit. A nomad at heart, there is also a part of me that craves the community, consistency, and comfort found in a stationary lifestyle. My spirit is a whimsical one, and I like it that way. But right now it is yearning for balance, slowness, groundedness. ••• Read the full post on the blog. { Link in Profile }
  • A quirky little air plant. I’ll be settling down for a bit soon and look forward to creating a green oasis in my abode.
  • ✨New on the Blog ✨ DEAR SURVIVOR: AN OPEN LETTER. An open letter to survivors of sexual assault, handwritten by Major Brandon Alford of the United States Air Force. ••• Given the meaningfulness of letter writing and the current climate surrounding sexual assault—as well as my personal investment in its education and prevention—I felt inspired to collaborate with a dear reader on an open letter to survivors of sexual assault. It is my hope that this letter—in its beautifully handwritten form—will provide survivors with a space for healing and empowerment, advocates with a feeling of encouragement, bystanders with a call to action, and critics and skeptics with a compassionate awareness of the issue. ••• Read the full post and letter on the blog. { Link in Profile } ••• Photo by @brandonjalford
  • Yay! For the first time ever, I won something—a vintage collection of airmail envelopes. 💌 Thank you, @mrboddington!
  • ✨New on the Blog ✨ LETTER-WRITING ADVICE + INSPIRATION. A handful of my favorite stationery makers on their letter-writing practice + tools. ••• Here’s a snippet of Lauren Sauder of Studio Ease (@thestudioease) sharing how letter writing impacts her: “Letter writing helps bring you closer to the recipient and form a relationship in an entirely new way. So often we are sucked into our phones and busy getting an instantaneous text to someone, but when we slow down to physically write someone a letter we connect with them in a much different way. It also helps me slow down in my daily life and spend time truly nourishing the relationships I cherish.” ••• Read the full collective interview on the blog. { Link in Profile } ••• Photo by @thestudioease

  • ✨New on the Blog ✨ LETTRES MAGAZINE: A CURATED COLLECTION OF LOVE LETTERS. An interview with Agnes (@agnesonduty) of Lettres Magazine (@lettresmag) on her love of letter writing and the deeper connections it cultivates. ••• So what is Lettres Magazine? In the words of Agnes: “Lettres Mag is a collection of 26 expressions of love from around the world. They are written to and from the people who matter most in our lives: friends, lovers, exes, strangers, mothers, fathers, and our own selves. It was created based on the belief that writing down deeper feelings through love letters is both healing for the self and uplifting to others in a non-paper, digital-savvy world.” ••• Read the full interview on the blog. { Link in Profile } ••• Photo by @agnesonduty @lettresmag
