Pretty things to see and hear

I've been trying to post my shirt photos, but Rob and I have been playing "camera tag" - I've taken the photos but he keeps leaving his camera at work. I've decided to do a post with a few things I purchased, made, or experienced recently.

I love letterpressed items. There's something about the tactile feeling of paper and the indentations and the handmade-ness of it all that I just adore! I've bought a few things from port2port press and I missed out on her 2007 calendar, but I found this calendar through this guide to buying art.



This is from etsy seller ilee. Unfortunately, they're sold out, but it brings a smile to my face every time I see it on my desk.

These are some of my favorite months.

I also bought a piece of art from Amy Ruppel. Her items always sell out fast, so I commissioned one from her that was very similar to one she had sold earlier.

This is called "heartfelt". I highly recommend getting one commissioned - it took mere days and she was fantastic about asking about colors, likes, etc.

Before I gave my niece and nephew their dolls, I managed to get a family portrait on the mantle.

(The items next to Clara the cat are schmoo salt and pepper shakers - cute!)

Rob, my sister Mina, and I went to the Keane concert at the Wiltern a couple of weekends ago. What a great show! Rob managed to record a few songs on his camera here, here, and here.

Mina and I sang our little hearts out for most of the show - I love this picture because I'm sure the girl sitting behind us thought we were the biggest freaks!
