I have been a big fan of Vermont Farm Table since their retail shop opened in downtown Burlington last year. I think I actually gasped when I saw the storefront for the first time (for shop pics, check out my guest post on Paper Pastries last Spring). So I was psyched when they asked me to design customer cards for the shop. We did a couple of versions — one featured illustrations of a few of their key product categories: tables, benches, rolling pins, + cutting boards. The other had space for notes so customers could jot down measurements, etc. while browsing. The front of both cards featured the barn/workshop of Vermont Farm Table owner and founder, Dustin Glasscoe. It has been so nice to collaborate locally with a company that I respect and admire… big thanks to Dustin, Cami, and Will. Stay tuned for more projects down the line.

P.S. I shot these pics on my go-to cutting board (above) that I use everyday. It’s made of reclaimed wood and is the perfect size if you’re short on counter space (or if your counters are now stamping + painting stations like mine). The cutting boards are available in the shop on College St. now and I believe will be online soon.

I’m on a travel kick lately as my last couple of posts have definitely been influenced by getting out of town for a bit. It must be the 80 degree temps in Vermont last week (somehow we’re back in the 30s already!)… Or perhaps it’s all the weddings I have been working on recently, each in its own unique location. Thought it would be fun to share a few of these destinations and how they were hand-lettered for their respective save the dates or invitations. I love seeing them all together and being reminded of the distinctive personalities of each wedding + couple.

Love this vintage travel diary my Mom + sister got me for Christmas last year. It’s the perfect little size for taking on the road. Now I just need to fill those pages up…! Hope you have an adventurous weekend.

Really inspired by my new (old) book, which was a lovely surprise in the mail from my friend MWL. Getting mail is the best, but getting a package?! Next level. Perfect addition to my collection of books that I am shamelessly judging by their covers. Thanks, M!

It’s a monumental week for the Girls Scouts. Happy 100 years!
My Brownie sash from the ’80s (dang, look at all those patches, right?!). Big thanks to my Mom, who was the fearless leader of Troop 493 for 7 years. Extra points for always letting us toilet paper the other cabins.
P.S. Some new research on the positive effects Girl Scouting has on women’s lives.
P.P.S. Still the best movie ever.

Big thanks to Nicole of Scarlet & Sterling for introducing me to this Swedish Dream Sea Salt Soap. I mean, how perfect is this packaging?! And once opened, how beautiful is the soap itself? This would make a great favor or welcome gift for a seaside wedding or event. I think the original packaging is amazing, but if you wanted to personalize it, a simple cotton bag + anchor stamp would do the trick. Soap available here and anchor stamp found here.
