I adore this new children’s book by artist Tom Slaughter. I recently picked one up for my niece (and yes - a copy for myself, how could I not??). The book is bright, happy, graphic, and of course - nautical. Different types of boats are revealed through clues + fold-out poster pages. Each poster is literally a work of art in itself. Below is a peek at the cover and a couple of the inside pages. Boat Works is available for purchase on amazon or find it at your local bookstore through Indie Bound.

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!
