Something's Hiding In Here

raymond peynet

i've been searching for a copy of "the lovers' pocketbook". printed in london, in 1954, this small book is full of endearing illustrations by raymond peynet. i can't think of a more perfect valentine's day gift. (thank you stephen).

update: yep, this is more perfect! three other vintage raymond peynet books arrived this week.

his & hers: type

 

his: expanded antique (rational, assertive, traditional, relaxed).
hers: marina script (emotional, understated, traditional, disciplined).

twenty-three academics from pentagram spent seven years researching typefaces and personalities. the result: what type are you, a simple four question test that analyses your character and recommends what type is perfect for you.

snow day

stephen tried to start a snow ball fight - inside.

even more snow

  

spring fever

 
with so much snow this weekend, we're counting the days until spring. since it's just over a month away, we're thinking about our bike project. recently, our brooks leather grips arrived in the mail. next... a rear rack & vintage crate for stephen and a gingham flag for shauna.

c&p

being snowed in means we get to play with our c&p all weekend.

love stories

this week, etsy's blog featured a post about couples who make things together. we were excited to be included and even more so when we found ourselves in such good company.  this isn't the first time we've been inspired by chris & mary of maryink, ben & natalie of suddenly it's real, or david and maggie of loyalty and blood. check out the entire post here and learn how several etsy lovebirds met.
