Consta and I have been thinking more seriously about buying a home. We plan on looking sometime mid fall. The exciting thing is finding all the beautiful things I want. First on the list is this utensil holder to match my canisters.

My best friends boyfriend...AHEM...FIANCE :) bought her a really great bag for Christmas. It glistens when it hits the light, but still a solid color. The best part is it's made out of seatbelts. So you know it has to be durable. When I asked her where she got it she pulled out this little card with the name HARVEYS on it. Apparently the company includes a compartment in their purses so that people can pass out their cards. What a great way to advertise!

I saw this carry on bag that I'm pretty much dying to have right now. The handle off of my duffel broke and I'm in desperate need. I took a second job recently to help save for the house. But if I can scronge up some extra pennies this is first on my list.

i love thinking of new year resolutions - it's the fresh start and sense of accomplishment. this year, i'm keeping the list and setting goals for myself. these aren't in stone, but here's what i'm thinking so far:

1. Graduate.

2. Take a cooking class (specifically knife skills, and meat).

3. Get into an exercise routine (again).

4. Organize Photos.

5. Learn Dreamweaver and web design.

6. Begin to start a client base for freelance projects.

As the semester comes to a close I thought I would post my personal favorite assignment of the semester. We were given the task to create our own font. It was first time doing this, and although a bit challenging I love the way the end package turned out.

fa la la la la. i love christmas. consta's family trimmed their house this weekend. everything from a beautiful tree, to garland and stockings on the railings and wreaths on the door. i know it's not even thanksgiving yet. but, it's nice, it really gives you a chance to enjoy the holiday.

these paper cuts are from re-found objects. i'm adding these to my "hope they're not sold out after christmas" list. :)

consta laughs at me because i tend to gravitate towards random things while shopping. mostly books, hats, jewelery, cookies...anything that's sparkley, tasty or puts me in a good state of mind. so of course i was "online browsing" and found this necklace and pretty cocktail ring from fuss jewelery. at least i was just browsing. :)

I've never been huge into wearing hats. Maybe because I can't seem to find one that fits quite right. I am pretty in love with the newsboy hats. I found some adorable ones in Laila Rowe not too long ago that actually looked good on. I might leave this as a NY purchase next week. :)

When I'm lucky to get a seat next to Sam in class typography suddenly gets twice as interesting. Probably because I'm too busy looking over his shoulder than paying attention. He's a really fabulous illustrator. Worth checking out here and here.

There is just something about a guy in wash jeans and a black sweater. It makes my heart go pitter-pat. Of course, that's what consta was wearing yesterday. *sigh* i love him.

how fancy. i need one of these adorable helmets to go with my scooter. they have in other styles/colors at YAKKAY. :) whenever i get a scooter, of course.
