over the rolling of waves

I love everything about the sea. How massive and undiscovered some parts are, how cool creatures live in the depths, and how beautiful the sound of waves are on the shoreline. The size of the seas really make you realize how small you are amongst this earth! I came across this really awesome wallpaper by Abigail Edwards today and it made me smile. How these simple lines and curves can so easily describe these massive wonders! How cool would this look in a nursery or just one big wall in your home studio? Her other illustrations are cute too...I LOVE the simplicity! Super sweet...

Life, in all its wonders has been so ridiculously busy. I also really hate typing out that excuse, life is always going to be busy, let's face that fact right now! So no more apologies...only thank you's. This post is a thank you to all my family, friends and you amazing readers for sticking with me even through the busy times. You rock!

I can't illustrate people, so when I come across a really great one I tend to just be, flabbergasted and in awe. I especially love fashion illustrations, simple and grand strokes of crayon, sometimes with a hit of watercolour. How gorgeous are these Percy and Reed Dry Shampoo packages? I LOVE how simple the typography treatment is, with these awesome figures as the hero. I admit, I'm slightly jealous that their hair is so voluptuous, and maybe...just maybe, I'll have such large locks if I use this dry shampoo? Heehee...

with fire and delight

It's already been a few days since returning from the cottage, but let me tell you, it was such an incredible time, and I am longing to be back there right now! Last Thursday, the crew packed up the car and we headed to the annual Labour day cottage location in Lambton Shores, Ontario. Our days were filled with some remaining summer sun, bonfires, epic s'mores {have you ever tried them with peanut butter cups instead of good ol' chocolate?}, tuns of jam sessions and games. I have to say though, the most memorable moments were made with the people that were surrounding me. Quiet, breezy nights on the beach with nothing in view but the stars, and a sense that this world truly is amazing.

A BIG thanks goes to Amanda & Justin who so warmingly invited all of the crew to their digs! Thanks guys! Love you both. xo

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend, regardless of having an extra day or not. This is the week that always has that aura of newness when school is starting back up and wish you all that are going back, the best of luck!
