travel

so the boy and i did, in fact go to san francisco last week.

we had a great time visiting and hanging out with the boy's brother + his wife + their adorable baby (aka my nephew aka the cutest baby on earth) who traveled with us.

i have so. many. pictures.

but i also have a lot of real-life catching up to do.

(you know how it is when you first get back from vaycay - it can overwhelm.)

so in the meantime, before my grand + glorious recap, i leave your eyes with this:

potw: jot

remember this guy i bought after the amazing letterpress class i took?

mini notebook purchased at fifteen eleven by suitor

i've loved having it around.

i mean i make so many lists, it's kind of nuts. i love making them, crossing things off, consolidating them.

before i bought this notebook, i'd scribble my ideas or things to do anywhere i could find a spare scrap of paper - even pages from old magazines often found themselves living a second life as a list in my purse.

but there's a prettier way.

a letterpressed way.

below are some of my favorites:

no longer being sold, but i appreciate the love of lists

also, if you're looking for a unique gift idea or card for the upcoming crazyseason, spend some time browsing through the felt & wire store offerings. 

i want all the things

if you're going

...to san francisco until next monday

you better bring at least five belts.
