look what I got!!!

Wow! I was so lucky and got the best swapping partner EVER! Look what I got! It's hard to tell in this polaroid, but I got a garden pot full of seeds, a mini watering can, gardening gloves, a little shovel, a Jane Austen book and some really beautiful scientific drawings of plants! I'm in heaven. Can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can plant my flowers on the balcony. Thanks Nicole! You're the best!

Someone lovely thought I would like this song and he was exactly right. Maybe you will like her too. Check out Wrong Girl by Missy Higgins here.

WHY I LOVE NEW YORK:
You can go here, the aptly named Dessert Truck, and have all your sugar plum dreams come true. Last time I tried the donuts and tonight I'm going to try the cinnamon apples. Dessert from a van...why didn't I think of this?

These littles loves are from Old Navy and I can't wait to get my mitts on them. I just can't wait for this nasty New York weather to warm up so I can be cute again.

Please visit Zannie. Her new website is so cute and filled with all her amazing design work. I get to sit next to her in class and hope that through osmosis her talent will pass onto me. Knock on her door.

To all the bookworms/designers, I suggest taking a peek at this book. I picked it up during my Book Cover Design class last semester and I can't get over how brilliant the covers are. I'm a big fan of the Penguin book series and this book offers up some interesting backstory of how this little collection came to be. As an added bonus, it looks so sweet on my bookshelf!

diet schmiet

In the spirit of New Years dieting resolutions, I thought these WPA posters from the 30's were
appropriate. I wish advertising and public service announcements still looked like this today.
Don't those fruits look so delicious? YUM!
