Prints by Tiny Traveler Creative (+ a promo code!)
I am a huge fan of hand-lettering and hand-lettered prints!! There's something so personal and authentic about them, isn't there?

Revisiting That Summer List
For those of you who have been following along for a few months now, you may recall that back in June, I wrote about being intentional about summer. Though I didn't share all of the specifics of my Summer 2015 list, I did explain that I had subdivided it into categories such as “things to prep/start early,” “on-going smaller projects,” “bigger projects to conquer,” and “later in the summer.” Well, now it is definitely "later in the summer!" As much as I hate to admit it, I definitely struggle … [Read more...]
