Instagrams from the Outer Banks, North Carolina:

*Child’s spelling game at the Beachcomber Museum, Nags Head.  (This amazing space housed Nellie Myrtle’s treasures from 60 years of early morning beach combing in the Outer Banks).

*Surfboards.

*Ivin’s Famous Spiced Wafers.  (I got these boxes purely for the packaging with no idea of the contents, but they ended up being delicious spicy  ginger snaps.  They are perfect for making mini ice cream sandwiches).

*Bright Plastic Boats, Nags Head.

*Fishing Lure Collection from the Beachcomber Museum.

*Parachute with Nan and the Cousins.

Have a lovely weekend!

Birthday Stencil

I can hardly believe that four years ago at this time we had just said goodbye to our midwife, ordered Indian food and sat staring at our brand new sleeping baby girl.  We were ecstatic and exhausted and in love.   The house was quiet and felt magical and full and we were suddenly no longer just a couple, but a family.   That Indian food was the best meal I have ever eaten.

I found this Indian chalk stencil (Chalk na dabba) at Tail of the Yak a few months ago.  I remember these stencils on doorsteps when I visited India.  They are usually amazing floral designs stamped out with colored chalk (chuna).  The stencils are punched out by hand on recycled tin.  I love the magic made from the most humble materials.  We filled ours with baking powder this morning and stamped along our front steps while Ada was out with Daddy.  She was quite pleased to find the little trail of birthday wishes up the steps and insisted on sitting out there in her birthday dress to let the neighbors know who owned the day.

Thank you to all of you who stopped by our booth this past weekend!  (This post was meant to go out yesterday, but a lightning storm left us technology-free for the day).  Marissa, Marla and I had a nice break from the kids and got to meet some new faces at Renegade.  Here are some Instagrams from our booth:

*Letterpress business cards, printed by Woodside Press.  I love this place.  They are located in a cool old warehouse building in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and their space is full of huge old presses and pretty amazing views of the city.  I water-colored the card edges after they came off the press.

*Our table set up.  We used Instagrams of the girls modeling product and then had stickers made by Art Flakes.  The blocks were cut from a long board and stickers applied.  They stood up well to the bright sun and were a big hit with the crowd.

*My crowns on shelves made by Chris.  I am setting up an Etsy store soon, but feel free to email me if you are interested in purchasing.

*Laser cut sign.  Similar work can be gotten here.

*Marissa’s beautiful Soor Ploom clothes.  Purchases may be made on her site.

*Table Top.

*Table Top.

*Tassels that blew in the wind on the front of our booth.

Supermarket Signage Wrapping Paper

I love the graphic garish signs that supermarkets use to advertise sales.  The food colors are always slightly off, but so beautiful – (Would you really eat meat that color?)  I have plans to work them into a painting when I get the chance.  So I asked my local store if they would let me take home the big rolls of paper after the sales passed.  They were happy to share and the bright heavy paper makes perfect gift wrap.  I love how the large scale is distorted into abstraction on little packages.  I know some little boys that would be thrilled to open presents wrapped in gross-out pig feet paper.  And the produce section is always perfectly seasonal.  Delicious.
