FREE PRINTABLE : PINWHEEL STATIONERY SET
I'm sure we all agree that Friday totally rules, but today is an even better Friday than usual because I have a present for you!
&Presents are the best ever! Especially useful presents!
&This useful present features the pretty little pinwheels I've been drawing all week!
The set includes :
- 5.5" x 8.5" letter sheets (2 to a page - I recommend printing these on lightweight paper)
- 5.5" x 4.25" (A2) folded note cards (2 to a page - I recommend printing these on cardstock)
- 5.5" x 4.25" (A2) envelope template (These are also best printed on cardstock or heavier paper)
The Pinwheel Stationery Set is free to download and print as many times as you want, but is not intended for resale or any other commercial use. Etc. Please be nice, y'all..
Please enjoy and have an excellent weekend!
I'll be spending mine with Tisa, my dear sister, to celebrate her birthday!

HELLO AGAIN! PLUS : FONT FEST! (PART TWO)
Hey y'all!
I really tend to hibernate in the winter, especially when the weather goes from so so cold to cold as the dickens! Here in DC that change happened in the past week or so, and as a result I've mostly been holed up in my house under blankets.
&you know what that means!
No?
It means : wasting spending so much time digging through the internet!
During a recent dig, I stumbled upon this post on Pikaland which turned me onto this legitly badass typography resource on the legitly badass (and legitly in spanish) neo2 blog! They feature loads of unique lettering styles by loads of illustrators &designers.
LOADS!
I wanted to share some of my favorite fonts (which are freeee to download!) and barely got past the first page of them before having way too many for sharing to be reasonable.
So instead of all my most-faveys ( way too hard to pick ), I instead give you this little taste test of what you'll find on the site :
{ psst.. I highly recommend you click this pic so you can see these fonts in BIG size. worth it }
Agadulce by Luis Vicente Hernandez Gonzalez
Nico (shown : Nico Medium) by Ipsum Planet
Minimeter by Anton Studer
Goodbye (shown : Goodbye Black) by Anton Studer
Isosibilia (mistakenly shown as Iso Type) by Rodrigo Fuenzalida
Laser by Oscar & Ewan
Motion (shown : Motion One) by Anton Studer
{ p.s. 'font fest' heading is in Pee Pants Script via this post on Poppytalk }
{ p.p.s. image under sample text is the design from my Reckless Pumpkin Flat Note Set available in my Felt & Wire shop }

p.s. i have green hair now!
It's pretty fun. I feel kinda like a vegetable.
In a fun way!
I decided that if I were a vegetable I would be a haleychoke. Just makes sense.

FONT FEST!
Due to an acute case of insomnia last month, I managed to add over 25 new fonts to my obsessive collection..
&then I realized that I should share the wealth! { plus that helps me justify the amount of hours I spent looking at fonts.. }
also: One of my goals in life is to:
a) find, & b) hang out next to: the Tumtum tree!
from the Jabberwocky by Lewis Carrol...
Yeah.. I think about that old tree a lot.. { hence the text in the font samples }
..Right. Chew on this! { these! }

Oh wait! TOTAL BONUS :
The font I used to number the uh, other fonts is none other than mine very own-made Romantique!
Enjoy!!

FREE PRINTABLE STATIONERY SET - YAY
Hey y'all!
I've had all manner of nice things happen in the past few weeks so I figure I ought to pass a little of it on -- and it has been a while since I've given you something to play with.. so here's what I made you!
There are two PDFs:
- one with 2 sheets of milk-on-graph writing paper (approximately 5"x7"), and
- one with a milk-on-graph envelope template (approximately 3.5"x5")
..the writing paper fits perfectly in the envelope once it's folded, and the envelope has a white label space already on it, ready for you to fill in!
download the writing paper here
download the envelope template here
the only rule is that you use it for personal use only.. print it out as many times as you want, give it as a gift, whatever, just don't sell it or steal it, plz.
I think milk cartons are pretty freaking cute, btw.
ENJOY!!!
