nantaka joy.

i read oh joy's blog everyday, she is such an inspiration to designers. last week she had a sale at her shop, nantaka joy, buy one get one free! i finally purchased my very first nantaka joy product!! the noted olive ombre notebook, 4.5” x 6.5” with scalloped edges and 72 lined pages.

chasing pavements.

this is my new favorite song...chasing pavements by adele. i am in love with her cd, adele 19. this was her performance on the today show.

the lemon ball 2009.

i finally got a minute to post all of our photos from the lemon ball!! it was saturday, january 17th at the marriott downtown in philadelphia. loveleigh donated the design of all the printed materials, which included the invitations, tribute/auction books and all the signage for the evening.

we just recently learned that over $500,000 dollars was raised that night to help support alex's lemonade stand! so amazing, despite the state of the current economy. one of the most touching highlights of the night took place during the live auction when liz scott, alex's mother, auctioned a baker’s dozen of her famous lemon cookies. the winning bid of $13,000 was received with a standing ovation on the eve of what would have been alex’s 13th birthday. i am so glad we could be a part of this night.

sadness.

one of my most fave home decor magazines, Domino, just announced they are folding. the march issue will be the last. very sad.

loveleigh at g.

last night loveleigh invitations attended the preview party for the 2009 lemon ball, benefiting alex's lemonade stand. loveleigh is donating the design for all the print materials for the event! the party was at g lounge and was a great time. it was the first time our logo was displayed to the public eye! so exciting. can't wait for the ball next month!!!

table type.

great gift for a graphic designer! these are type coasters from veer: table your passion for type with these laser-etched bamboo type coasters. bundled in a family of four, each 4" by 1/4" coaster features a unique jumble of characters from baskerville semibold. and while you protect your surfaces from spills, you’ll also be protecting the environment. bamboo grabs carbon from the air and traps it, so these coasters take carbon out of circulation. made in Canada out of mature stock.

designed by ACD and Shrapnel Design.

snow.
